Russia, Ukraine and the US opened talks in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, due to run through Wednesday. Trump says Ukraine will end up with a "little bit different shape". He also expects to meet Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin during his trip to China next week, though Beijing says only that it is in communication with the parties.
The war around Ukraine continued alongside the diplomacy. Ukrainian drones set fire to Russia's Kirishi refinery overnight, while Russian strikes hit Ukrainian substations and Dnipro bridges. In the Gulf, Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline was attacked on Monday, a day after Houthi missiles damaged the Aramco Tower in Riyadh, and Houthi-run authorities say at least 44 people died in an airstrike near Sanaa. Qatar is mediating between Washington and Tehran, which remain far apart. France blamed Iran's Revolutionary Guards for October's cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration.
Brent crude fell below $93 a barrel on Monday, its lowest since 1 September, after Trump said renewed strikes on Iran were unlikely. Asian markets and the Dax recovered from last week's AI-driven selloff. Nvidia's board opened an investigation into CEO Jensen Huang after he admitted an affair with a woman US officials suspect of spying for China. China extended its pause on a 24% additional tariff on US imports by two months.
Leaked data from Russia's statistics agency Rosstat suggests more than 400,000 Russians have died fighting in Ukraine, according to The Guardian, while Politika cites more than 450,000. Le Monde reports that Belarusian and Ukrainian hackers got into the agency's computers. Tomorrow, watch the second day of the Abu Dhabi talks.
