Oleshky local ceasefire announced as Starlink access is reported restored

On Friday the White House's account of a localised ceasefire in Oleshky was followed by Donald Trump crediting Melania Trump; the White House said on Friday that neither Russia nor Ukraine had confirmed it. On Saturday Ukraine said Starlink access was restored after weeks of restrictions, and Elon Musk said he was behind the speed limits. Negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the US are expected to meet in Abu Dhabi next month. Strikes continued on both sides earlier in the week, and attacks on shipping in the Black Sea persist.

• Ukraine's defence minister said on Saturday the connection to Starlink and Starshield is stable again; Zelensky had said on Friday that limits persisted, and Canada's Mark Carney said restricted access was costing lives.
• Putin said Russia is ready to resume three-way talks on security parameters of a final deal, not a short truce.
• Maritime analysts say nearly 50 commercial vessels have been attacked in the Black Sea in October; Romania blames Russia for a drone strike that sank the Khoryv, killing one sailor with three missing.
• The UN said Russian attacks overnight into Thursday killed at least 14 civilians and injured 78; Moscow said it intercepted 630 Ukrainian drones targeting the capital.
