Zaporizhzhia school strike death toll rises to 43; Zelensky floats online elections

The death toll from a Russian attack on a former school in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, has risen to 43, with over 30 people still missing, as Moscow reports advances in the Donetsk region. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated he might consider online elections, citing the need to allow soldiers to vote during wartime. The attack on the school, which was used as a shelter, occurred on November 2, and rescue efforts are ongoing. Diplomatic efforts continue, with trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the US scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi. The Economist reports Ukraine faces a demographic collapse, with its population dropping from 37 million to 27-28 million since 2022.
