  "account": "Ukraine's Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna, Yurii Vitrenko, addressed the OSCE Permanent Council, asserting that Russia's leadership operates in a \"parallel reality\" regarding its battlefield gains. He highlighted Russia's attempts to claim larger territorial control than they actually possess, a claim easily disproven with modern intelligence capabilities. Vitrenko emphasized that Ukraine's Defense Forces have not only stabilized the situation but have also executed successful counteroffensive operations. Ukrainian missiles and drones continue to target military sites, including deep within Russian territory, while the ongoing war continues to severely impact Russia's economy and human resources.\n\nVitrenko noted that Russia demands recognition of their \"realities on the ground\" as a condition for a peaceful settlement, but must first acknowledge the current situation. He pointed out the high level of Russian military losses, the lack of territorial advances by Russian troops, and the ineffectiveness of Russia's terror tactics against civilians and the use of freezing temperatures as a weapon. Vitrenko called for a full and comprehensive ceasefire in Abu Dhabi, while stressing that Russia will not cease its aggression simply due to goodwill or appeals. He stressed that decisive international action and sustained support for Ukraine are necessary to make progress towards peace.",
