  "account": "Russian airstrikes targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure continue unabated, despite US President Donald Trump's announcement of a purported energy ceasefire, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky accused Russia of showing no interest in such a ceasefire and of continuing its \"terrorist air attacks\" against Ukrainian people and communities. The US president's announcement came amid high energy prices and ahead of the US midterm elections, causing skepticism among Ukraine's European allies who approved the largest set of sanctions since Russia's 2022 invasion. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated that Moscow would return diesel exports to pre-Trump levels. Trump defended the deal, arguing that it aimed to draw Russia back to talks on ending the war. EU foreign ministers added 1,569 names to their sanctions list, reflecting ongoing pressure on Russia. Zelensky proposed holding elections if Moscow agreed to a full 60-day ceasefire, but Russia rejected this proposal. The latest Russian strike campaign on Ukraine's power grid has caused daily power cuts, affecting the capital's water and sewage systems and halting its underground trains.",
