  "account": "US President Donald Trump stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin is more eager than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to reach a deal and end the Russia-Ukraine war, while acknowledging that both leaders must collaborate to terminate the conflict. Trump expressed skepticism about reports suggesting Russian violations of the proposed energy ceasefire and stated that both sides have suffered significant casualties, with 32,000 people killed in the war this month. When confronted with conflicting reports of Russian strikes, Trump asserted that both sides had violated the ceasefire. Despite the lack of a formal agreement, Trump maintained that both leaders desired a deal, although he was unaware of the process to achieve it. Trump defended his decision to allow Russian diesel supplies, arguing that it would benefit the global market, and emphasized that the United States should focus on supporting domestic industries. Zelenskyy alleged that Russia continued to strike Ukrainian energy infrastructure despite the ceasefire, asserting that Russia must face increased pressure for its ongoing attacks.",
