  "account": "Russia and Ukraine have both reported cyberattacks on their emergency warning apps, following the collapse of their longest truce. Russia's emergencies ministry claimed hackers posted false information on the app, which warns of incoming threats like drone attacks. Meanwhile, Ukraine suspected its air raid alert system may have been compromised, as false alerts of a radiation threat appeared on the app. The rare ceasefire, brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump, ended yesterday after Russia refused an extension. It had been in effect since October 27th and allowed a humanitarian mission to a Russian-occupied city. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed stopping attacks on Russian oil refineries if the US provided powerful Patriot interceptor missiles. The cyberattacks coincide with US and Israel launching joint strikes on Iran, and talks between Russia and Ukraine are set to resume this month.",
