> Ukraine is pressing to bring its trilateral talks with Russia and the United States forward by at least a week and persuaded U.S. officials to change the date. A source on President Volodymyr Zelensky’s team said winter shortages of electricity, water and heating make every day count. Russia had not confirmed the new date as of October 25, and Ukrainian negotiators do not expect an early breakthrough.
