  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signaled his willingness to engage in further peace talks with the United States, potentially as early as next week. The U.S. peace platform, once operational, will be utilized to apply more pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin rather than on Ukraine, Zelenskyy stated. He expressed readiness to meet with American officials in Ukraine, Europe, or anywhere else they prefer, emphasizing that the format of these discussions – be it a single or multi-party conversation – is inconsequential as long as peace is achieved. Zelenskyy indicated there is a possibility of a meeting with the U.S. side in the upcoming week, following the American side's previous communication to Ukraine about the potential encounter.",
