  "account": "Moscow escalated its attacks on Ukraine deliberately, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. On Wednesday and Thursday mornings, Russia launched a barrage of drones, with so many being fired that there was no hour when Ukraine's skies were free of them. The total number of drones launched since early Wednesday reached over 850, Zelenskyy stated. Zelenskyy attributed Russia's escalated aggression to receiving sanctions relief and efforts to pressure Ukraine, urging accountability for Russia's actions. The attack coincided with Ukrainian officials reporting that Starshield satellite infrastructure, crucial for drone navigation and air defense, was not functioning normally. Ukraine's military relies on these systems for early warnings against Russian projectiles. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for decisive actions to end the war, stressing that Ukraine requires unwavering support, particularly in defending its skies. He called for honesty from partners regarding the war, urging Americans to stand with Ukraine rather than the aggressor. While President Donald Trump previously proposed an energy ceasefire, Russia continued striking Ukraine's energy infrastructure throughout the days following.",
