Civilian victims of russian strikes on 8–9 November and the night of 10 November, as reported by the authorities. The data are incomplete and may rise; the reports cover different periods and partly overlap, so they have not been added up:

unverifiedOdesa, 9 November. According to headlines in Ukrainska Pravda, Slovo i Dilo, Glavred and Odesa-Life, a russian drone (jet-powered, according to Mi.ua) hit a food warehouse storing supplies for schools and kindergartens: three killed and three injured, one of them seriously. The reports themselves (which official gave the figures, and when) were not read, so the details are marked unconfirmed; there are no final data on children.

☢️IAEA. Director General Rafael Grossi (on X, via Kyiv Independent, 9.11) “strongly condemned the deadly attacks”: a drone killed a worker at the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and a separate drone killed a worker at the neighbouring Zaporizhzhia thermal power plant. The IAEA did not say whose drones they were. On 8.11 the nuclear plant spent about 10 hours without its only external 330 kV line and ran on diesel generators; Ukraine’s nuclear operator Energoatom called it the 28th blackout since the invasion began (Suspilne, 11:34 8.11).

📊Black Bird Group. The Finnish analyst Emil Kastehelmi (via Kyiv Independent, 9.11) judged that Ukraine has adapted “very well” to russia’s patrol-and-infiltration tactics; these tactics will grow costlier, and without mobilisation russia’s losses could become unacceptable. This is an analyst’s assessment, made against Ukraine’s General Staff’s claims of record daily losses (2,980 on 8–9.11) and of October as russia’s worst month; those figures are Ukrainian and not independently verified.

⛽russia’s fuel market. According to Kommersant and Current Time (via Kyiv Independent, 9.11), the state oil company Rosneft has introduced fuel sales limits in several regions: in Krasnoyarsk Krai, up to 30 litres of AI-95 petrol, 50 litres of AI-92 and 100 litres of diesel, with filling jerrycans banned; similar restrictions apply in Karelia, Buryatia, Zabaikalsky Krai and the Novosibirsk region. This follows Ukraine’s strikes on oil refineries.

Europe will be represented, according to Meduza, by the national security advisers of Germany, France and the UK and by EU and NATO officials, but the format of their participation is “unclear” (Kyiv Independent): it may be briefings before and after the three-way meeting. Umerov confirmed the Europeans will be in Abu Dhabi and that Ukraine will hold separate coordination meetings with them. No outcome as of the morning.

Europe. Ursula von der Leyen (9.11): “The EU will be present together with partners.” G7 foreign ministers began a two-day meeting in Paris (air defence, funding, protecting energy infrastructure). The EU will launch an emergency mechanism to support Ukraine’s energy, water supply and heating, and russian assets frozen in the EU will stay frozen until reparations are paid (Ukrinform, “Battle for Ukraine”, day 1719). German Chancellor Merz (Kyiv Independent, 10.11) complains of an uneven sharing of the burden and urges the EU to prioritise a new loan to Ukraine. Italy’s prime minister Giorgia Meloni criticised the number of meetings and envoys; the issue is on the agenda of the EU summit in Ireland on 13.11.

🕊️ Ukraine and russia. In a “60 Minutes” interview (as reported by the Kyiv Independent, 9.11), Trump said that after the war Ukraine will have “a little bit different shape”, that “we’re very close to making a deal”, that the war will end “only because of me”, and that the biggest obstacle has been the “hatred between Zelensky and Putin”. He said he does not believe Putin is “stringing” him along, and on the diesel waiver: “I didn’t lift diesel sanctions.” The interview came after the Republican Party’s defeat in the US midterm elections. This is the Kyiv Independent’s account; the full recording was not checked.

🛢️ Iran. At an unscheduled White House briefing on 9.11, after a closed meeting with Vice-President Vance and Qatar’s prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Trump said “Iran militarily is effectively over”, that the US is “locked and loaded” and that the conflict will end “pretty soon” (Al Jazeera). He called the current state of affairs a “status quo” requested by Iran’s neighbours and “a continuation of the biggest naval blockade”. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, called Trump’s words fake; President Pezeshkian said Iran is open to talks but will not capitulate. According to an Axios headline, Trump also considers new strikes on Iran “quite unlikely” (article not read).

Iran militarily is effectively over

🛰️Starlink. In the same “60 Minutes” interview (as reported by the Kyiv Independent, 9.11), asked about the Starlink speed restrictions, Trump said “It wasn’t me” and added that Elon Musk “ultimately turned it back up”. Context: in October, unexpected Starlink restrictions disrupted Ukrainian military operations.

It wasn't me

Secretary of State Marco Rubio (to reporters, 9.11): “I don’t think we’ve settled on a final concrete plan on that” — on security guarantees for Ukraine; the guarantees must also be acceptable to russia (“it has to be something that russia agrees to as well”). He did not rule out enshrining the guarantees in a treaty, but noted how hard Senate ratification would be, and said the US is not a party to the conflict. According to Meduza, Rubio added that “there are no final decisions”, but some progress is possible.

all we can do is serve as a facilitator of the talks

China’s deputy UN ambassador Sun Lei (UN Security Council, 9.11) urged the parties to “put human lives first”, welcomed the prisoner exchanges, said a “legally binding” peace treaty and the removal of the conflict’s root causes are needed, and recalled Xi Jinping’s “four points” and Beijing’s “shuttle diplomacy”. No new statements by China’s foreign ministry in the past 24 hours were found.

🗣️Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov (to reporters, 9.11, Interfax, 12:28 Moscow time) said the Abu Dhabi talks are three-way (russia, Ukraine and the US as mediator), and that the Europeans, Americans and Ukrainians have “their own channels of communication”. Context: Europe has said it will be present alongside the talks; the format of the Europeans’ participation has not been specified (Kyiv Independent).

🗣️Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov (press conference, 9.11, Interfax, 14:45 Moscow time) said the first item on the Abu Dhabi agenda will be the security of russia, Ukraine and the region, and that moscow “can only welcome” this approach; he credited the American negotiators with the idea of focusing on collective security. Context: “russia’s security” as Lavrov puts it is not the same as the security guarantees for Ukraine that Rubio talks about.

🗣️unverifiedPeskov (9.11, Lenta.ru, 12:50 Moscow time), responding to the “American president’s” words that Ukraine will be “a little different” after a settlement, said: “As for Ukraine’s shape, in terms of geography it is already a different country”; he referred the question of what changes to expect to the White House. Lenta does not name Trump or “60 Minutes” — the link to his interview is an assumption.

🗣️unverifiedPutin told the leaders of Finland and Norway that russia will not give up its aim of taking the whole of the Donbas, according to Reuters citing a source close to the Kremlin (as relayed by Meduza, 9.11).
