  "account": "A Ukrainian drone strike damaged a major Russian oil hub shortly after President Trump announced a deal to supply Russian diesel fuel to global markets. The Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery in Rostov-on-Don caught fire overnight following the apparent Ukrainian attack, prompting speculation that Kyiv would continue targeting Russian energy infrastructure despite US pressure. The deal, which would see Russia supply over 1.3 million tons of diesel fuel to the US and world markets in the coming weeks, was intended to lower energy costs ahead of November's midterm elections. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced the agreement, claiming it would fund \"further terror\" by Moscow. The strikes on Russian energy facilities have caused fuel shortages in parts of Russia, but analysts say the small amount of fuel Trump's deal would release will not significantly impact U.S. pump prices. Ukraine has launched numerous drone attacks on Russian energy targets, including refineries, export terminals, and fuel depots, leading to diminished Russian refinery output and heightened civil discontent. Despite multiple calls from the Trump administration for Ukraine to cease targeting energy infrastructure, Kyiv has largely ignored them.",
