  "account": "Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has dismissed hopes that the temporary ceasefire in the occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky will lead to a wider truce between Ukraine and Russia. Yatsenyuk accused Moscow of using the humanitarian operation to win favor with the United States. He stated unequivocally that no ceasefire would be reached and that Russia would not agree to a ceasefire. The former prime minister expressed skepticism about the intentions behind the ceasefire, warning that it could be exploited for propaganda purposes by Russia. He also called on American journalists to report independently and not to amplify Russian propaganda. Yatsenyuk warned against excluding European countries from negotiations over Ukraine's future, accusing Moscow of trying to marginalize the European Union. He dismissed recent diplomatic efforts by European leaders to engage directly with Putin, arguing that Russia would interpret such initiatives as a sign of European weakness and division.",
  "summary": "The first humanitarian operation in years in Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky offers a fragile glimmer of hope for civilians trapped by war, but raises grave concerns over Moscow's true intentions and the fate of those seeking evacuation to Ukrainian-controlled territory.",
