Overnight attention stayed on Washington's peace push as Trump touted a big Ukraine deal for all Europe and Kushner detailed next week's Abu Dhabi talks and a five-point security plan, with Zelensky conditioning wartime elections on a US-brokered winter ceasefire.
By morning focus shifted to the aftermath of strikes, with the Komyshuvakha school toll rising to 53 and emergency blackouts across Kyiv and six other regions, prompting Zelensky to blame city authorities for Kyiv's unpreparedness and Klitschko to reject the charge.
The Carthage case advanced as SBU General Duka was remanded for 60 days, while Budanov was named to lead the Abu Dhabi delegation. Evening coverage turned to reports of new Russian territorial demands and Zelensky's dismissal of Trump's security proposal as dangerous, giving way to his warning of a strike on energy and Dnipro bridges, followed by a ballistic attack on Kyiv.
