Ukraine's railway showcases 'Peace Express' departure of US envoys after Kyiv talks

Ukrzaliznytsia, Ukraine's state railway, showcased the departure of the train carrying US President Donald Trump's negotiators back to the Ukrainian border after talks in Kyiv on September 6. The state company published footage on social media around midnight on September 7, showing Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner boarding the train for their return journey. The station's departure board displayed the name "Peace Express" for the train, and Ukrzaliznytsia expressed gratitude for the visit, wishing the envoys a swift return and broader travel across Ukraine. The US special envoys arrived in Kyiv by train on September 6 and met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky near St. Sophia's Cathedral, alongside national security advisors from France, Britain, and Germany. Zelensky reported three rounds of "very substantive" talks covering potential war-ending parameters and short-term support, with several new ideas proposed. The envoys had previously held negotiations in Moscow on September 5, with Witkoff stating their mission was to "bring the sides closer."
