  "account": "US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to travel to Ukraine for talks aimed at ending the war, following a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday, according to US officials. The two-day talks in Moscow behind closed doors lasted three hours and covered a range of topics, including potential major, mutually beneficial Russian-American projects, beyond resolving the Ukrainian crisis. Russian adviser Yuri Ushakov described the talks as \"constructive, extremely frank\" and noted the Russian army's tangible advances in the combat zone. Ushakov also acknowledged that the talks needed to address the root causes of the conflict. Despite this, Russia still controls about one-fifth of Ukrainian territory. The visit of Witkoff and Kushner, who are top negotiators for former President Donald Trump, marks the first trip by senior US officials to Ukraine's capital since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. The talks come after a recent escalation of aerial attacks between Russia and Ukraine, with Ukraine struggling to repel ballistic missile attacks due to a lack of interceptor missiles.",
