Overview
- Ukraine observed its annual Holodomor commemoration as officials reported 104 Russian attack drones and one ballistic missile launched overnight, with air defenses downing 89 drones.
- Authorities said strikes damaged the Orlivka Ukraine–Romania crossing, injuring two people, suspending the ferry complex, and hitting 11 trucks and administrative buildings.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy invoked the 1930s famine in remarks that framed current fighting as resistance to a Russia that “once again brings death.”
- Reporting says President Donald Trump set a November 27 deadline for Ukraine to accept a 28‑point plan that would include territorial concessions, a smaller military, and dropping NATO ambitions, with threats to pull US support if Kyiv refuses.
- Vladimir Putin publicly acknowledged receiving the US proposal and warned Russia would keep advancing if it is rejected, as European leaders, caught off guard, coordinated their response and civic figures in Germany urged adding the Holodomor to school curricula.
