  "account": "Russia resumed its air attacks on Kyiv early Tuesday, just after a brief pause for the visit of US peace negotiators, killing two people and igniting fires across the Ukrainian capital. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that ten more individuals had been injured, while debris falling from damaged structures sparked fires in a five-story apartment building and a three-story residential block. The assault inflicted damage on at least 14 high-rise buildings, a dormitory, a school, a clinic, warehouses, and other locations, according to officials. This attack came after US peace envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff departed Kyiv following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Sunday. The resumption of the attacks marked a shift from the Kremlin's previous strategy of primarily targeting Kyiv at night to a more continuous daytime assault using faster jet-propelled drones. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu stated that Moscow had targeted military and logistical facilities in Kyiv and its surrounding areas, as well as the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk.",
