Zelenskyy says Ukraine war likely to continue into winter

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the war with Russia appears likely to continue into winter, following talks with US envoys in Kyiv that produced no announced breakthrough. Zelenskyy said Ukraine is counting on European support if fighting persists, and argued that difficult territorial issues require a leaders' meeting. The US envoys had met Russian President Vladimir Putin, who announced a three-day pause in attacks on Kyiv during their visit. Russian officials reported two people killed in Ukrainian drone attacks in the Perm and Belgorod regions. Separately, the UN human rights chief urged a ban on fully autonomous weapons, citing reports of a Russian AI-guided drone killing three people in Ukraine.
