  "account": "On day 1702 of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Ukraine stated that Poland has halted a military aid package due to Lviv's recent vote honoring WWII nationalists. Ukraine previously pledged to sell surplus weapons abroad, but industry questions remain about the potential gains and the Berlin office's involvement. Starlink played a crucial role in the success of Operation Vivaldi, but Russia could leverage it to regain lost ground. Ukraine's new jet drone, Bars, boasts a 30% hit rate against Russia's Shahed jet drones, though small jet engines may be scarce. In Łasków, Ukraine discovered remains of over 40 Ukrainians killed by Polish WWII units, addressing a longstanding issue in their relationship. Ukraine has advanced more than 15 km underground to target Russia, capturing more than 30 Russian soldiers and causing losses of over 100. Russian forces are regaining momentum in the south with mechanized assaults, while Ukraine's Navy successfully shot down a Russian Shahed drone. The Filin missile, Russia's latest weapon, is a product of collaboration between Russia, Denmark, and China. Meanwhile, NATO opens a dedicated channel for Ukraine to purchase weapons through its contracts, potentially streamlining the acquisition process. Zelenskyy outlined three postwar security guarantees for Ukraine, including NATO membership, direct US guarantees, and a European Coalition of the Willing. Despite US officials cutting Kyiv off from intelligence and lowering Starlink speeds, Zelenskyy accused Trump of misrepresenting the situation. In Kyiv, 85 European-funded buses were deployed to restore transportation services, but one incident resulted in the destruction of 13 homes in a Kyiv district due to Russian missile and drone attacks.",
