In a 60 Minutes interview two days after his party's midterm defeat, Donald Trump says he believes a deal to end Russia's war in Ukraine is close and that Ukraine will likely "end up with a little bit different shape," while declining to say whether he trusts Putin or Zelensky more ahead of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11. The Kyiv Independent also reports Russian strikes on Ukraine's power grids, overnight attacks killing 8 and injuring 19, a Starshield speed cap that disrupted Ukraine's drone defenses, and Moscow police detaining over 200 people, reportedly forcing some to sign military contracts.
