> Independent observers and Ukraine’s military say Russian forces seized only 117.38 square kilometres in the first 10 months of 2026, a sharp slowdown from prior years, while estimated casualties rose. Russia intensified long-range attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, killing civilians and leaving many families without power. US traders reportedly refused to honour a diesel deal between Trump and Putin.
