  "account": "A Russian fuel tanker, carrying approximately 140,000 tons of diesel, is on its way to the Port of New York, according to the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America. The committee has launched an urgent campaign, urging residents and officials in the state to prevent the ship from docking. The shipment is the first result of a US decision to allow Russian diesel into the American market, a move that Ukrainians argue funds Russia's war efforts. This action, combined with restrictions on Ukraine's use of Starlink internet service, has sparked protests across US and European cities. The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America is calling on Governor Kathy Hochul and state representatives to take all necessary measures to ensure the ship does not enter the port. They argue that buying Russian energy goes against principles of international security, as every dollar spent on Russian fuel translates to weapons used to destroy Ukrainian cities and kill people. Demonstrations have taken place in various cities, including Chicago, Houston, Boston, London, and Rome, with Ukrainians denouncing the \"diesel deal on blood\" and the satellite communication restrictions on Ukraine's military. The committee's president, Mykhailo Savkiv, emphasized that the group works with both Republicans and Democrats in Congress to advocate against the deal.",
