  "account": "Ukraine is calling on the United States to impose sanctions on suppliers of Russia's Rassvet satellite internet network, as part of the recently enacted Lindsey O. Graham sanctions law, according to a report by the Associated Press on September 30. Denys Sienik, Ukraine's charge d'affaires in Washington, revealed that companies currently developing Rassvet have no sanctions, but those creating the network's components do. Sienik expressed concern that once Russia completes the satellite constellation, Moscow could potentially utilize the network to gather real-time intelligence for strikes against Ukraine.",
