On November 6, Ukraine and Russia saw another round of attacks: drones struck energy and industrial facilities on both sides, notably the Kostroma Thermal Power Plant in Russia and several Ukrainian cities. In the Dnipropetrovsk region, drone strikes injured eight people and damaged infrastructure. Russian authorities reported downing 75 drones, while Ukraine announced the destruction of a Russian drone base in Donetsk.
Ukraine’s parliament has preliminarily approved a draft law digitizing and simplifying debt collection processes. Non-payment may lead to automatic account blocking and restrictions on property and vehicle transactions; exceptions apply for those displaced from combat zones. The law is not yet fully in effect and is subject to further review.
The government also decided not to extend import tax benefits for electric vehicles from 2026, potentially increasing prices and sparking public debate about the current pricing and customs system.
Meanwhile, the US government shutdown continues. American soldiers in Europe reportedly face food shortages and delayed payments. Trump stated that Putin recently asked him to help end the war in Ukraine, and also discussed potential nuclear de-escalation initiatives involving the US, Russia, and China. The statements have prompted lively discussion among analysts and politicians.
In summary, the situation remains tense on the front lines and in the political arenas of Europe and the US.
