Poltava strike causes power and water outages as talks begin in Abu Dhabi

On Tuesday, November 10, day 1721 of the war, a Russian strike in Poltava caused partial power and water outages in some districts, following an explosion and a reported drone attack. In Pereiaslav, a communal building housing people needing social support was damaged, leaving two injured. Tripartite talks between Ukraine, the US, and Russia are set to begin in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11. The first session will focus on ceasefire control mechanisms and post-conflict security, with the second addressing territorial issues, according to an anonymous US official. The US will be represented by General Alexus Grynkewich in the discussions. No major global decisions are expected from this round, though progress on prisoner exchanges and frameworks for a truce is possible.
