  "account": "Russia announced a three-day ceasefire from strikes against Kyiv on Saturday, in conjunction with peace negotiations spearheaded by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed the order, stating that no strikes would be conducted against Kyiv starting at midnight. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously agreed to halt airstrikes for the talks. US President Donald Trump had promised to end the conflict in Ukraine on his first day in office, but recent reports suggest the effort is proving more challenging than anticipated. Zelenskyy declared that an appropriate response would be made in retaliation for a Russian drone attack on Ukraine's domestic security service headquarters in Kyiv. US envoys Kushner and Witkoff arrived in Moscow on Saturday, greeted by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev. The pair received a proposal to end the war from Trump, though no specifics were provided.",
  "summary": "Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have arrived in Moscow to revive Ukraine peace talks. The trip is the pair's first visit to Kyiv since US President Donald Trump's reelection.",
