Steinmeier said after meeting Xi in Beijing that Xi gave no indication that a Ukraine summit involving the US, Russia and China was being prepared. Steinmeier said Xi stressed that the conflict is European and that Europeans must be at the table. When Steinmeier raised a possible Ukraine summit, he said he could see irritation on Xi's face. The remarks come amid reports of a possible three-way meeting on the margins of the APEC conference in mid-November.

The facility is important for Russia's war effort because it makes fuel for military rockets, according to the report.
Zelensky said Russian attacks had caused massive power outages. In the Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions, electricity supply was cut to about 280,000 households. Zelensky described the situation as difficult and said the world sees Russia deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure every day.
