A Russian attack on infrastructure in Odesa, southern Ukraine, killed three people and left one seriously injured, according to the city’s military administration chief, Serhiy Lysak. The attack comes ahead of 10-11 November talks in Abu Dhabi on the war in Ukraine, SABC News reports.

A Russian attack on infrastructure in Odesa, a port city in southern Ukraine, killed three people and left one seriously injured on Monday 9 November, according to Serhiy Lysak, head of the city’s military administration. The injured person was in a serious condition and receiving medical treatment, he said on Telegram.

Serhiy Lysak did not identify the infrastructure targeted. Meanwhile, the Kremlin said that the talks on Ukraine scheduled for this week in Abu Dhabi would bring together Russian, Ukrainian and US delegations in a three-way format, without European representatives, according to its spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

This position contrasts with that of French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, who said on Sunday that French representatives would take part in the 10 and 11 November meeting devoted to ending the war, post-war security guarantees and de-escalation.
