Russia Launches Missile Attack on Kyiv Hours After Agreeing to Peace Talks, First Russian Diesel Tanker Heads to US

Russia conducted a "massive 'demonstrative' attack" on Kyiv with ballistic missiles, killing at least two people and wounding 22, just hours after President Vladimir Putin agreed in principle to resume trilateral peace talks with the United States and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi in early November to discuss post-settlement security issues. Concurrently, the first tanker carrying Russian diesel under a deal announced by US President Donald Trump has set sail for New York, a move criticized by Ukraine and its allies for potentially funding Moscow's war efforts.
