  "account": "Donald Trump treats foreign policy as a business deal, seeking mutual benefit. He's currently dealing with Vladimir Putin, who is waging war on Ukraine and spreading disinformation. A recent phone call led Trump to announce Russia will supply 750,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. in the coming months, relaxing sanctions in the meantime. However, this deal has issues. Congress banned Russian energy imports in 2022, and Putin hasn't agreed to end hostilities or withdraw forces as required. Moreover, Trump's sanctions on Russia's biggest trading partners contradict his demands for European allies to stop buying Russian oil. Ukraine, meanwhile, might have an alternative way to hurt Putin – by targeting his digital infrastructure. Between October 8 and 11, Ukrainian drones struck three of Russia's largest data centers, disrupting internet services and causing Yandex's shares to drop more than 8 percent. This could weaken Russia's economy and show Ukraine's value to the U.S.",
