Zelensky proposes meeting in December at the G20 in Moscow, Putin responds by inviting him to Moscow; Russian drone found in Romania

Ukrainian President Zelensky proposes a face-to-face meeting with Putin in December at the G20 in Moscow; the Kremlin responds by inviting him to Moscow. In Romania, a drone was found that crashed in a corn field in the Botoșenița Mare area, Suceava county, causing a small fire and a crater one meter in diameter. During the night, the Khmelnytskyi region of Ukraine was attacked by Russian drones, causing a fire in a commercial business. US special envoy Jared Kushner says Washington has prepared the main part of a deal to end the war, but the obstacle remains Kiev's reluctance to accept Putin's territorial demands.
