  "account": "The Ice Hockey Federation of Ukraine has reported that the ice arena on General Shaalett Street in Kyiv's Dniprovsky district suffered damage from a Russian missile attack during the night. The blast caused extensive destruction to the outer wall, interior walls, suspended ceilings, and various interior elements including locker rooms, doors, and windows. This arena serves as the home venue for the Kryzhynka children's and youth sports school, hosting competitions for multiple age groups, the Ukrainian adult Championship, and amateur leagues. Consequently, the Federation called for a ban on Russian athletes participating in international competitions, reiterating that \"terrorist countries have no place in international sports, neither under their own flag nor under any neutral status.\"",
