Overnight, Russia launched a massive drone attack on Kyiv, with over 30 UAVs targeting six districts. The assault caused fires and damage to residential buildings, a medical center, and a business center. By afternoon, attention shifted to Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election. Zelensky had a "wonderful phone call" with Trump, while reports emerged of a potential Trump peace plan involving a frontline freeze and postponing NATO membership. Later, Russia struck Zaporizhzhia with guided aerial bombs, hitting a hospital and residential buildings. Casualties rose throughout the day, reaching four dead and 33 injured by evening. Zelensky addressed the European Political Community summit in Budapest, emphasizing Ukraine's need for weapons rather than negotiation support. The day concluded with discussions on Germany's potential continued aid to Ukraine in 2025 and analysis of Putin's strategy behind nightly drone attacks.
