  "account": "Kyiv has once again become a target of Russian aggression following a brief ceasefire. According to Ukraine's emergency service, Russian forces resumed their attacks on the Ukrainian capital on Monday, three days after a temporary cessation of hostilities was put into effect for a visit by US envoys. During this period, Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously authorized a halt in strikes on Kyiv as part of the negotiations. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported that Russian drones targeted the Boryspil and Fastiv districts, prompting Kyiv's military administration to declare an air raid alert for the city. Ukrainian residents were advised to seek refuge as a result. Russian state news agency TASS confirmed the cessation of strikes had ended. US envoy Steve Witkoff mentioned potential progress in discussions with Ukraine and Russia, suggesting a possible revival of three-way peace talks to bring an end to the conflict.",
  "summary": "Moscow halted strikes on Kyiv for three days as US President Donald Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited the Russian and Ukrainian capitals over the weekend.",
