  "account": "US President Donald Trump expressed his disapproval of Ukraine's recent attacks on Russian oil refineries during an interview with broadcaster Newsmax. The 80-year-old leader deemed the action as \"a disgrace\" and attributed the strikes to rising global energy prices. Trump stated that both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky likely desire a swift end to the ongoing war. However, he believed that Zelensky was more challenging to negotiate with compared to Putin. The Ukrainian president met with NATO chief Mark Rutte in Brussels and engaged in numerous bilateral discussions with European leaders while awaiting an EU summit on Friday. Zelensky had previously informed The Financial Times that the cease-fire on energy infrastructure was \"done,\" as Russia was not adhering to the agreement announced by Trump.",
  "summary": "The US president took aim at Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, asserting that he was less willing than Vladimir Putin to reach a compromise to end the war.",
