  "account": "On 11 October, US President Donald Trump announced an \"energy ceasefire\" between Russia and Ukraine, claiming both sides had agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure. Trump tweeted, \"Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!\" This is the second such announcement in less than a month; a similar one was made on 14 September, but Russia's President Vladimir Putin refused to accept it, leading to continued strikes. As of the announcement, Russia had not officially confirmed its acceptance, while Ukraine reported ongoing attacks on its energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy expressed surprise at the announcement but said Ukraine would support it if Moscow did. He urged Trump to specify when the ceasefire would begin, stating Ukraine would accept it if the US president negotiated it with Putin. Ukrainian officials reported continued strikes, including attacks on a power plant in Kharkiv and Kyiv, despite Trump's claim. Moscow has yet to confirm whether it has accepted the US proposal. The effectiveness of Trump's announcement in halting the attacks remains uncertain.",
