  "account": "On October 8, Russian forces attacked two buses in Kramatorsk, killing 33 people. Ukrainian drones struck Russia’s Kaluga region overnight, injuring nine people and causing damage to infrastructure. Yandex confirmed that its data center in Kaluga was targeted by drones, disabling several modules and warning of potential service disruptions. This was the second attack on Yandex’s data centers in two days, with a previous strike in Sasovo, Ryazan region, causing a fire and shutdown. Yandex emphasized the importance of its data centers for daily services and expressed efforts to maintain operations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the attacks, stating that Russia continued to strike Yandex data centers, and the response was ongoing. Russian forces have struck data centers of at least eight companies since late September. The peace process involving Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe will meet in Miami, with Ukrainian delegation members including Kyrylo Budanov, Davyd Arakhamia, and Rustem Umerov. U.S. officials are expected to present new ideas for ending the Russia–Ukraine war. Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted the lack of prospects for a peaceful settlement, describing the war as a strategic stalemate with only two options: negotiation or escalation.",
