  "account": "Russian President Vladimir Putin met with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow for an extended discussion on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with the Kremlin describing the meeting as \"highly useful.\" Putin reaffirmed his commitment to finding a diplomatic solution, while also emphasizing the complexity of the situation. The US envoys departed Moscow following the talks, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressing readiness for a ceasefire if the Russian side reciprocates. Despite the brief pause in strikes, Ukraine reported continued violence in other regions, raising questions about the effectiveness of the ceasefire initiative. US President Donald Trump's aides signaled a renewed effort to resolve the war, which began with Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. The outcome of the visit remains uncertain, with some suggesting the trip could provide momentum for ongoing negotiations.",
  "summary": "Putin opened the talks by calling the situation the sides have to resolve “not a simple one” and asked the US envoys to pass on his best wishes to Trump.",
