Starlink Restored: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Starlink and military-grade Starshield are back at pre-restriction speeds, restoring a vital link for frontline communications, logistics and drone defence after more than a week of disruption. Deep Strikes: Ukrainian drones hit a petrochemical plant and an Ozon logistics hub in Omsk, while attacks also cut power and water in occupied Crimea. Russian strikes killed three people in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region; Moscow-backed officials also reported three deaths in occupied Kharkiv region. Humanitarian Access: Ukraine and Russia agreed to a local ceasefire around occupied Oleshky to allow aid deliveries and civilian evacuations. Ukraine’s ombudsman says Pope Leo XIV’s envoy, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, has also been allowed to visit Ukrainian prisoners of war for the first time since the full-scale invasion. Diplomacy and Defence: Ukrainian, Russian and U.S. negotiators are expected to meet in early November, likely in Abu Dhabi or Switzerland, though major differences remain. Zelenskyy says Ukraine received just 24 Patriot interceptors from the U.S. in the past 90 days as Kyiv presses partners for more air-defence support.
