  "summary": "US envoy Steve Witkoff expressed optimism regarding ongoing peace talks in Moscow and Kyiv, stating that the United States aims to find a diplomatic resolution to the five-year conflict. Witkoff, along with fellow US envoy Jared Kushner and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, held a news conference in Kyiv, marking the first time the envoys visited the capital for discussions aimed at ending the war. Despite their visit to Moscow the previous day, where they engaged in three hours of talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, no significant breakthrough was reported. Previous US-mediated peace talks, initiated by President Donald Trump, have not produced substantial results, and Witkoff hinted at a new proposal from the US, though details were not provided.",
