  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky disclosed to Axios that the Trump administration is pushing for three key actions to ease tensions in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. First, the U.S. has suggested that both Russia and Ukraine cease strikes on energy facilities. Washington is also interested in reopening the Black Sea grain corridor and arranging three-way discussions involving the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine. Abu Dhabi is a potential location for these talks, and Zelensky confirmed that Kyiv is open to hosting them anywhere. Moreover, the G20 summit in Miami this December could also serve as a venue for a trilateral meeting, according to Zelensky and former President Donald Trump. However, Zelensky remains skeptical about Vladimir Putin's willingness to negotiate, believing Putin \"could find reasons\" to avoid a meeting of the three nations' leaders. A source close to the situation revealed to Axios that Putin's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev will arrive in New York on September 24 to discuss the U.S. proposals with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. While a Russian outlet claims that a trilateral meeting is being planned in New York between Ukrainian Presidential Office head Kyrylo Budanov and U.S. and Russian special envoys Steve Witkoff and Kirill Dmitriev, Russia has denied the report.
