Russia intensifies airstrikes in Ukraine before scheduled peace negotiations

Russia has launched new airstrikes across Ukraine, resulting in at least 47 reported deaths in Zaporizhzhia and an aid center. These attacks, condemned by President Zelenskyy, precede US-mediated Russia-Ukraine peace talks set for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi. The intensified military action just days before diplomatic discussions highlights the complex and volatile nature of the conflict, as the US also seeks increased NATO funding for Ukrainian weapons.
