  "account": "British and German foreign ministers have called for more sanctions against Russia following President Donald Trump's decision to ease US sanctions on Russian diesel. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated that now is the time to tighten sanctions, not ease them, at an event during the Warsaw Security Forum. The European Union recently added nearly 1,600 new Russian individuals and entities to its sanctions blacklist. UK Foreign Minister Ed Miliband emphasized the need to \"send the right message\" and called for a broader energy ceasefire, not just targeting oil refineries. While criticizing Trump's decision, Ukraine's Western allies have supported his unilateral pause in attacks on the energy sector. Both ministers urged for a full energy ceasefire, which they believe is crucial for Ukraine and the international community.",
  "summary": "Ukraine and its European allies were stunned by US President Donald Trump’s decision last week to lift sanctions on Russian diesel under a deal to supply the US.",
