  "account": "Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha met with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, in New York during the UN General Assembly. The two discussed ways to keep tensions low, following a telephone conversation they had in July. This was a follow-up to the Iranian-designed drones that Ukraine has faced in the over 4-1/2 years of conflict with Russia. Kyiv has developed technology to counter drone threats and offered assistance to Middle Eastern countries facing such strikes. The conversation focused on mutual steps to prevent further aggravation of tensions between their countries and the two agreed to keep existing channels of communication open. Sybiha reiterated Ukraine's position in support of soon restoration of peace and stability in both their regions. The two men also spoke about various tracks of ongoing peace efforts in the Middle East and Europe.",
