"textContent": "During ongoing peace negotiations in Geneva, the Ukrainian delegation has split over whether to sign a US-led agreement, reports The Economist. One faction is led by Kyrylo Budanov (listed by Rosfinmonitoring as a terrorist and extremist), head of the office of President Volodymyr Zelensky. Budanov supports a rapid peace deal with Russia under American guidance, citing concerns that the \"window of opportunity” could close if negotiations drag on.\nBudanov Leads One Wing of Delegation\n\nSources indicate that Budanov now effectively heads Kyiv's negotiating team in Geneva. He advocates swift agreement to protect Ukraine's interests and prevent a prolonged stalemate. His faction views a US-mediated resolution as the most reliable path to peace.\nThe delegation also includes Rustem Umerov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, David Arakhamia, head of the ruling party faction in parliament, and other senior officials and military officers.",
