  "account": "US President Donald Trump has stated that he will not pressure Russia over the Ukraine conflict despite criticism, and instead believes Ukraine is under obligation. Trump expressed skepticism that Russia has violated a ceasefire he announced, citing instances of violations on both sides. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on the US to take concrete steps to get Russia to adhere to the ceasefire, which was quickly followed by a Russian attack on a power plant in Kharkiv. Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine would abide by a stop on attacks on energy facilities if Russia respected it, and noted that Ukraine had refrained from attacking Russian oil refineries the previous night. Trump's announcement of a deal to import hundreds of thousands of tons of Russian diesel has drawn criticism from US senators and European allies.",
  "summary": "The Ukrainian head of state is calling on the US President to increase pressure on Russia - but he doesn't seem to see any need for action in this regard. Quite the opposite.",
