  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asserted that Russia bears full responsibility for a Ukrainian school in Kyiv being hit by a Russian UAV during an air raid alert, where children and teachers were taking shelter. In a statement posted on Facebook, Zelenskyy demanded that partners intensify pressure on Russia and provide Ukraine with additional support. He emphasized that Russia's attacks continue to threaten the lives of Ukrainians, including children and schools, and called for responses to these strikes. Zelenskyy expressed confidence that agreements would be reached to address these issues. Rescue workers and necessary services are currently operating at the site where the Russian Shahed drone crashed into the school. Although there were no injuries during the air raid alert, the impact caused a fire on the third floor, partial destruction of a wall, and damage to windows and doors.",
