Reports dated 1 November remain largely single-source and unverified. Russia claims advances in Kupyansk District and renewed assaults on Kostyantynivka's flanks near Maiske; Ukraine claims counterattacks near Kramatorsk and east of Lyman. Zelenskyy says Russia struck energy infrastructure in at least four regions, leaving tens of thousands without power. Ukrainian drones reportedly hit the Kstovo refinery, with fires persisting. A localized truce around Oleshky in Kherson, reportedly brokered by Melania Trump, is set to expire Sunday evening; civilians are reportedly being evacuated. Trump's claims that a deal is close rest on a single channel and remain unconfirmed.
