Russian President Vladimir Putin said he is ready to resume trilateral peace talks with the U.S. and Ukraine in mid-November, as Trump's envoy meets with him in St. Petersburg. A drone attack on Kyiv killed at least two people, raising concerns about ongoing conflict.

Putin and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff discussed a framework for trilateral talks during their meeting on Oct. 21. Zelenskyy and European allies supported the talks, while Trump's administration has faced bipartisan criticism for its pro-Putin agenda. A drone strike on Kyiv's Sviatoshynskyi District caused significant damage and injuries.

Kyiv officials report ongoing issues with U.S. support, including delays in Patriot interceptors and disruptions to Starlink services. Congress is pushing back against Trump's policies, with lawmakers seeking to force him to reverse his pro-Putin stance. The situation highlights tensions between U.S. and Russian interests in the Ukraine conflict.
