  "account": "European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has affirmed that the European Union endorses U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed energy ceasefire, however, she highlighted that Russia is not complying with it. During a joint press conference on Friday in Brussels, alongside European Council President Antonio Costa and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, von der Leyen spoke about the ongoing preparations for the 22nd package of sanctions at a European Council meeting. She emphasized that Russia's failure to honor the truce led to an escalation, necessitating intensified pressure on the nation. The European Commission leader stated that work is currently underway to finalize the sanction package. Von der Leyen made it clear that sanctions will not be lifted unless Russia ceases its military actions in Ukraine. Additionally, she indicated that discussions will encompass Ukraine's financial and budgetary requirements for both 2026 and 2027.",
