  "account": "Veteran Yevhen Dykyi warns against agreeing to U.S. President Donald Trump's demands to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries, no matter what. Dykyi, a former company commander in the Aidar Battalion, cautioned that Trump may pressure Ukraine to stop hitting Russian oil refineries during their meeting in New York. He believes Trump will use the situation in Iran as an excuse to shift blame for rising oil and fuel prices onto Ukraine. Dykyi urged Ukraine not to rely on the outcome of the meeting, instead, to continue fighting with courage and set the right information space. He stressed that Ukraine should never agree to stop striking Russian hydrocarbons, as this is the key to their victory. Meanwhile, Ukraine intensified its strikes on Russia's energy sector, targeting the Moscow oil refinery which halted operations as a result. Trump had previously asked Zelenskyy to stop such attacks, citing the global fuel market situation. Zelenskyy, in turn, offered to cease strikes on Russian refineries if Russia halted its attacks on Ukraine's critical infrastructure, food exports, and energy sector.",
  "summary": "Ukraine must never, under any circumstances, agree to the demand from U.S. President Donald Trump to stop striking Russian oil refineries, Yevhen Dykyi, a veteran of the Russo-Ukrainian war and former company commander in the Aidar Battalion, said in an interview with Radio NV on Sept. 22.",
