  "account": "Kyiv, November 3 - A deadly strike on a school delivering humanitarian aid in Ukraine resulted in at least 26 casualties, according to Ukrainian officials. The attack marred tentative progress towards peace following the expiration of a ceasefire, which Russia violated shortly after its commencement. The ongoing conflict, now in its fifth year, has seen more than 400,000 deaths and millions displaced since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. After a week-long ceasefire brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump, Russia resumed its attacks on the southern Kherson region. Acting regional governor Mykhailo Semikin confirmed the civilian deaths, citing the victims as rescue workers and police officers who were on duty at the time. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman defended the truce, claiming the Ukrainian military used pauses to regroup and fortify its positions, though no evidence was provided to support this claim. Despite the setbacks, US-led talks between Russia and Ukraine are scheduled to resume next week, as the two nations continue to grapple with the ongoing conflict.",
