  "account": "Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated that easing sanctions on Russian diesel will not benefit global markets or contribute to peace in Ukraine. Instead, he believes it will be perceived by Russian President Vladimir Putin as an indication of U.S. weakness. Sybiha emphasized that the only way to lower fuel prices on the global market is through an energy truce between Ukraine and Russia, which Kyiv is prepared to undertake.\n\nSybiha accused the U.S. of displaying weakness through its decision to supply Russian diesel fuel to the U.S. and global markets, following a phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Putin. The move, according to Sybiha, aligns with appeasement and will not bring peace, just as appeasement never does. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy echoed similar sentiments, calling the U.S. decision weak and stating that it was being made while a Ukrainian negotiating team was in the United States, implying it was being used as a distraction.",
  "summary": "Easing sanctions on Russian diesel will not help global markets or bring peace in Ukraine, but will instead be seen by Russian President Vladimir Putin as a sign of U.S. weakness, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on X on Oct. 9.",
