Ukraine's Air Force said its Air Alert app was compromised by unauthorized persons, sending false nuclear and chemical threat warnings in Kyiv and other areas, and temporarily disabled push notifications. Two hours later, Russia's Ministry for Emergency Situations said its mobile app had been hit by a massive cyberattack that sent fake information, though it is unclear whether the incidents are linked. Separately, a local ceasefire in Oleshky, Kherson region, expired after allowing aid deliveries and the evacuation of hundreds of people. Zelenskyy said October was Russia's deadliest month since the invasion began, with 54,400 troops killed or badly wounded, while Ukraine liberated 96.2 square kilometers in October, 10.4 square kilometers more than Russia captured.

- “Your money is still safe”: Reassuring message for Russians reveals what happened to the internet system
Attacks from Ukraine on Russian data centers in October disrupted dozens of services, from taxi and food delivery to banking and email. According to NetBlocks, connectivity to Yandex Cloud fell to about 30% of normal after attacks between October 8 and 11, affecting 84 cloud services. Yandex confirmed one data center was severely damaged, another was shut down and a third was disrupted, and has not disclosed the full extent of the damage or a recovery timeline. Yandex Pay was still only partly working as of Monday, and dozens of court hearings across Russia were also disrupted by technical problems. According to T-Invariant, all three of Yandex's supercomputers are likely also heavily affected, which could leave Russia years behind in the AI race.
- Ukraine Strikes ‘Russia’s Google’, Internet Becomes New Front
Since October 8, Ukrainian attacks have damaged 3 of 5 major data centers in Yandex's system, the Russian tech firm behind search, maps, cloud computing, ride-hailing and food delivery. The outages have disrupted millions of users across Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, with drivers unable to withdraw their earnings and a Moscow resident finding her 1.5 million rubles (about 17,830 USD) in savings no longer showing in her Yandex Pay account. Yandex says customer funds are safe and it is working to restore services. Kyiv says the strikes retaliate for Russian attacks on Ukrainian data centers in September, and the article argues that digital infrastructure has become a new front in the conflict. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has told private companies to protect their critical infrastructure from drones themselves.
- People are rejoicing about the removal of Russian bots from social media – but the truth is far more complicated
Many social media users claim Russian bot traffic has dropped sharply after Ukrainian attacks on Yandex data centres, and say automated posts on X and Facebook have fallen too. Cloudflare data shows a small overall drop in bot traffic, with Yandex's traffic falling close to zero on Sunday and not yet recovered, as Yandex works to restore its services. However, the article says this does not necessarily mean social media bots have reduced their activity or that misinformation has meaningfully declined, because Cloudflare measures all non-human traffic, including crawlers used by search engines and AI training. The widely shared charts therefore do not prove anything about social media bots.
- EU Commissioner “Pressures” a European Country: Joining the Bloc Requires Sanctions on Russia
EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos said Serbia would need to impose sanctions on Russia to eventually join the EU, adding that membership would likely be impossible without strategic alignment on foreign and security policy, especially over Ukraine. Her remarks came days after the opposition Student List movement won 52.5% of the vote in snap parliamentary elections, defeating former president Aleksandar Vucic, and Kos noted that EU negotiations with the new government have not yet begun. Movement figures have not clearly stated their position on Russia sanctions, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow hopes to maintain mutually beneficial ties with Serbia. The EU has adopted 22 sanctions packages against Russia since February 2022.
- US Plans Unexpected Economic Boost for Russia: Europe Immediately Objects
The US is pushing to quickly restart the sale of Russian gas to Europe through the pipeline crossing Ukraine, possibly via a US intermediary, with the proceeds placed in an escrow account in a third country so Moscow cannot use them to fund the war. Washington sees this as a lever to persuade President Vladimir Putin to accept a ceasefire on energy infrastructure, and Kyiv could earn significant transit fees. However, the EU must fully end Russian gas purchases by the end of 2027, and many European leaders have said they do not want to depend on Moscow again. Before the war Russia supplied about 45% of Europe's gas, now only about 11%, while US LNG covers about 30% of demand; the Iran conflict has pushed Europe's energy spending up by about 100 billion euros (112 billion USD), and storage is about 75% full. Moscow has not yet accepted the US-backed energy-strike ceasefire effort.
- Russia-Ukraine conflict: Oleshky ceasefire expires
Ukrainian officials said the longest ceasefire of the conflict, limited to Oleshky east of Kherson, ended on 1/11 after Russia rejected a proposal to extend it. The truce ran from 27/10 to 1/11, was arranged with the involvement of US First Lady Melania Trump, and enabled a humanitarian mission in Oleshky, with no violations reported. Ukraine described it as the largest de-escalation since 2022. US-mediated Russia-Ukraine talks are expected to resume in November, after stalling since the US and Israel jointly struck Iran in February. A Ukrainian officer warned fighting could become worse when it resumes, as Russian forces reportedly used the lull to bring in more troops and ammunition, while Ukrainian media reported that Kyiv hit Russia's Kstovo refinery.

- Gold prices today, Monday, November 2, 2026: Gold opens at its lowest point in over a year ahead of midterms
Gold December futures opened at $3,890 per troy ounce on Monday, down 0.2% from Friday's close, and rose slightly to $3,913.70 by 7:02 a.m. ET. The opening price was the lowest since October 3, 2025, as a sharp equities selloff led investors to sell gold to raise cash, according to Dana Samuelson of American Gold Exchange. He said the gold market was already weak and vulnerable, trading just above its major July support of $3,975, and its break below that level worsened the decline. Compared with a week, a month and a year earlier, the opening price was down 3%, 7.5% and 3.7%, respectively.
