  "summary": "Countries allied with Ukraine are meeting to reaffirm support for Kyiv and discuss ways to pressure Moscow to halt its invasion. The gathering, co-chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron via video link, takes place on Ukraine's independence day.\n\nUkraine has been targeting Russian economic sites with drone attacks. According to Ozon, a Russian e-commerce giant, a major fire was burning at one of its logistics centres in the southern Krasnodar region after a drone attack on Monday. This follows similar attacks on its logistics hubs in the Orenburg and Samara regions on Sunday and the previous day, respectively. Ozon reported that operations at the warehouse in Orenburg are currently suspended, and an unspecified number of workers were wounded in the Samara region attack, as per CBS News.\n\nUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia plans to draft 300,000 more troops into the fight as the invasion continues.",
