Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned citizens to be "prepared for anything" as he quietly expands his deadliest drone factory, according to reports. This comes after he admitted for the first time that the Kremlin was "mistaken" in believing Ukraine would not target oil refineries. The warning signals no hope of ending the invasion, instead vowing more retaliatory strikes.

Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has threatened to tell Putin to "get out of Ukraine" if they meet at the G20 summit in December. The U.S. Will host the summit in Miami, and there are indications Trump may allow Putin to attend despite ongoing tensions.

Other reports suggest Putin denies plans to mobilize more troops, calling such speculation "disinformation." However, he has not ruled out further military action. Some analysts note a shift in tone, with Putin citing a chance for a peace deal, though Kyiv remains skeptical.

Despite these statements, the war continues with no clear resolution in sight.
