Russia used dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones to strike Ukraine's energy infrastructure, leaving many regions without power. According to President Zelensky, overnight on 2–3/11 Russia launched 289 drones, 17 ballistic missiles and 59 cruise missiles at power plants and substations from Odesa to Rivne, and DTEK said three of its five thermal power plants had stopped operating. Kyiv lost power along with at least six other areas, and water supply and transport were also disrupted. The attack came less than two days after a short humanitarian ceasefire in Oleshky ended, and just a week before the US-mediated peace talks planned in Abu Dhabi on 10–11/11. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the planned trilateral talks were the right step but Europe must be part of the process, and that he had seen no sign Russia would seriously negotiate a ceasefire.

- 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.
- Why does Russia summon Norway's chargé d'affaires?
On November 3, the Kremlin summoned Norway's chargé d'affaires Bjorn Svenungsen in Moscow to protest Norway's continued seizure of Russian property at the request of Ukrainian companies. Russia's Foreign Ministry said the research vessel Professor Molchanov, detained on September 2 at the request of Naftogaz and other Ukrainian firms, remains moored at Barentsburg port in Svalbard, and that the North Troms and Senja District Court rejected Arktikugol Fund's appeal on October 28. Moscow warned that prolonged winter mooring in Arctic conditions could damage the ship and harm the environment, and said the vessel is the only direct cargo supplier to the archipelago since Norway's restrictions ended the Russia–Svalbard flights. Russia urged Norway to comply with international law, including the Svalbard Treaty and the Vienna conventions, and said five Russian properties in Oslo were confiscated on September 22.
- Ukrainian President speaks on possible territorial swap with Russia
In an exclusive interview with TSN The Week, broadcast on October 25, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the US has long raised land swaps with Russia, but Ukraine will not swap one area for another and treats territory as a red line to be discussed directly between leaders. He said Ukraine wants to keep an army of about 800,000 if funded, rejects the neutrality or force limits demanded by Moscow, and sees NATO membership as the best guarantee, or failing that, an extension of Article 5 to Ukraine by Europe and the US. Ahead of a trilateral meeting with the US and Russia expected in November, Kyiv proposes an energy-infrastructure ceasefire, safe Black Sea grain shipping and an all-for-all prisoner exchange. He also said Starlink has been restored and intelligence sharing has resumed, but Ukraine still lacks Patriot missiles, and warned Washington not to lift sanctions on Russia before a peace deal.
- Russia confirms new Ukraine peace talks as Melania Trump prepares to host ceasefire meeting
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.
- Russia Speeds Up Push to Seize the Entire Eastern Bank of the Dnipro River
The Telegram channel Legitimny says Ukraine faces a severe manpower shortage that could lead to the collapse of its Zaporizhzhia defenses. Orikhiv is reportedly encircled on three sides and could fall within 2-3 months. If the current advance continues, Russian forces could approach Zaporizhzhia city by summer 2027 and cut southern supply lines, reaching the Dnipro's left bank by late 2027. Ukrainian and Russian analysts also cite high casualties and reserve shortages, while drone operations may become harder in cold winter weather, potentially opening new gaps in the front line.

- Asian Stocks Slump, Nikkei Loses Over 2,200 Points as US Development Reverses Market
Asian stock markets fell sharply on the morning of 4 November as US midterm election vote counting began, with early results suggesting the Democrats could win control of the House and were leading in some Senate races. Japan's Nikkei 225 at one point dropped more than 2,200 points, or 3.6%, with chip-memory maker Kioxia Holdings falling more than 11%, while South Korea's KOSPI slipped more than 3% and Taiwan's Taiex fell nearly 1%. Investors are concerned that a Democratic-led Congress may be less supportive of data-centre construction than Republicans under President Donald Trump, after the Nasdaq rose 0.8% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) gained 2.6% on Wall Street in the previous session. The US dollar also weakened against the yen, falling from above 158 yen to about 157.60 yen per dollar.
- How Would US-China Relations Look if Trump's Party Loses Congress?
Results of the US midterm elections could shift the balance of power in Congress, but the Democrats' immediate priorities are likely to be investigating the current administration and checking President Donald Trump's executive power. Chen Dongxiao, president of the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies, told The Paper that the vote is unlikely to cause major disruption to US-China ties, since the president retains considerable autonomy in foreign policy and both parties largely agree on China strategy. Two issues could add strain: Taiwan, where lawmakers have long been unhappy with Trump's delays in approving arms sales to Taipei, and AI, where competition and cooperation can coexist as both sides seek advantage while managing global security risks. Despite positive signals, including friendly personal ties between Trump and Xi during the September Washington visit, distrust and rivalry for power remain key challenges.
- From 1 January 2027, Regional Minimum Wages Rise; Employers May Not Cut Allowances to Offset Pay
Decree 399/2026/NĐ-CP, effective 1 January 2027, sets monthly minimum wages for employees on labour contracts at VND 5.7 million in Region I, VND 5.08 million in Region II, VND 4.45 million in Region III and VND 4.04 million in Region IV. Employers must review labour contracts, collective labour agreements and internal regulations and adjust them accordingly, and may not abolish or reduce pay entitlements for overtime, night work or in-kind meal allowances. Existing agreements that are more favourable to workers, such as pay for jobs requiring training at least 7% above the minimum wage or arduous, hazardous work at least 5% higher, continue to apply unless the parties agree otherwise. Pay under weekly, daily, piece-rate or contract arrangements, when converted to monthly or hourly terms, also cannot fall below the corresponding minimum.
- Novo Resources expands high-grade gold search - ICYMI
Novo Resources (TSX:NVO, ASX:NVO) is set to begin a 2,700-metre reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Clone prospect within its Tibooburra Gold Project in New South Wales, targeting extensions of high-grade gold mineralisation. The campaign follows up on 2025 drilling that returned 12 metres at 5.9 grams per tonne gold from near surface, and will focus on tracking the mineralised system to the north and testing its down-plunge continuation at depth. The broader Albert Goldfield spans about 30 kilometres of strike, but much of it has seen little modern exploration, and faulting and cross-cutting structures also need to be understood. Novo holds 70% of a joint venture with Manhattan Gold Corporation Ltd, where it is operator, and is running regional stream sediment, rock-chip and soil sampling to identify new drill targets for 2027.
- USD Price Drops Close to VND 25,900
Bank dollar rates kept falling through the past week, reaching their lowest level in about a year and a half on the morning of 4 November, with Vietcombank quoting VND 25,520–25,930 per USD. The State Bank of Vietnam set the central rate at 25,267 dong per dollar, down 3 dong, and commercial banks may trade within a 5% band. Over the week the dollar fell nearly 100 dong (0.35%) and about 1.7% since the start of the year, while the US Dollar Index dropped nearly 0.9% to around 101.3 points. Techcombank expects USD/VND to hover near 26,000, supported by an interest rate gap of over 3 percentage points and record FDI disbursement of USD 21.1 billion in the first nine months, up 12%.
- ZachXBT identifies French bank as alleged victim of $133M crypto theft
Onchain investigator ZachXBT has identified French banking group Crédit Mutuel Arkéa as the alleged victim of a crypto theft exceeding $133 million, and warned the total could be higher because some OTC transactions may not be counted. The bank's involvement has not been independently verified or confirmed by the bank, which did not respond to Cointelegraph's request for comment. ZachXBT first flagged over $106 million in suspicious withdrawals from centralized exchanges on Monday, then raised the estimate after another $27 million surfaced on Tuesday. Blockchain analytics firm Bitquery traced about $63 million in stablecoins converted into Ether within four hours, and Kraken and Crypto.com said they had restricted accounts or blocked related funds, stating their platforms remained secure.
