Russia and Ukraine keep fighting despite promised talks

Russian attacks on Ukraine killed one person and wounded several overnight, with strikes continuing despite Moscow's stated willingness to consider negotiations. Kyiv's mayor reported 15 new wounded, including two children, and damage to a bridge and ambulances. Ukraine also launched a large drone attack on Moscow, with over 600 drones reported downed and two injuries. The violence persists as US envoy Steve Witkoff shuttled between Oslo and Moscow, where the Kremlin expressed "in principle" readiness for talks, though a spokesman downplayed the proposals' value. Norwegian Prime Minister Støre hopes for trilateral US-Ukraine-Russia talks by mid-November, which would be the first since early-year meetings that only yielded a prisoner exchange. President Trump, increasingly critical of Zelensky, said he wants a deal, while reducing aid to Ukraine.
