  "account": "On August 23, Russian forces targeted a factory of U.S. multinational food company Mondelez International in the Sumy Oblast, according to Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha. The facility, situated in the city of Trostianets, suffered damage from two Russian drones, resulting in injuries to several employees, though there were no fatalities reported. Sybiha highlighted the incident as part of a series of Russian strikes on business establishments in Ukraine, deeming them as a direct threat to American economic interests in Europe. He emphasized the need for enhanced military support for Ukraine, specifically advocating for more air defense capabilities. Additionally, Sybiha urged the approval of the Sanctioning Russia Act, as part of the broader strategy to exert economic pressure on Russia to bring an end to the conflict. The city of Sumy, located approximately 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the Russian border, has been subjected to frequent attacks from Russian forces, which include artillery, drone, and guided bomb assaults.",
