05.11.2026 ⇢ The Day Melania Trump Hosted Rival Envoys at the White House
⌨

Overnight Ukrainian drones hit Ryazan, with state wires reporting fires at enterprises and one injured, later citing over 200 drones, while independent outlets specified the refinery supplying Moscow and a Wildberries warehouse; Moscow reported retaliatory strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure and a vessel in the Black Sea.

Attention then returned to the U.S. midterms, treated as a Democratic sweep of both chambers. Coverage carried Vance blaming the Iran war, talk of Trump bracing for investigations, Kremlin comment, and speculation over renewed Ukraine aid, alongside reports that two diesel tankers sent under the Trump-Putin deal changed course for lack of buyers.

By evening focus moved to Washington, where Melania Trump met Russian and Ukrainian representatives on the Aleshki humanitarian pause, passing messages to Putin and Zelensky, while Putin transferred Japan Tobacco assets to temporary management.
