  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pledged to persist in targeting Russian oil refineries, unless Moscow stops its assaults on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, according to a recent interview with Fox News. Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine cannot respond passively to Russia's aggression, which includes killing Ukrainian citizens and targeting its electricity, gas refineries, and other critical assets. He clarified that Ukraine would refrain from striking Russian refineries if Russia were to cease its attacks on Ukrainian energy systems. Zelenskyy disclosed that diplomatic discussions on this topic have taken place between Ukraine and the United States, specifically with former President Donald Trump. In addition to the strikes, Zelenskyy suggested an alternative solution—providing Ukraine with Patriot missiles to fortify its energy infrastructure, expressing Ukraine's readiness to fund these defenses independently.",
  "summary": "Ukraine will continue launching strikes on Russian oil refineries unless the Russian Federation ceases its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated in an interview with Fox News.",
