UK defense secretary urges Ukraine to 'keep up the momentum'

"We see some openings and some opportunities," Jared Kushner told the press, adding that the U.S. envoys would then travel to Dublin to debrief President Volodymyr Zelensky, who will be attending an informal meeting of EU leaders scheduled for Nov. 13.

The exchange was also confirmed by Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who is leading Russia's delegation.

An air raid alert sounded in the region at around 11 a.m. local time. At the time, Ukraine's Air Force reported that a jet-powered drone was heading toward Chornomorsk.

Russian forces launched a Kh-59/69 guided missile from the Black Sea, 163 long-range attack drones, including 91 jet-powered drones, drone decoys, and Banderol/Dan-T cruise missiles at Ukraine overnight on Nov. 11, the Air Force said.

Kyiv has urged its partners to speed up aircraft deliveries, which are expected to strengthen Ukraine's air defense capabilities, including its ability to intercept Russian attack drones, Volodymyr Zelensky said on Nov. 11.

Ukrainian drones struck the Ust-Luga Baltic Sea port in western Russia's Leningrad Oblast overnight on Nov. 11, monitoring channels reported.

Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence chief Rustem Umerov earlier said that "the agenda includes key questions related to ending hostilities and moving closer to peace."

The number includes 2,580 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

Honcharenko accused Russian forces of deliberately targeting people responsible for maintaining essential services in the city.

Costa's response indicates plans to "make time for a broad discussion on Ukraine at the upcoming informal European Council in Dublin", but leaves the previously scheduled financing discussions unchanged.

"Attempts to pacify Putin are both fantasy and folly by an American president who seems forever enamored by this autocratic Russian leader who is endlessly playing President Trump for a fool," Sen. Richard Durbin said.

"There should be fewer enemy drones over Ukrainian cities. That's why we are not only intercepting drones that have already been launched, but also destroying the infrastructure from which they are launched," the 412th Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces wrote.

The office of Ukraine's human rights ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, continues to receive calls and inquiries from Oleshky residents.
