Russia attacked transport infrastructure in the Ukrainian capital, primarily targeting the Southern Bridge, with Kyiv officials reporting that the overnight assault included 16 ballistic missiles and over 280 drones. Meanwhile, Finnish President Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Støre held rare calls with Russian President Putin on Tuesday, followed by calls with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, with both leaders emphasizing the need for direct negotiations to end the conflict and de-escalate the situation. Zelenskyy stated that Putin was informed of the need to take practical steps to de-escalate attacks on Ukraine's energy facilities and infrastructure. These attacks occurred ahead of a US-brokered technical meeting between the two sides in Abu Dhabi in early November.
