  "account": "The Kremlin dismissed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's proposal for a 60-day ceasefire to allow for presidential elections, insisting it desired a comprehensive peace agreement instead. Zelensky suggested this arrangement during an interview on ABC's \"This Week\" on Sunday. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on Monday that Russia was seeking a long-term peace deal rather than a temporary ceasefire. He emphasized that Moscow and its officials have consistently maintained that they do not desire a ceasefire, but are willing to do all that is necessary to achieve lasting peace. Russia has previously urged Ukraine to hold elections, alleging that Zelensky's failure to do so renders him an illegitimate leader. Ukrainian law prohibits elections during wartime. The Kremlin also mentioned ongoing discussions about a potential energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, announced by US President Donald Trump on Monday. Peskov did not clarify whether such a ceasefire would be limited to oil refineries and hinted at further details to be disclosed later. Trump announced the proposed ceasefire shortly after Zelensky's interview, stating that Trump should dissuade Russia from attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure to prevent retaliation against Russian energy assets.",
