Starlink access restored, Ukraine says, as Abu Dhabi talks planned and strikes go on

On Saturday Ukraine's defence minister said the country had regained a stable connection to Starlink and Starshield, and Ukraine said access was restored. Elon Musk said SpaceX had throttled Starlink speeds in Ukraine. Negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the US are expected to meet in Abu Dhabi next month. Attacks continue on both sides, and maritime analysts say nearly 50 commercial vessels were attacked in the Black Sea in October.

• On Thursday Russian long-range attacks killed at least 14 civilians and injured 78 across Ukraine, the UN says. This came hours after Putin told Witkoff Russia was ready to resume trilateral talks.
• On Friday Putin said Russia wants talks on a final deal, not a short truce. The White House said a localised ceasefire would take effect in Oleshky, but neither Russia nor Ukraine has confirmed it.
• Romania blames Russia for a drone strike that sank the Comoros-flagged Khoryv in the Black Sea. One sailor was killed and three are missing.
• Moscow said it intercepted 630 Ukrainian drones targeting the capital on Thursday, and Ukrainian drone strikes are disrupting Moscow's airports.
