  "account": "Former US President Donald Trump has harshly criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of obstructing peace negotiations and urging the nation to elect a new leader. In a fresh escalation of US pressure on Kyiv, Trump alleged that Zelensky had the opportunity to end the war multiple times but chose not to. He went on to claim that Zelensky seeks to create discord between the United States and the world by targeting Russian oil refineries. Speaking before heading to Clarksville, Tennessee, Trump expressed his disapproval of Zelensky's actions, urging him to cease attacks on these facilities immediately. He addressed the Ukrainian people, suggesting they select a new president to facilitate an agreement. Trump's comments followed his decision to strike a diesel supply deal with Russia, in response to Zelensky's reported disregard for US requests to halt the targeting of Russian refineries.",
