  "summary": "Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that Russia's elections in temporarily occupied territories are illegal and null and void. They have called on the international community not to recognize these elections and to increase pressure on Russia.\n\nRussian drones have been striking Ukrainian cities, including Zaporizhzhia, with ongoing daily attacks showing no signs of abating. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with US President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly in New York.\n\nThe European Union is working to extend sanctions against Russia, with the bloc's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, urging member states to maintain pressure on Moscow over the war in Ukraine. The EU is also working on a new package of sanctions, although discussions are ongoing.",
