General Staff: Ukraine repels Russian attacks near 5 settlements

Russian forces launched 117 long-range attack drones, Gerbera and simulator drones at Ukraine overnight on Nov. 13, including 63 jet-powered drones, Ukraine's Air Force said.

The Anti-Corruption Action Center, an independent watchdog, has lambasted acting Prosecutor General Anton Kovalskyi for refusing to open the investigation so far.

Zavorotny served as press secretary during the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine and fled to Russia in 2014 after Yanukovych's ouster following the Euromaidan Revolution.

The L-39 Skyfox, manufactured by Czech company Aero Vodochody, is a subsonic jet primarily designed for military pilot training. It can also carry out light attack, reconnaissance, and aerial patrol missions.

The number includes 2,590 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

A downed drone caused a fire at a medical facility in the capital's Shevchenkivskyi district in the early morning, partially destroying its second floor, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service. Seven people in the facility had to be rescued by first responders.

A U.S. Army officer who was arrested in England for allegedly attempting to pass sensitive information to Russia was identified as Lt. Col. Brandon Tyner on Nov. 12.

Eyewitness footage from the scene appears to show flames emanating from the Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka refinery, one of Russia's largest oil refineries with an annual crude oil processing capacity of 15 million metric tons.

Over a hundred drones have been shot down en route to the Russian capital, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin claimed.

In a briefing alongside Witkoff and Kushner after the meeting, Zelensky told reporters that Europe would be represented in the next round of peace talks and that the upcoming Russia-Ukraine prisoner exchange would be the largest swap yet.

Kernel Holding, Ukraine's largest producer and exporter of sunflower oil, said its production sites, equipment, and storage tanks had been damaged by Russian drones.

"Naturally, during the planned meeting with (Trump) at the APEC summit in Shenzhen, we will continue to discuss the full range of issues related to the settlement," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov claimed.

"When it comes to European security, then the treaties are very concrete. It is (Council President) Antonio Costa, and it is the High Representative and Vice President (Kaja Kallas) who is representing Europe in security matters," Kallas said. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, however, stopped short of endorsing the Costa-Kallas ticket.
