Russia confirmed that peace talks with Ukraine and the U.S. will take place in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 10-11, with Vladimir Medinsky as Moscow's chief negotiator, and said a trilateral meeting of Putin, Trump and Xi Jinping to end the conflict is on the table. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Kremlin hopes to finalize plans for that meeting in the coming days. First Lady Melania Trump will bring Russian and Ukrainian representatives to the White House on Thursday to discuss a local ceasefire in Kherson, following the end of a six-day ceasefire in Oleshky that the White House said she brokered. Zelenskyy has said any talks on Ukraine's future must include Kyiv, as tensions between Washington and Kyiv have risen.

- US envoy announces timing for resumed Russia-Ukraine peace talks
US envoy Steve Witkoff said Washington will mediate a round of expert-level talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11, focusing on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian issues and next steps toward peace. Ahead of the talks, US negotiators are scheduled to meet representatives of France, Germany, the UK, the EU and NATO in Brussels this week to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, Europe's post-war security structure and economic cooperation to support Ukraine's reconstruction. Witkoff said Washington aims to build on earlier diplomatic discussions in Kyiv, Oslo and St. Petersburg toward a comprehensive and lasting peace agreement. The move comes as the Trump administration continues to push diplomacy to end the conflict, and Trump said last month that efforts may be closer to success than ever, expressing confidence that both Moscow and Kyiv want to end the fighting.
- The Force Behind Zelensky Defying Trump's Order
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on October 30 that Ukraine resumed drone attacks on three Russian oil refineries and one gas chemical complex, causing light damage to one facility. Presidential adviser Yuri Ushakov said Ukraine was ignoring President Trump's call to stop the attacks and was counting on European support. According to the Wall Street Journal, Ukraine had informally paused attacks on Russian refineries from mid-October under U.S. pressure, out of concern that rising global fuel prices would hurt Washington before the midterm elections on November 3. President Zelensky denied a full halt order, saying the military had only become more cautious. The Kremlin said the attacks would not hinder preparations for talks between Russia, Ukraine and the U.S.
- Russia says there is “no room” for European countries at three-way Ukraine talks
Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said a three-way Russia–Ukraine–US negotiation will take place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, after 4 November, but no specific date has been set. He denied reports that talks could take place on 4 November, saying Moscow has not sent any such signals. Ushakov also said European countries will not be invited to the negotiating table and could only attend by buying tickets. US President Donald Trump said a meeting with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky would be arranged “very soon.” Separately, governor Dmitry Milyaev said a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack in the early hours of 28 October sent debris falling on Novomoskovsk, damaging an apartment block, private houses and infrastructure in a nearby industrial zone.
- Ukraine wants to join the summit between Russia, the US and China
On Oct. 27, Alexander Merezhko, head of the foreign affairs and interparliamentary cooperation committee of Ukraine's parliament, said Ukraine should be allowed to join a three-way summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US leader Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. He argued that the presence of Ukraine and its European partners would prevent decisions forcing Ukraine to surrender. The article notes that on Oct. 19, Trump said Zelensky did not want to end the conflict and suggested someone else should handle negotiations for Ukraine. On Oct. 18, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Zelensky of repeatedly disrupting talks and attacking civilian targets right after positive reports on negotiations.
- US-Russia rapprochement: Must Ukraine accept 'peace at any cost'?
US-Ukraine relations are reportedly at their lowest as Trump repeatedly criticised President Zelensky and suggested others should negotiate on Ukraine's behalf. Since early October 2026, the US has signed a deal to buy Russian diesel, waived some sanctions and tariffs under the Lindsey O. Graham Act, and pressed Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries. Kyiv accuses Washington of delaying Patriot and AIM-9X interceptors, limiting early warnings and slowing Starlink/Starshield until service was restored in late October. Many experts say Trump wants a diplomatic result before the midterm elections, while Kyiv still refuses to recognise Russian sovereignty over occupied territory. A three-way US-Russia-Ukraine negotiation is expected in early November 2026.
- Ukraine's Strike on Russia Angers Trump: Crisis Emerges, Threatening Vital US Aid?
Relations between President Donald Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky have deteriorated, as Trump has grown frustrated with Kyiv's repeated strikes on Russia's diesel infrastructure while diesel prices have reached record highs. On September 13, Trump began publicly urging Ukraine to halt these strikes, but Kyiv refused, saying long-range drone attacks are its only viable response to Russia's five-year campaign. On October 9, Trump announced an agreement to buy diesel from Moscow and issued a temporary general license allowing Russian diesel to access global markets. On October 22, Trump said he had asked SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to restore Ukraine's access to Starlink, after an interruption had hampered Kyiv's military drone operations. Peace efforts have yet to produce concrete results, and negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the US are expected to meet in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November.

- What the 2026 midterm elections could mean for Trump’s final two years
Tuesday's midterm elections will determine which party controls Congress for the remainder of Donald Trump's presidency. Oddsmakers and polls favor Democrats, especially to flip the House, while the Senate is expected to be very close. Full results could take days or weeks to count; Stifel says markets could react sharply once results are clearer, but that reaction could reverse, since gridlock remains the most likely outcome. If Republicans keep control, Trump could push through his agenda with little congressional resistance. If Democrats win one chamber, passing budgets and must-pass bills would become harder, while Democrats could launch investigations into the White House and businesses.
- Bill Ackman warns of 'casino' stock market as speculative trading grows
Bill Ackman, founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, says the stock market feels broken as speculative trading and leverage drive wild price swings. He said markets have returned to 'casino type' conditions when leverage reached 95%, warning that one-day leveraged products, perpetual futures and sports betting are dangerous for investors treating stocks as a get-rich-quick scheme. Still, such dislocations allowed Pershing Square to buy Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet at attractive levels. Ackman is especially positive on Visa, Mastercard and Netflix, in which he disclosed a position in August.
- Top E-Commerce Stock Pick from BMO Capital Markets

- Next Generation Computing - Global Strategic Business Report 2026-2032: Capitalize on 19% CAGR, Featuring Intelligence on NVIDIA, IBM, Google, Microsoft, and AWS
The global next generation computing market was valued at US$147.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach US$497.3 billion by 2032, growing at a 19% CAGR during the forecast period. Growth is driven by demand for high-performance, quantum and edge computing, cloud platforms and AI accelerators as data volumes and real-time analytics expand. High development and deployment costs, especially for quantum and neuromorphic systems, along with a lack of widely adopted software and algorithm standards, remain barriers, and advances in quantum computing could weaken existing encryption. IBM, Google and Rigetti Computing are broadening access through cloud-based quantum services.
- Why Wall Street isn't exactly loving Marvell's $115B Lumentum deal
Marvell Technology (MRVL) announced an all-stock deal to acquire photonics company Lumentum (LITE) at a $115 billion enterprise value, including debt. Nvidia's Jensen Wong endorsed the deal, but most analysts were skeptical, questioning the timing amid problems in the chip sector and the financing. Analysts noted both stocks have traded volatilely over the past month, which makes using shares as currency risky when closing could take a long time. Some argue Lumentum's management is admitting it may not be well positioned to execute alone over the next two to three years, while Marvell must show what its stock is worth as currency. Market reaction to the deal has been largely negative.
