  "summary": "President Volodymyr Zelensky commenced direct negotiations with US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Kyiv on Sunday, Sept. 6, meeting them at St. Sophia Square. The meeting marks the first visit by the US delegation to Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion began. Witkoff and Kushner arrived in the capital by train due to persistent Russian aerial attacks that forced them to take overland rail transport instead of flying into Ukraine. Zelensky explained that Ukraine had initially prepared to welcome the American delegation at an airport but had to change their mode of arrival due to Russian strikes. The consultation at St. Sophia Square follows a strategy session Zelensky convened earlier in the day to finalize Ukraine’s diplomatic platform, emphasizing a constructive, disciplined, and realistic dialogue focused on achieving a durable peace, robust security guarantees, and full respect for Ukrainian sovereignty.",
