  "account": "Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has forcefully rebutted U.S. President Donald Trump's assertion that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy bears responsibility for the nation's destruction and the suffering of its people. Sikorski, speaking to the social media platform X, expressed gratitude to Trump for his concern over the war's victims but contended that the Ukrainians were harmed by \"drones, bombs and missiles launched by Vladimir Putin.\"\n\nEarlier this week, Trump made controversial remarks in an interview with Newsmax, blaming Zelenskyy for the injuries and fatalities among Ukrainian soldiers. According to Sikorski, his country witnessed an interview with a young Ukrainian woman who recounted Zelenskyy's accusations of having \"destroyed our country\" and taken \"our men away from us.\" Many of these men, she said, now reside in mental institutions or face grave physical injuries. Trump's claims have been firmly dismissed by Sikorski, who insists that the Ukrainian nation is facing attacks from Russia, not the other way around.",
  "summary": "Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorskiy has sharply responded to statements by U.S President Donald Trump, who earlier in an interview with Newsmax alleged that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is responsible for the destruction of the country and the trauma of Ukrainians.",
