  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine, the United States, and Russia have agreed to hold a trilateral meeting at the negotiating-team level in the first half of November. Speaking at the Hudson Institute, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is prepared to meet at any time, but the next step depends on Russia's willingness to participate. He revealed that discussions took place with U.S. President Donald Trump's representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to discuss the outcomes of meetings in Oslo and St. Petersburg and methods to progress diplomatic efforts in November.\n\nZelenskyy mentioned that Ukraine had anticipated a trilateral meeting in October as well, but it was cancelled due to Russia's refusal to attend. He urged the United States, Europe, and other partners to assist in ensuring the talks move forward, emphasizing the significance of continued U.S. involvement and pressure on Moscow. Zelenskyy advocated for negotiations at the technical level to culminate in a meeting between national leaders, asserting that critical issues can only be resolved at that level.\n\nHe also expressed concerns over persistent speed restrictions affecting Starlink and Starshield services, stating that their speeds remain unrecovered. Furthermore, he noted that deliveries of interceptor missiles, meant to shield Ukraine from Russian ballistic attacks, have been delayed despite prior agreements. Despite these challenges, Zelenskyy affirmed that Ukrainian forces continue to maintain the front line and execute operations effectively, acknowledging that conditions have worsened, partly due to the satellite-service constraints. However, he praised the resilience of Ukrainian troops. The president highlighted the importance of preserving strong ties with the United States and other international partners, emphasizing that Ukraine aims to provide a more transparent account of the war's reality to enable political leaders to make informed decisions that could hasten peace. Zelenskyy reiterated Ukraine's top priority: peace, while stressing the importance of persistent international engagement to attain it.",
