  "account": "Slovakia summoned Russia's ambassador to the country after a Russian missile struck an SBU building near the Slovak Embassy's consular section in Kyiv, according to Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár. The minister announced this on September 5, stating that the consular section had been operating on a limited basis due to security concerns, and no one was inside the building when the attack occurred. Following the incident, Blanár directed the Russian ambassador to Slovakia to be summoned and urged Moscow to cease actions that could endanger civilians. He also called for both sides to avoid further escalation, advocating for a peaceful resolution. The attack, however, was carried out as part of Russia's ongoing full-scale war against Ukraine. Earlier, on September 4, Russian forces targeted a Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) building in central Kyiv. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry labeled the strike as a significant escalation and evidence of Russia's unwillingness to engage in diplomatic discussions. In response, the SBU stated that their retaliation would be harsh.",
