👢 Ousting

A political struggle for control of the capital has reportedly resumed, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attempting to remove Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko from his post. The move signals a dispute over the city’s administration and its readiness for the winter season. The United States has approved the sale of 500 Patriot interceptor missiles, though the delivery timeline is less than immediate. President Zelenskyy noted that while the missiles are needed this winter, some may not arrive until after 2030; Defense Express suggests the current supply of interceptors may last only three months. Russian forces launched 134 drones across the country while carrying out 935 strikes on the Zaporizhzhia region, which left one person dead. A separate attack on an energy facility in Kyiv cut water and power to parts of the city. In the south, four planes carrying evacuees from the occupied town of Oleshky have arrived in Belarus, according to the head of the governing party's parliamentary faction.
