  "account": "Kyiv, Ukraine - President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed optimism that the United States could mediate an end to Russia's war in Ukraine until the end of summer 2027. Zelenskyy revealed that he has drafted a one-page proposal containing ideas for a ceasefire and a free economic zone in eastern Donbas, all of which have been presented to Moscow. The main point of the proposal is a ceasefire, while the economic zone is a secondary component. Zelenskyy suggested the window for peace lies between the recent G20 summit and the 2028 US presidential election. He also mentioned that Ukraine has previously given proposals to US negotiators, but these talks have stalled due to differing priorities. The US-led talks failed this year when Ukraine refused Russian demands for more territory and as Washington focused on Iran. US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were last in Moscow in January and have not yet returned to Kyiv. Zelenskyy emphasized that these three ideas were jointly developed with the Americans and Europeans, drawing from previous discussions. Russia remains interested in hearing new proposals but insists they must align with the current realities on the ground, particularly its goal of capturing the rest of Donbas.",
