A new KIIS poll finds 63% of Ukrainians are prepared to endure the war for as long as necessary. Another 5% say one more year, 21% say several months to six months, and 11% are undecided. KIIS says there was no significant change from its October 8-16 survey, despite recent international pressure, Russian attacks and the broader campaign against Ukraine. #Ukraine

❗️Italian PM Giorgia Meloni has reportedly frozen Italy’s 13th military aid package for Ukraine while awaiting the US midterm elections. The package is fully prepared, but no transfer date has been approved. The shipment has already been postponed several times, while Italy’s previous weapons delivery reached Ukraine 10 months ago. The government says support for Ukraine will continue, but has given neither a delivery date nor clear conditions for unblocking the package. #Ukraine

Ukraine’s 26th Artillery Brigade showed the process of replacing the barrel on a Polish Krab self-propelled howitzer. Manufacturers rate the barrel for around 1,500 rounds, while Ukrainian reports say Krab barrels often reach 3,000-4,500+ rounds in combat. Some artillery systems have reportedly reached 6,000-7,000 rounds on one barrel, though accuracy and range fall sharply as wear increases. #Ukraine

Zelensky says Ukraine and Trump agree on the need to end Russia’s war, but differ on the tools needed to achieve it. In an interview with The Sun, he argued that Ukrainians understand Putin and Russian society better than the United States because of their shared Soviet past and long history as neighbors. Zelensky said speaking openly and telling partners the truth is part of Ukraine’s defense strategy. He also argued that Ukraine’s decentralized digital infrastructure has helped it withstand repeated Russian attacks on data centers, while Russian systems are more centralized and therefore more vulnerable to Ukrainian retaliation.

UPDATE on Oleshky: Ukraine’s Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets says the first 30 hours of the ceasefire around Russian-occupied Oleshky passed without a single incident. He said constant communication with Russian Ombudsman Yana Lantratova helped maintain the agreement and thanked Melania Trump for supporting the humanitarian mission. The goal is to deliver aid and create conditions for civilians who need to leave safely. #Ukraine

Ukraine’s HUR says GROUP 10 special forces completed a seven-week operation in Sumy region, clearing more than 600 hectares of forest. The unit says it killed 108 Russian troops, captured 29 and struck over 1,100 enemy targets. HUR says the operation disrupted Russian offensive plans and prevented attempts to cut Ukrainian Defense Forces logistics routes. #Ukraine

Azov’s 1st National Guard Corps says it has struck more than 100 Russian trains carrying out logistics for Russian forces, disabling locomotives, fuel tankers and other equipment. The corps says the attacks targeted key railway stations and supply routes moving fuel toward the front, aiming to disrupt Russian frontline logistics and offensive potential. #Ukraine

❗️The European Commission and European Council are preparing a joint senior-level delegation for the next Ukraine-Russia talks in November, Euronews reports. Bjoern Seibert, Ursula von der Leyen’s chief of cabinet, is expected to lead it. Brussels is openly pushing for a multilateral format bringing Europeans, Ukrainians, Americans and Russians to the same table. #Ukraine

A 90-minute call between Putin, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre has sparked tensions among NATO allies, Bild reports. Denmark said the outreach was not coordinated, while Norway insists allies were informed in advance. Stubb and Støre said they acted for their own countries, not Europe as a whole, and both spoke with Zelensky before and after the call. #Ukraine

Trump says he expects to meet with Putin and Zelensky soon and believes significant progress is being made toward ending the Russia-Ukraine war. He said a meeting will be arranged “very soon” and clarified that it would involve both the Russian and Ukrainian presidents. #Ukraine

❗️Zelensky says there is currently no progress on territorial compromises. US proposals included a buffer or demilitarized zone on both sides of the Donbas front, a possible territorial exchange around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and demilitarization of part of the Kinburn Spit while retaining Ukrainian control. He also said elections cannot be held during the war and would require at least six months of preparation for a safe process. #Ukraine

❗️Ukrainian long-range drones struck the Novomoskovsk Azot chemical plant in Russia’s Tula region, with local residents reporting a fire.

Public procurement and rail data cited in the reporting link it to supplies of raw materials for the Sverdlov Plant in Dzerzhinsk, a major Russian producer of military explosives. #Russia
