The United States will mediate working-level negotiations between Ukraine and Russia on November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi, advancing President Trump’s mission to end the war. Discussions will focus on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian efforts, and next steps toward peace. Additionally, American negotiators will meet this week in Brussels with representatives from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the EU, and NATO to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, Europe’s post-war security architecture, and economic opportunities to support Ukraine’s reconstruction. We look forward to building on the progress made in Kyiv, Oslo, and St. Petersburg toward a comprehensive, durable peace agreement that delivers lasting security for generations to come.

Ukraine’s budget has fallen $1.8 billion short in 10 months — three-quarters of that shortfall came in August–October, when Russian strikes intensified and Black Sea ports remained closed. Metallurgy, which once accounted for around 7% of GDP, is now close to zero. Steel production has collapsed, metal exports fell 48% in August, and grain exports through ports have dropped to roughly 30% of normal levels. In a war of attrition, the economy is the foundation. Without it, you cannot keep paying soldiers, treating the wounded, or supporting civilians for years. For 2027, the financing gap could reach $30–70 billion, depending on defense requirements. Ukraine is now close to the edge. Resources are thinning, people are exhausted, and the economic base that makes a long war possible is being steadily worn down. At some point there may simply be nothing left for Zelenskyy to fight with — or to govern.

Protesters stormed a building in the town of Sofiivska Borschahivka on the western outskirts of Kyiv, where at least 14 people - primarily forcibly mobilised men - were reportedly being held hostage by personnel from the 1st Corps of the National Guard "Azov". Among those in the building was a child who was allegedly beaten with a shovel. A bus arrived at the scene to transport around 12 of the individuals being held, resulting in the protesters attempting to overturn the vehicle. Rapid Operational Response Unit (KORD) personnel dispersed the protests, with reports of gunfire and explosions being heard amid the clashes. President Office Head Kyrylo Budanov arrived at the scene, stating that he was trying to "figure out what the hell is going on." The event is under investigation by the National Guard.
