[Hot News Recap: Russia's Massive Airstrikes on Ukrainian Energy Facilities Put Abu Dhabi Peace Talks to the Test] 1. On Tuesday, Russia launched multiple waves of attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure with dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones, causing widespread power outages. The attacks occurred a week before the resumption of US-brokered peace talks, and Ukraine claimed it was one of the largest nighttime airstrikes since the start of the war. 2. Zelensky stated that Russian forces bombed a school used as a relief distribution point in the village of Komishuvakha in the Zaporizhzhia region twice on Monday, killing at least 33 people and leaving about 50 still buried. Russia claimed the attacks targeted Ukrainian military units. Ukraine also claimed that Russia launched 289 drones, 17 ballistic missiles, and 59 cruise missiles overnight, shutting down three DTEK power plants and causing power outages in Kyiv and other areas. 3. Ukraine claimed to have attacked a large oil refinery in Yaroslavl, Russia, during the night. The airstrike occurred less than two days after the end of the brief humanitarian ceasefire in Russian-controlled Oreshki; the United States is scheduled to hold a new round of peace talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11. 4. After meeting with German Chancellor Merz in Berlin, Zelenskyy stated that the attack demonstrated Moscow's unwillingness to advance a humanitarian ceasefire. Merz called the talks a "correct step" to ending the fighting, but saw no signs of serious negotiations from the Russian side. The EU will meet with Ukraine, the United States, NATO, and European allies on Wednesday to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine and the "Prosperity Plan."
