  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated on Saturday the possibility of a trilateral meeting between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States during the upcoming G20 Summit in December, as per a post on X. Zelenskyy stated that the United States is actively involved in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, urging increased pressure on Moscow instead of Kyiv. The American negotiating track will persist, anticipating the pressure from Washington to be more stringent against Putin. Zelenskyy expressed readiness to meet in Ukraine, Europe, or the United States, with a potential meeting occurring next week. The American side has signaled a prospective meeting in the coming week. Washington has also proposed a trilateral meeting with Russia and Ukraine, potentially in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, another European nation, or the United States during the G20 summit. Confirmation from Russia or the US is expected. Zelenskyy emphasized that European countries should independently pursue negotiations with Russia, and he agreed to converse with Turkish President Erdogan concerning sea and food security among Middle Eastern parties. He also pledged separate discussions with Turkish President Erdoğan on sea and food security issues. Zelenskyy expressed disappointment over President Donald Trump's waiver of additional tariffs on major Russian oil buyers under the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026.",
