Unveiled by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier this week, Kyiv’s "victory plan" hopes to compel Russia to end its invasion of Ukraine through negotiations. The proposal is being considered by Ukraine’s Western partners, whose help is vital for Kyiv to resist its bigger neighbor. Zelenskyy said Saturday that he expects that the brigade would be in Ukraine by the end of November. Russia also received the bodies of 89 of its soldiers, Russian lawmaker Shamsayil Saraliyev told reporters. Elsewhere, the Russian Defense said that it shot down 16 Ukrainian drones over Russia’s Bryansk, Rostov, and Belgorod regions in early Saturday.
