Russia and Ukraine Trade Attacks Following US Envoy Visit

Russia launched 630 drones and Ukraine warned of more ballistic missiles as Washington pressed talks on ending the war.

  • On Thursday, Russia and Ukraine traded major attacks overnight, with Moscow's mayor reporting 630 drones launched toward the region shortly after US envoy Steve Witkoff met Vladimir Putin in Saint Petersburg.
  • Witkoff had flown to Russia from Oslo on Tuesday after meeting President Volodymyr Zelensky, aiming to bridge a bitter rift between the Ukrainian leader and President Donald Trump over peace negotiations.
  • Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko reported 15 people wounded in the Ukrainian capital, while Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said 163 of the 630 drones approached Moscow, with two people wounded in the region.
  • Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters Russia was "in principle, ready to resume" trilateral talks in mid-November, though he warned there was little "substance" in the peace proposals Witkoff had delivered.
  • President Donald Trump defended delaying sanctions on Russia as necessary to secure the release of US citizen Stephen Hubbard, calling Witkoff's progress "the closest we've been" to ending the war.
