  "account": "Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Volodymyr Ohryzko has cautioned that U.S. diplomacy in the Russo-Ukrainian war is favoring Moscow. Ohryzko criticized recent U.S. proposals to redraw the boundaries of Donetsk Oblast or restore the Russia-NATO Council as absurd, questioning why European countries would agree to such terms. He pointed out that Russia has not withdrawn from Ukraine or stopped the atrocities classified as genocide by international commissions. Ohryzko dismissed the U.S. mediators as being on Russia's side, dismissing their attempt to establish new administrative boundaries for Donetsk Oblast as an effort to help Putin claim victory. He also criticized the evacuation of civilians from Oleshky, stating that it created significant challenges for Ukraine's defense forces. Ohryzko accused Trump of making false claims about Russia's actions in Ukraine and questioned whose interests Melania Trump was truly protecting.",
