Russia and Ukraine exchanged overnight attacks, with seven killed in Ukraine, following US envoy Steve Witkoff's talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saint Petersburg. Moscow reported 630 drones launched toward Russia, with 163 approaching the capital. The Kremlin said it was "in principle" open to resuming trilateral talks with Ukraine and the United States, possibly in mid-November. Ukrainian authorities reported deaths in Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk, while Kyiv's mayor said 15 were wounded and metro infrastructure was damaged. Witkoff's visit followed a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Oslo, aimed at easing tensions between Trump and Zelensky. A summit involving Putin, Trump, and China's Xi Jinping was being prepared in Shenzhen, and Trump delayed sanctions on Russia, citing the release of US citizen Stephen Hubbard.
