Russia planning strikes on Ukraine's food industry, military intelligence source says

Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukraine's food supply chains in recent months. In August, Russian strikes hit distribution centers belonging to major supermarket chains, including Silpo and Novus, leaving some Kyiv stores with empty shelves and shortages of everyday products such as vegetables, dairy, and meat.

Daryl Fladung, a 38-year-old security guard from Queensland, traveled to Moscow in April despite having no military experience or known family ties to Eastern Europe.

Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence chief Rustem Umerov earlier said that "the agenda includes key questions related to ending hostilities and moving closer to peace."

In total, 249 MPs supported Bill No. 14327-d, which brings Ukrainian regulation in line with EU standards, in its first reading, lawmaker Yaroslav Zhelezniak from the Holos Party reported on his Telegram channel.

"The main priority is our security and strengthening our defense. There will be new steps to enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities — a strong defense package from Denmark,"

The bill is a necessary step toward completing Ukraine's accession to the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (OECD).

Russian forces launched one Iskander-M ballistic missile and 162 long-range attack drones at Ukraine overnight on Nov. 9.

The number includes 2,220 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

"Our key priorities are ending the fighting, securing reliable postwar security guarantees, ensuring Ukraine's economic recovery and development, and taking humanitarian steps," Foreign Intelligence chief Rustem Umerov said.

"It came to our knowledge that Vadym Golda has already been transferred to the medical-correctional facility in Russia's Tambov region, placing his health — both physical and mental — at an even more serious risk," Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said.

The attack may have targeted the 123rd Aircraft Repair Plant in the town of Staraya Russa, according to the Exilenova+ Telegram monitoring channel. The facility specializes in repairing and maintaining Russian military transport aircraft.

The remarks come ahead of U.S.-mediated peace talks in Abu Dhabi, scheduled for Nov. 10–11.

Centrenergo, Ukraine's state-owned energy company, claimed that the impact of the latest Russian strikes appears significant, though the extent of the damage is not yet clear and will require further inspection.

"Providing this support is an indivisible responsibility shared by us all," Merz said.
