  "account": "On September 8, a Russian drone struck the television channel \"We Are Ukraine\" in Kyiv during a live broadcast of their round-the-clock news program, United News. The attack damaged the building and offices, resulting in injuries to staff members. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the drone strike, describing it as a \"new chapter in Russia's moral decline.\" This marks the second time in recent months that Russian strikes have damaged the channel's facilities; an earlier attack on August 20 caused no injuries. United News began broadcasting on February 24, 2022, shortly after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since then, several Ukrainian television channels have collaborated on the continuous news broadcast.",
