  "account": "Russia has announced a 72-hour ceasefire in strikes against Kyiv, beginning at midnight, in coordination with ongoing peace talks led by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed the order via state media. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously agreed to halt strikes for the duration of the negotiations. Despite previous US President Donald Trump's promises to end the war, he did not disclose specifics of the proposed peace plan during the announcement. Zelenskyy expressed concerns about the safety of the American envoys, while Trump emphasized the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Meanwhile, a Russian drone strike on the headquarters of Ukraine's domestic security service in Kyiv marked a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict.",
  "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.",
