  "account": "Residents of Kirov, a Russian city far removed from Ukraine's frontline, awoke abruptly to a catastrophic explosion. The apartment building shook and windows rattled as a missile tore through a military equipment factory, leaving six dead and 26 injured. This isn't Kyiv or Kherson, but Kirov, a city of historical significance and Russian pride. The strikes have become a harrowing reality for Russians as civilian casualties rise weekly. Kremlin propaganda attempts to normalize this sacrifice, comparing it to the sacrifices made in World War II. However, the scale of death in Russia is unprecedented since the war to end all wars.",
  "summary": "Civilians are being killed every week and the country is getting hardened to the fatalities.",
