  "account": "President Zelenskyj of Ukraine has indicated his willingness to hold elections in the country, but has placed a demand on Russian President Putin. In an interview with ABC's \"This Week\" program, Zelenskyj proposed giving Putin 60 days of complete arms cease-fire. This proposal came in response to recent tensions between Zelenskyj and US President Donald Trump. Trump recently announced an agreement that allows Russia to export millions of tons of diesel, a move that has been heavily criticized by Ukrainian authorities. High fuel prices in the US have become a significant issue as the country gears up for its midterm elections in November. Trump has argued that the high prices are due to Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil facilities, not the Hormuz Strait closure. On Saturday, Trump suggested on his \"Truth Social\" platform that Ukraine should receive an immediate cease-fire for weapons and energy infrastructure in the ongoing war. Ukrainian President Zelenskyj shifted the blame to Putin, stating that the real cause of the war in Europe is Russia. He wrote earlier on Sunday that Ukraine is ready to halt attacks on energy infrastructure immediately, but Putin is unwilling to do so. Ukraine would be willing to stop attacking Russian oil refineries if Russia stops attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Any retaliation measures must be reciprocal and supported by real guarantees, Zelenskyj further wrote. These topics have been previously discussed, with Zelenskyj mentioning elections multiple times, most recently in December 2025. He stated that Ukraine would be ready for elections if the US and other allies could guarantee the country's security. Recently in September, Zelenskyj said Ukraine is willing to stop attacking Russian energy targets if partners secure an agreement with Russia to ensure Russia stops attacking critical infrastructure in Ukraine.",
