  "account": "Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha urged allies to release stockpiled interceptor missiles to defend Ukraine's skies, stating that every decision delayed by Kyiv's allies is measured in lives. Sybiha criticized Russia's massive overnight strike on Kyiv, emphasizing that Putin's ballistic missiles speak louder than his diplomatic words. He condemned the relentless strikes on residential buildings as senseless terror, noting that every delay in providing interceptor missiles to Ukraine is a loss of lives. Sybiha stressed that every interceptor missile provided now saves a life and urged other countries to follow Germany's example in shutting down Russian influence networks in Europe. He called on allies to increase pressure on Russia, asserting that stronger pressure brings peace closer. Overnight into September 8, Russian forces attacked Kyiv with ballistic and cruise missiles, resulting in at least two deaths and ten injuries in various districts. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas had previously reported that some countries hold Patriot interceptor missiles nearing expiration, with Greece and Spain reportedly holding stockpiles of PAC-2 missiles.",
