  "summary": "US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Kyiv on Sunday, following talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday. According to the White House, the meeting with Putin was \"substantive\" and discussed plans for next steps to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.\n\nThe two envoys met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, marking their first visit to the Ukrainian capital since Russia's full-scale invasion. Zelensky reportedly expressed his desire for an end to the war, stating that \"peace is needed\" and \"security guarantees are needed.\"\n\nThe visit is part of a renewed US push for peace in the region, with the White House aiming to revive negotiations to end Europe's worst conflict since WWII. The conflict has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and displaced millions of people. According to Kyiv Post, Zelensky initially planned to welcome the American delegation at an airport, but due to persistent Russian aerial attacks, they took overland rail transport instead.",
