  "account": "Ukrainian leaders and US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Kiev for talks aimed at ending the ongoing war in Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky plans to receive the diplomats in the Ukrainian capital under a three-day truce declared by both leaders. Moscow has pledged to refrain from air strikes on Kyiv to ensure the safety of the US envoys. Witkoff, who is Jared Kushner's son-in-law, and Kushner departed from the Kremlin in the night following a roughly three-hour meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Initial reports suggest the talks did not yield immediate results, but Kremlin foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov described them as constructive, substantive, and trusting. The US side has yet to publicly comment on the meeting with Putin. The new talks, scheduled shortly, concluded after about three hours, with the two envoys departing the Kremlin in their vehicles, according to state media and a video of their convoy. No details on the outcomes of the discussions have been disclosed yet, and the Kremlin has promised to inform the public following the meeting.",
