  "account": "U.S. President Donald Trump stated on October 13 that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is more inclined to reach a ceasefire deal than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. During a press availability on October 12, Trump responded to questions from reporters, including one about making Putin comply with a ceasefire while Russia continued attacking Ukraine. Trump claimed that both sides had agreed to a ceasefire, stating, \"They agreed. You know why? Because I said they agreed.\" However, Kyiv officially denied that a formal agreement had been reached to halt strikes on energy infrastructure and requested details from Washington. On October 11, Trump announced a diesel fuel agreement with Putin following a phone call, and later claimed that an energy ceasefire had begun between Ukraine and Russia. Nonetheless, Russian forces attacked Ukrainian energy facilities, resulting in casualties and injuries.",
