Russia's war on Ukraine

Russia has continued deadly strikes on Ukraine, including attacks near Kyiv, a double-tap drone strike that killed 15 in a mall, and a drone strike on a Ukrainian TV channel building in Kyiv in which five were killed. Ukraine has struck back inside Russia and sunk a Russian container ship, and has warned that an interceptor shortage is costing lives. Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Putin in Moscow and then Zelensky in Kyiv, after both countries agreed to halt strikes on each other's capitals for three days and following a reported unannounced visit to Moscow by the CIA chief. Zelensky says he expects the war to continue into winter.
