  "account": "President Emmanuel Macron has pledged that France will supply interceptor missiles to Ukraine, where air defenses are severely depleted following recent Russian assaults. Macron conveyed this enhanced support to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a recent telephone conversation. In June, France had authorized Ukraine to manufacture French-designed cruise missiles, glide bombs, and air defense interceptors, marking the inaugural instance of France granting such a license to a foreign nation. In July, France further committed to providing additional defensive and missile systems. The recent Russian air strikes resulted in at least two fatalities in Ukraine, according to local authorities, following a previous deadly attack on a crowded shopping center. Kyiv's City Military Administration reported a warehouse fire in the Darnytskyi district after receiving an alert for a ballistic missile. Preliminary reports indicate one death and several injuries, shared via Telegram.",
  "summary": "Russian strikes on Ukraine killed at least two people this morning, local authorities said, a day after a deadly attack on a busy shopping centre.",
