CASSANDRA VINOGRAD, ANDREW E. KRAMER2026年9月8日美国特使史蒂夫·维特科夫（中）和贾里德·库什纳（右）周日在乌克兰基辅。库什纳透露，在当天一系列会谈中，他们向乌克兰总统泽连斯基提出了“新想法”。 Francisco Seco/Associated PressThe Americans arrived on a train that the Ukrainians called the “peace express.” Yet nothing about the process of ending the war with Russia has been fast or direct, and there is no sign that will change anytime soon.美国人是乘着一列乌克兰人称为“和平快车”的火车抵达的。然而，结束这场战争的过程既不快速也不直接，且没有迹象表明这一状况会在短期内改变。The U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner went to Ukraine on Sunday fresh off a trip to Moscow bearing what President Trump said was a proposal to end nearly five years of war.美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和贾里德·库什纳周日抵达乌克兰，他们此前刚刚结束对莫斯科的访问，此行带着特朗普总统所说的一项旨在结束长达近五年的战争的提议。But the Trump administration itself, consumed by its war with Iran, had allowed the peace process to enter such a deep freeze that the trip was just a preliminary step — talks about how to resume talks. And President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said it appeared that the war would continue at least into what analysts say could be a devastating winter for the country.但自身正深陷对伊战争泥潭的特朗普政府已让和平进程陷入深度冻结，此次行程因此仅是一个先期步骤——讨论如何恢复谈判。乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，战争看来将继续下去，至少要拖入分析人士所称的、对该国而言可能是毁灭性的冬季。“It’s a very, very hard problem, but we’re going to try,” Mr. Kushner said of negotiations to end the war. “And I think if we can achieve that, it’d be an incredible thing. That doesn’t mean we will achieve it, but it’s very important to try.”“这是一个非常、非常难的问题，但我们会尝试，”库什纳谈到结束战争的谈判时说。“我认为如果我们能做到，那将是一件了不起的事。这不意味着我们一定能做到，但尝试非常重要。”Mr. Kushner said “new ideas” were presented to Mr. Zelensky in a series of discussions on Sunday. He gave no details and also declined to give a timeline for reaching any potential settlement.库什纳表示，周日在与泽连斯基的一系列讨论中提出了“新想法”。他没有透露细节，也拒绝给出达成任何潜在解决方案的时间表。The Ukrainian leader offered little more detail about the talks with the Americans. “All the possibilities” for resuming negotiations were discussed, he said at a news conference after the meetings, as were “several genuinely new ideas.”乌克兰领导人对与美方的会谈基本没有提供更多细节。会后新闻发布会上，他说讨论了恢复谈判的“所有可能性”，以及“几个真正的新想法”。When pressed on when further talks would be held, the responses from Mr. Witkoff, Mr. Kushner and Mr. Zelensky seemed to follow a pattern: “Soon” or “hopefully soon.”当被追问后续会谈何时举行时，威特科夫、库什纳和泽连斯基的回应似乎都遵循同一个模式：“很快”或“有望很快”。Ukrainian officials had been saying before the Americans arrived that they expected negotiations to resume in earnest later this month, after Russian parliamentary elections but before the U.S. midterms.乌克兰官员在美方抵达前一直表示，他们预计谈判将于本月晚些时候真正恢复，即在俄罗斯议会选举之后、美国中期选举之前。库什纳（左）和维特科夫周日在基辅与泽连斯基一同出席新闻发布会。 Genya Savilov/Agence France-Presse — Getty ImagesThose talks, if they happen, would be held alongside an escalation in the air war between Moscow and Kyiv, and a Russian push to accelerate its slow territorial gains in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. The war, analysts say, is likely to get only uglier in the months to come, as Russia seeks a knockout wintertime blow against Kyiv and the two sides try to gain the upper hand in eventual settlement negotiations.这些谈判如果举行，将在莫斯科与基辅之间空战升级的背景下进行，同时俄罗斯正推动加速其在乌克兰东部顿巴斯地区的缓慢领土扩张。分析人士称，未来几个月战争只会变得更加残酷，因为俄罗斯寻求在冬季对基辅发动决定性打击，而双方都试图在最终的解决方案谈判中占据上风。While it remains to be seen if peace negotiations can be revived after a six-month lull, the visit by Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner was meaningful for Ukraine because it finally brought the two Americans out of a Moscow bubble.虽然和平谈判能否在六个月的停滞后恢复仍有待观察，但威特科夫和库什纳的此次访问对乌克兰意义重大，因为它终于让两位美国人走出了莫斯科的“回音室”。The envoys’ visit to Kyiv, which ended late on Sunday, was their first after several trips to Russia. It gave the Ukrainians the chance to show, and not just tell, as they try to make their case and ensure that the Trump administration does not revert to clearly favoring Russia in talks, as it did earlier in the process.两位特使对基辅的访问于周日晚间结束，这是他们多次访问俄罗斯后的首次基辅之行。此行让乌克兰人有机会用实情展示而不只是口头陈述，从而在试图阐明立场的同时，确保特朗普政府不会回到谈判进程早期那样明显偏向俄罗斯的立场。The Ukrainians started serving up symbolism before the envoys even reached Kyiv. A refined meal was laid out on the train ride for Mr. Witkoff, a known gourmand, and Mr. Kushner. It included a selection of Crimean Tatar dishes, highlighting Ukraine’s ties to the peninsula that Russia illegally annexed more than a decade ago.乌克兰人在特使抵达基辅之前就开始营造象征意义。火车行程中为嗜好美食的威特科夫和库什纳摆出了一顿精致的餐食，包括一系列克里米亚鞑靼菜肴，凸显乌克兰与十多年前被俄罗斯非法吞并的半岛之间的联系。Upon arrival, Mr. Zelensky greeted the envoys on the landmark Sophia Square, whose display of tributes to fallen soldiers is impossible to ignore, then brought them into the historic cathedral, a symbol of Ukrainian national identity.抵达后，泽连斯基在地标性的索菲亚广场迎接特使，那里展陈着向阵亡士兵致敬的纪念物，令人无法忽视，随后带他们进入这座历史悠久的教堂——乌克兰民族身份的象征。Mr. Zelensky’s negotiator later wore a joke T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Kyiv Regime” — poking fun at the sneering term used by President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to refer to Ukraine’s government.泽连斯基的谈判代表后来穿了一件印有“基辅政权”字样的玩笑T恤，以此嘲讽俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·V·普京用来指代乌克兰政府的蔑称。Mr. Zelensky offered jokes, too, in telling Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner to “come more often,” since the Kremlin agreed to temporarily halt during their trip what have been especially intense all-day strikes on Kyiv.泽连斯基也开起了玩笑，他对威特科夫和库什纳说“要常来”，因为克里姆林宫同意在两人访问期间暂时停止对基辅的打击——此前这种全天候打击尤为猛烈。For many Ukrainians, that was the best and only anticipated result, at least in the near term.对许多乌克兰人来说，这至少是近期内最好的、也是唯一可以预期的结果。“Thank you dear Steve and thank you dear Jared for giving us this afternoon without air-raid alerts,” a Kyiv tour guide, Dmytro Soloviov, said with a touch of sarcasm while leading a walking tour of the city’s architecture.“谢谢亲爱的史蒂夫，谢谢亲爱的贾里德，给了我们一个没有空袭警报的下午，”基辅导游德米特罗·索洛维约夫在带着人们游览城市建筑时，用略显嘲讽的语气说道。Yana Vilimetova, a procurement manager, said Ukrainians would use the brief respite to recharge a little. It felt like Groundhog Day to many — another flurry initiated by the Americans, with little expectation of any change in Mr. Putin’s determination to continue fighting.采购经理亚娜·维利梅托娃表示，乌克兰人会利用这段短暂的喘息时间。对许多人来说，这感觉像是《土拨鼠之日》，是美国人掀起的又一阵喧嚣，而人们并不指望普京会改变他继续作战的决心。“We’ll just sleep for three days without strikes, reset our mental health during these days, and that’s it,” Ms. Vilimetova said.“我们只会在没有空袭的日子睡上三天，恢复一下心理健康，仅此而已，”维利梅托娃说。While no one expects a lasting cease-fire anytime soon, a placard on the dining car table in the U.S. envoys’ train offered a hopeful thought.虽然短期内没有人预计会达成持久停火，但美方特使所乘火车餐车桌上的一块标语牌提出了一个充满希望的想法。“Peace,” it read, “arrives on time.”“和平，”标语写道，“准点到达。”Evelina Riabenko和Kim Barker对本文有报道贡献。Andrew E.
