  "summary": "Germany will continue to push for new EU sanctions against Russia, despite a recent agreement between Moscow and Washington to release diesel fuel to ease a global crunch. According to The Local Germany, this decision was announced on Saturday.\n\nUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned Russia's recent actions, stating that Russian strikes on residential buildings in Zaporizhia, which killed 12 people, including three children, were a response to the easing of sanctions on diesel fuel exports. As reported by Interfax-Ukraine, Zelenskyy also mentioned that 14 people were injured, with two in critical condition.\n\nA phone call between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump led to Moscow announcing the early lifting of restrictions on diesel exports, with additional volumes potentially reaching the American market as early as October, as stated by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, as quoted by New Voice of Ukraine.",
