  "account": "On the seventh day of Russian drone strikes on Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital suffered significant damage and casualties. Nine people were injured, and residential and university buildings were struck in central Kyiv on Wednesday morning. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy confirmed that the attack on a downtown university forced around 160 students to take shelter. The ongoing campaign of near-constant strikes has left Kyiv struggling to maintain normal life, with Parliament sessions temporarily moved underground and the Soviet-era metro system suspended during air-raid alerts. Earlier, Russian missiles and drones targeted power facilities in the southern Odesa region, leaving over 350,000 homes without electricity. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the new campaign of massive strikes, criticizing the world's response to the escalation. Two people were killed and eight wounded in strikes on the southeastern city of Dnipro, where food warehouses and educational buildings were damaged. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko appealed to the government to ease wartime curfew and traffic restrictions during alerts, as the city's defense council sought a solution to the increasingly disruptive attacks.",
