  "account": "US President Donald Trump has been criticized by both Democratic and Republican lawmakers for suspending new sanctions against Russia. Republican Senator Thom Tillis and Representative Don Bacon expressed their disapproval, stating that Trump's move would prolong the conflict in Ukraine and benefit Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy mentioned that a trilateral meeting between Ukraine, the US, and Russia could take place at the G20 summit in December in the US, or possibly in a Middle Eastern or European country. Meanwhile, German Development Minister Reem Alabali Radovan called for an exception to the country's debt brake to fund aid to Ukraine, citing concerns that current levels of support are under threat due to budget cuts.",
