  "account": "Executive Director at the Institute for World Policy Yevhen Mahda expressed concern on September 23 that U.S. President Donald Trump is not applying sufficient pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. Mahda stated that there are no signs of a swift resolution, and that Trump must exert pressure on Putin to achieve this goal. Mahda suggested that even without new sanctions, Trump could simply declare his alignment with Ronald Reagan's perspective of Russia as the successor to the Soviet empire. At a September 22 meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the UN General Assembly in New York, Trump reportedly suggested that Putin was willing to meet at the leadership level to end the war. However, Zelenskyy noted that he has not received a definite answer from the U.S. on the supply of Patriot missiles to defend against Russian attacks this winter. Zelenskyy also urged Trump to use Chinese President Xi Jinping's influence over Putin to facilitate an end to the war.",
