  "account": "The relationship between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj has been highly unpredictable. Trump's comments about Selenskyj often reflect the state of peace negotiations, with Trump praising Selenskyj when he appears open to compromise and criticizing him when he defends Ukraine's interests. The relationship has now reached a new low, prompting concern among Europeans ahead of Selenskyj's visit to the EU summit on Friday. There are concerns that Trump may be abandoning support for Ukraine and siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Several indicators suggest that Trump's negative stance towards Ukraine may be deliberate rather than mercurial.",
  "summary": "While the US President is courting Kremlin chief Putin, he is boycotting Selenskyj. Trump's attitude is not only irritating to Europeans, but also increasingly to Republicans.",
