  "account": "In Ukraine, President Volodymyr Selenskyj reported at least three deaths and more than 20 injuries following Russian airstrikes. In the southern industrial city of Kryvyi Rih, two people died and 14 were injured in a ballistic missile attack. One person was killed in Sumy, in the northeast of the country. Six people were injured in the capital, Kyiv, and surrounding areas due to Russian attacks. Selenskyj stated that rescue services are on the ground after morning and night Russian strikes. Kyiv's fire department quickly extinguished a fire at a book market. Selenskyj warned of another wave of attacks and called for more anti-aircraft missiles from the West, as Russia launched over 1,550 drones, almost 1,560 bombs, and 62 missiles and cruise missiles on Ukraine this week. He accused Russia of using North Korean-supplied rockets and demanded that European interception missiles not remain in storage while they destroy Ukrainian infrastructure and claim lives. The Ukrainian president accused Russia of escalating the violence, with both sides using faster and more wide-reaching weapons, resulting in increasing civilian casualties. Russian authorities reported casualties and significant infrastructure damage in the Moscow area following massive drone attacks.",
