  "account": "US President Donald Trump has announced that his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and businessman Steve Witkoff will be visiting Moscow and Kyiv with a proposal aimed at ending Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Trump told reporters that Kushner and Witkoff, who have previously served as envoys for Trump in peace efforts in the Middle East and Ukraine, are bringing a peace proposal to the table. The US president did not provide specifics about the plan, which could involve Ukraine ceding territory to Russia, a suggestion Trump has made in the past. Kushner and Witkoff's first stop in Ukraine is set for Sunday, following talks in Moscow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously stated that the pair would travel to Ukraine on Sunday. Despite Kushner and Witkoff's trips to Moscow, the US envoys have not visited Kyiv since Trump's reelection last year. Zelenskyy vowed to pause air attacks during negotiations and called on Russia to do the same, ensuring the safety of the negotiators. Russian officials have not confirmed the visit, stating that media will be informed if a meeting takes place. Russian President Vladimir Putin described negotiations as \"frozen,\" indicating a rejection of diplomacy. Meanwhile, a Russian drone strike on Ukraine's domestic security service headquarters in Kyiv marked a major escalation in the conflict, as Russia continues its renewed push for peace.",
