The special diplomatic train operated by Ukrzaliznytsia, carrying the symbolic name "Peace Express," ran its schedule without a hitch. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner traveled to Kyiv and returned along today's most traveled diplomatic corridor—without bogie exchanges, delays, or border transfers.
En route, the American envoys were served freshly prepared yantyks crafted by the head chef of the renowned Crimean Tatar restaurant "Musafir," accompanied by rich coffee: a deliberate act of cultural diplomacy underscoring the heritage of Ukrainian Crimea through authentic flavors. Quiet exchanges over drafts of compromise took place across the compartment tables, while outside the windows, the Kremlin meticulously observed a three-day window of artificial calm reserved solely for VIP guests.

In practice, a French lycée operates in ways that bear little resemblance to what I grew up with in Ukraine.
French Holidays and the Inevitable “Blocage”
The academic calendar here follows a different tempo. French students stay in school a month longer: June is a regular working month, and summer break does not kick off until July. That said, the trade-off is quite generous: instead of a single week off per term as in Ukraine, students here enjoy two full weeks of vacation every seven weeks or so.
