Ukraine’s UN rep Khrystyna Hayovyshyn says Kyiv is open to real talks but won’t accept territorial loss, limits on its army, or restrictions on choosing alliances. “Our land is not for sale.” She adds peace requires continued support and pressure on Russia to retreat on all fronts.



Russia’s UN envoy Vasily Nebenzya claims Zelensky forbids acknowledging lost cities, orders troops to hold positions “to the last man,” and blocks retreats. He also says heavy Ukrainian losses are evident from ongoing body exchanges between Russia and Ukraine.

US officials reportedly expect Zelensky to sign the agreement “before Thanksgiving,” aiming to present it in Moscow later this month and wrap it up by early December. The pressure is on Kyiv, to fold quickly, on terms built in Trump’s image.

4 people were killed and 3 injured in a Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia, according to local authorities.


Rescuers have recovered the body of another victim from under the rubble at the site of the russian missile strike in Ternopil.

The death toll has risen to 28.



Zelensky says Ukraine won’t make sharp statements on the U.S. plan yet and confirms he will speak with Trump soon. “The American side has shared its proposals to end the war. We’re focused on clear, honest work with the U.S. and our partners,” he said.


The full 28-point U.S. peace plan for Ukraine, reportedly backed by Trump, has been published by MP Honcharenko. What’s clear is that the so-called Witkoff plan heavily favors Russia while offering little to nothing for Ukraine. This is called capitulation.

my local grocery store just started selling chestnuts. i was amused by this because i never thought of them as a real item you could buy, merely symbols of christmas that exist in song. so i bought one (1) chestnut for a quarter and now its in my toaster oven.

@Gargron I grew up in Sweden, where the edible ones don't grow naturally, so I never saw one until I was adult, probably somewhere in France.

Sweden does have the inedible ones though, which are not edible and very hard. Useful as something you throw when you play as a kid. 🙂

@Gargron careful though - in the UK those are usually horsechestnuts, which AFAIK are not edible.
