  "account": "Ukraine has regained access to US satellite internet systems Starlink and Starshield, which are crucial for its defense against Russia's invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the systems are now functioning at the required speed, which is essential for frontline logistics and protection against missile attacks. This comes after US tech billionaire Elon Musk accused Ukraine of misusing Starlink for offensive operations, a claim denied by Zelenskyy's advisor Serhiy Beskrestnow. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy has urged for the delivery of promised air defense missiles, citing delays in shipments from the US and European partners.",
  "summary": "In the defensive struggle against Russia's war of aggression, Ukraine can once again rely on the US satellite internet Starlink. However, Kyiv is not satisfied with this and is defending itself against accusations.",
