Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv is working with its partners in the "Coalition of the Willing" to draw up a peace plan, including a ceasefire, to end the Russian war against Ukraine in a similar vein to U.S. President Donald Trump's 20-point framework for Gaza.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia has deployed about 170,000 troops in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, aiming to capture the city of Pokrovsk.

President Trump, on his way back to the White House on Sunday night, suggested that he's no longer actively trying to end the war between Russia and Ukraine: REPORTER: What would be the final straw for you that proves that Putin is really not ready to end this war with Ukraine?

Ukraine's military reportedly struck and damaged Russia's Volgograd oil refinery overnight on Nov. 6, Russian Telegram media channels reported, as explosions rocked several Russian energy sites.

Ukrainian drones have struck a major oil refinery in Russia’s Volgograd region for the second time in nearly three months, according to Ukraine’s general staff.

Burgas is Bulgaria's only oil refinery, and was a key part of Lukoil's foreign business empire, which is being threatened after the US joined Britain last month in imposing sanctions on Russia's two largest oil companies over Moscow's war in Ukraine.

The Russian Defense Ministry said Wednesday that Ukrainian troops should surrender to save themselves in Pokrovsk, a transport and supply hub seen as a gateway to bigger nearby cities.

A unit from Ukraine's Special Operations Forces (SOF), acting jointly with the partisan movement Chornaya Iskra (Black Spark), struck a transport and loading vehicle used for the Iskander tactical missile system on the night of 3-4 October.
