  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged the US to impose sanctions on Russia immediately following deadly strikes on Ukrainian territory. Zelensky announced his upcoming meeting with US President Donald Trump in late September, as US-led efforts continue to seek an end to the conflict that has raged for four-and-a-half years. Speaking at the Yalta European Strategy forum, Zelensky questioned the slow pace of decision-making, emphasizing the need for swift action. He also called for a truce with Russia, specifically requesting that Moscow refrain from targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure during the winter months. Zelensky warned that should Russia attack Ukraine's energy grid, Ukraine is prepared to retaliate. Both nations have increased their use of long-range strikes against one another in recent months, while ongoing US-led talks aimed at ending Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II remain stalled. A recent Russian drone strike on a petrol station in Kyiv resulted in two deaths and four injuries, according to the city mayor.",
