  "account": "Cyber attacks struck Russia and Ukraine just after their longest cease-fire ended, fueling suspicion and accusations between the two nations. Moscow's emergencies ministry reported hackers hijacked the emergency warnings app, causing it to disseminate false information about incoming threats. Ukraine's air raid alert system had been compromised hours prior, as baseless alerts of a radiation threat appeared on the app. This cyber warfare unfolded as the cease-fire expired on Sunday, following Russia's refusal to extend the rare truce. Ukraine's Center for Strategic Communications SPRAVDI blamed the hack on Russia, while Moscow has yet to disclose the culprit. The cease-fire, brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump, provided a brief respite from hostilities, allowing a humanitarian mission to reach the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed stopping attacks on Russian oil refineries in exchange for powerful Patriot interceptor missiles, should US President Donald Trump provide them. Kherson regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin urged residents to stay vigilant upon the cease-fire's expiration, warning of imminent Russian attacks. Despite the temporary lull, both sides have continued exchanging strikes elsewhere. Russian forces capitalized on the calm to bolster their ranks, stockpile ammunition, and gather intelligence using surveillance drones. Concerns rise that renewed hostilities will be more intense upon their resumption.",
