Ukraine War News Today - Top Stories and Breaking Updates from Kyiv Post

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio cautioned on Monday that the United States might cause significant harm to the International Criminal Court (ICC) if it maintains its stance on prosecuting non-member states. This warning raises concerns about the ICC, which has issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and senior Russian military officials over alleged war crimes in Ukraine.

During a G7 foreign ministers meeting in Paris, Rubio accused the Hague-based court of exceeding its authority and stated that previous US attempts to persuade it to reform had proven unsuccessful.

On the same day, Russian drones targeted residential areas of Kharkiv, causing injuries and property damage. At least six individuals were hurt, and a private house caught fire, with around ten vehicles affected, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov. Later that day, Russian forces launched another drone attack on Kharkiv, this time in the Kholodnohirskyi district, setting a residential building ablaze and damaging about ten vehicles, as reported by local authorities.

Meanwhile, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie formally introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday. The Kentucky Republican accused Hegseth of illegally conducting the Iran war and abusing his authority as Pentagon chief. Massie made these claims in response to Democrats gaining control of both chambers in the recent midterms and preparing broader investigations into the Trump administration.

Massie read the resolution on the House floor, alleging that Hegseth violated the 1973 War Powers Resolution and abused his power as the top military official in the Pentagon.

President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the ongoing crisis on Monday, stating that Russia is attempting to divide Ukraine along the Dnipro River through its attacks on bridges and the power grid. The Ukrainian leader assured the central government's readiness to send additional resources to regions where local authorities are overwhelmed.

Zelensky also urged all levels of government to implement agreed-upon resilience plans. His comments came as Ukraine's negotiating team traveled to Abu Dhabi to participate in trilateral talks with the US and Russia scheduled for the following day, Nov. 10-11.
