  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed to partner nations that they ensure a deal with Russia to cease attacks on Ukraine's critical infrastructure, such as electricity, energy facilities, and food transit. Zelenskyy suggested that if partners commit to ensuring Russia's pledge to refrain from hitting Ukraine's vital infrastructure, Ukraine would halt its retaliatory strikes. However, Zelenskyy cautioned that Ukraine is doubtful about Russia's intentions to honor any agreement. The president stressed that food, energy, and other basic life necessities are under threat, as Russian strikes primarily target these areas. Zelenskyy emphasized that ending the war and implementing de-escalation measures concerning critical infrastructure could serve as a starting point for peace. Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump announced a mutual agreement between Ukraine and Russia to desist from strikes on energy sector facilities, attributing the surge in global diesel fuel prices to the ongoing conflict between the two nations.",
