  "account": "Russian President Vladimir Putin has firmly rejected the idea of a ceasefire on long-range strikes with Ukraine, as Moscow intensifies its aerial attacks on the capital, Kyiv. The Ukrainian government claims that Russia is deliberately targeting civilian areas, leaving Kyiv in a constant state of alert as it prepares for a challenging winter. In retaliation, Ukraine has launched attacks on Russian refineries, oil and fuel depots, and exporting facilities in an attempt to diminish Russia's energy income. Putin dismissed the proposal as \"ridiculous\" during a press conference on Thursday. He explained that Russia had lost about one percent of its GDP due to Ukrainian strikes on refineries, which led to nationwide fuel shortages this summer. Russian strikes have also targeted Ukraine's steel companies, rail sector, and major warehouses, significantly disrupting grain exports through the Black Sea - a vital source of revenue for Kyiv.",
