  "account": "Germany has affirmed its commitment to sanctions against Russia following the war in Ukraine, despite US President Donald Trump's temporary easing of sanctions on Russian diesel. Federal government spokesperson Stefan Kornelius stated that the country remains fully committed to the decisions on sanctions against Russia and is collaborating with its European partners on additional sanctions. Germany has not imported any oil or oil products from Russia since the country's full-scale invasion in 2022. The country's Economic Affairs Minister Katherina Reiche echoed this sentiment, reaffirming Germany's support for the sanctions packages. The country remains Ukraine's largest financial supporter in Europe, with Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasizing Germany's unwavering support for Ukraine during a recent visit to Kyiv. However, former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's attendance at Putin's birthday party in Moscow has drawn criticism, with Green party co-leader Franziska Brantner calling for his expulsion from the SPD party.",
