  "account": "Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, Chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on Security and Defence, spoke with Ukrinform correspondent during the Berlin Security Conference about the impact of the US midterm elections on support for Ukraine. While Democrats’ victory may lead to a weakened US stance, Strack-Zimmermann emphasized that Europe must strengthen its defense capabilities and continue supporting Ukraine, which is becoming a key partner in European security and the defense industry. She noted that Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO could provide additional benefits and strategic advantages for Europe. Strack-Zimmermann also supported unlocking frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine's reconstruction and urged Europe to take the lead in providing long-term assistance to the country.",
