Zelensky condemns diesel sanctions

Russian missile and drone attacks struck Kyiv overnight, killing one civilian and wounding 22.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned U.S. President Donald Trump’s lifting of Russian diesel sanctions as weak, saying it harms Ukraine’s defence.
The attacks damaged civilian homes, an ambulance station and a monastery in Kyiv.
Zelenskyy said attacks show Russia isn’t serious about peace and demanded Patriot systems and sanctions.

Blindspot

Kremlin foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said President Vladimir Putin agreed in principle to resume three-way peace negotiations after Nov. 10, hours after the Kremlin announced it would restart U.S.-brokered talks.
Within this story's sources, this angle appears mainly in Center-leaning coverage and receives less attention in Left-leaning coverage.

History

Historical Context

The 2014 Russian incursion into Donbas sparked fighting that led to the September 2014 Minsk I and the February 12 2015 Minsk II accords, which demanded a cease-fire, heavy-weapon pull-back and Ukrainian border control. Violations exceeded 4,000 in 2015 and roughly one-third of Donbas stayed under separatist rule, so today’s Kyiv raids echo the same pattern of collapsed cease-fires.
