[Korrespondent] 21:42 Zelensky announced that on Thursday, November 7, he will take part in the summit of the European Political Community in Budapest. "We will discuss security challenges in Europe, as well as new opportunities for all partners. There will be a number of meetings, a number of agreements with European leaders," the president announced.  18:57 European leaders will gather in Budapest on November 7-8 to discuss Trump's victory and the war in Ukraine. The European Political Community summit will take place on November 7, with an informal meeting the following day. Both events will be hosted by Viktor Orban. He insists on changing the EU's strategy on Ukraine after Trump's victory. According to the Hungarian prime minister, after Trump's return to the White House, American aid to Kiev may be suspended, so "there are serious doubts" whether Europe will be able to cope with this on its own. 17:38 Law enforcement officers are investigating 49 criminal cases on the facts of the murder of 124 prisoners of war by Russians on the battlefield, the Prosecutor General's Office reported. They noted that the rapid increase in cases of murders of Ukrainian defenders during their surrender began at the end of last year and has reached unprecedented proportions this year. Most of the cases have been recorded in the Donetsk region. 16:19 The Atesh partisan movement reports that its agents have recorded the movement of a Palantin electronic warfare column, consisting of seven mobile systems, from St. Petersburg towards the border with Ukraine to combat drone attacks. 15:06 Since November 1, the duration of basic combined arms training has increased from 30 to 45 days in all training centers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, said Igor Palahnyuk, a representative of the General Staff. He specified that the new basic program has increased by 78 hours. In particular, fire training has increased by 33 hours, and the number of training exercises - from 23 to 45. 14:27 The Russian Foreign Ministry has announced its readiness to cooperate with the Trump administration, but on the condition that Russia's goals in the war in Ukraine are achieved: "Russia will work with the new administration when it "settles" in the White House, firmly defending Russian national interests and focusing on achieving all the goals of the special military operation." The statement said that Moscow "has no illusions" about Trump, "who is well known in Russia," since the American elite, "regardless of party affiliation, adheres to anti-Russian attitudes and a line of containing Moscow." 13:12 GUR drones have hit enemy ships in the Caspian Sea for the first time, Ukrainian media write, citing sources in the special services. As a result of the special operation, the Russian flotilla in the Caspian Sea was defeated. The distance from the Ukrainian state border to the target is about 1,500 km. In particular, the Tatarstan and Dagestan missile ships were probably hit, and small missile ships of Project 21631 could also have been damaged. 12:24 Peskov, commenting on Trump's election as president, said that "the US is an unfriendly country that is directly and indirectly involved in the war against Russia," and that "the Ukrainian conflict cannot be ended overnight." At the same time, he once again repeated that Moscow is ready for dialogue, but the US is currently demonstrating the opposite position. 12:16 Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak said that Zelensky and his team had a "good meeting" with Trump in September. "Then we managed to discuss in detail the plan for Ukraine's victory, the strategic partnership between Ukraine and the United States, and ways to end the war. The presidents also had good working relations during Donald Trump's first term. It is important that Ukraine has bipartisan support in the United States," Yermak said. 12:01 Trump said during his nightly speech that he intends to stop wars in the world: "They said: he will start a war. I am not going to start a war, I am going to stop wars." 11:29 In Zaporizhia, one of those wounded in yesterday's Russian strike has died. Thus, the death toll has risen to eight, said OVA head Ivan Fedorov. 10:55 The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Kovalenko, reported that a port was attacked in the Russian city of Kaspiysk. 10:17 Zelensky congratulated Donald Trump on his "impressive" victory in the US elections: "I appreciate President Trump's commitment to the "peace through strength" approach in global affairs. It is this principle that can really bring a just peace to Ukraine closer. I hope that together we will bring it to life. We look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under the decisive leadership of President Trump. We count on continued strong bipartisan support for Ukraine in the United States." 09:34 Zelensky signed laws extending martial law and general mobilization for 90 days - until February 7, 2025. 09:25 Drones attempted to attack the main base of the Russian Navy's Caspian Flotilla in Dagestan, local publics write. Head of the Republic of Dagestan Sergey Melikov reported that a drone was shot down in Kaspiysk, but local residents report that there were several of them. Publics note that this is the first time drones have attacked Dagestan. 09:19 In Kharkiv, the number of casualties as a result of yesterday's Russian drone strike on the Shevchenkivskyi district has increased to two, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. Another three people were injured as a result of the enemy attack in the village of Kapitolovka in the Izyumsky district and two died in the village of Glushkovka in the Kupyansky district. 09:03 Over almost three months of the Ukrainian Armed Forces operation in the Kursk region, as of November 5, the enemy's losses in personnel amount to 20,842 people, of which 7,905 were eliminated, 12,220 were wounded, and 717 were taken prisoner, Syrsky reported. During this period, 1,101 units of enemy weapons and military equipment were destroyed, including: 54 tanks, 276 combat armored vehicles, 107 guns and mortars, five MLRS and 659 units of automotive equipment. Russia has now concentrated about 45,000 troops in the Kursk direction and is trying to increase their number, including by bringing in troops from North Korea. About 2,000 Ukrainian servicemen have been awarded state awards for their heroism and successful actions during the Kursk operation. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also recalled that in May of this year, intelligence confirmed the enemy's plan to attack in the Sumy direction from the Kursk region to create a so-called buffer zone in the north of Ukraine - this was supposed to be a continuation of the Russian operation in the Kharkov direction. That is why a decision was made to conduct an offensive operation ahead of the curve with the transfer of military actions to the enemy's territory in the Kursk region. 08:17 In the Kherson region, five people were wounded as a result of Russian shelling over the past day, reported the head of the OVA, Oleksandr Prokudin. 07:56 The General Staff announced the estimated losses of the Russian Federation as of the morning of November 6:
07:44 Air defense destroyed 38 out of 63 Russian drones (Shahed and unspecified type) in Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Sumy, Kirovohrad, Zhytomyr, Cherkasy, Chernihiv and Zaporizhia regions at night, the Air Force reported. Another 20 enemy drones were lost, two remain in Ukrainian airspace. In addition, at night, the Russian Federation struck Odessa region with two guided air missiles Kh-59 and Kh-31P. 07:21 In the Nikolaev region, as a result of a nighttime enemy attack on the energy infrastructure, some subscribers were de-energized, reported the head of the OVA Vitaly Kim. 07:08 In Zaporozhye, the number of victims as a result of yesterday's Russian strike on a critical infrastructure facility has increased to 25, seven people have died, reported the head of the OVA Ivan Fedorov.
