US president Donald Trump has said that Washington was seeing a “very strong inclination” to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, adding that both sides were “tired of fighting”.

A US official earlier also said that Russia and Ukraine were privately showing some “flexibility” over a possible territorial exchange ahead of the peace talks in Abu Dhabi.

Trump had earlier also suggested that a peace deal could involve reshaping Ukraine. “I think we’re gonna have it done, and I think it’s gonna happen and they’re gonna end up with a little bit different shape Ukraine,” Trump said in an interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes.

Asked whether Russian president Vladimir Putin was deliberately prolonging negotiations, Trump replied: “Oh, I don’t think so.”

Meanwhile, according to data leaked from Russia’s Kremlin statistics agency, at least 390,000 Russians have been killed in the Ukraine war.

Two separate hacker groups, Silent Crown and Belarus Cyber Partisans, claimed responsibility for cyberattacks on the Kremlin’s ‘Rosstat’ statistics agency where they alleged to steal data on Russia’s economy, demographics and wartime losses, according to the Moscow Times.

Russian forces have struck the Trypillia thermal power plant in Kyiv region, raising concerns about further damage to the country’s already strained energy infrastructure ahead of winter.

Ukraine’s state-owned energy company Centrenergo said that the full extent of the damage was still being assessed.
