  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticized disruptions to the Starshield satellite communication system, stating it only benefits Russia. During a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Dublin, Zelenskyy pointed out that these interruptions hinder the interception of Shahed drones, which Russia is using to its advantage. The Ukrainian leader highlighted the shortage of anti-ballistic systems, which Russia is exploiting to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy alleged that Russia launched 115 missiles, thousands of guided aerial bombs, and Shahed drones at Ukraine in the first week of November alone. He emphasized the need for missile supply for Ukraine's air defense systems during intensified trilateral negotiations. Zelenskyy criticized artificial restrictions, stating they serve the aggressor, not peace. He thanked Rutte for his willingness to assist with PAC-2 and PAC-3 systems.",
