  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's \"worthless\" and \"weak\" move in securing a major release of diesel from Russia, despite the sanctions imposed on Moscow due to its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The deal, agreed upon by Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, involves Russia supplying over 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and global markets immediately, with additional shipments of 500,000 and 1 million tons in November. These moves come weeks before the U.S. midterm elections, as Americans grapple with soaring fuel prices, which have surged more than 46% since late February. Zelensky dismissed Trump's actions as dishonest and unworthy of a partner, while the U.S. Treasury issued a temporary license to allow Russian diesel to flow to global markets through April 2027.",
  "summary": "The US president is easing war sanctions on Moscow in a push to lower energy costs ahead of midterm elections.",
