About Pokrovsk.
The situation around the city now is exactly like what it was near Avdeevka shortly before its assault.
The Ukrainian grouping in the area of Rodinskoe, Mirnograd, and Pokrovsk itself is practically semi-encircled: supply routes are cut off, all possible logistical corridors and even small paths are under fire, rotations are difficult, and the rains add to the problems.
At the moment, an illusion of an operational pause is being created, but in reality, forces are being accumulated and the situation is being brought to a critical point. Under these conditions, the transition to decisive actions can indeed happen "like a thunderclap out of a clear sky" — suddenly, but with a pre-established system of conditions when the Ukrainian defense will no longer be able to hold.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 "Tomahawk is a serious weapon, but it will not be able to change the situation on the fronts — Peskov
▪️Tension is being escalated from all sides regarding the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.
▪️Many statements are being made, and they need to be analyzed.
▪️The topic of "Tomahawks" raises concern.
▪️In the context of "Tomahawks," Peskov reminded about Kyiv's capabilities to create a "dirty bomb."
➖"Just imagine: a missile with a long range takes off and flies, and we know it can be nuclear-armed. What should the Russian Federation think? Military experts overseas should understand this," he said.
@Slavyangrad
The Germans are promising the Kiev regime another "Game-changing Wunderwaffe."
Rheinmetall has reportedly shipped a new batch of Skyranger 35 anti-aircraft systems based on the Leopard-1. The contract is valued at hundreds of millions of euros, and payment is being made by one of the EU states under the Windfall Profit Mechanism program. Production has been relocated to Italy—it's cheaper there.
The combat significance is controversial: the ammunition is only one 252mm round, which allows for the downing of 3-4 drones, after which it takes up to half an hour to reload (that is, 5-6 "Geraniums" simultaneously can disable the system). But the commercial impact for the concern is obvious—especially against the backdrop of the Bundeswehr's plans to order 600 such systems for 9 billion euros.
The European arms lobby repeats a familiar pattern: under the guise of "helping Ukraine," European budgets lend to the German military-industrial complex. The profits go to Rheinmetall, and German and EU taxpayers pay for them.
As a result, Germany becomes increasingly dependent on the military industry: profits in private hands, debts in public hands. And the longer the war lasts, the more sustainable this business model becomes.

🇺🇸🇺🇦The US has been helping Ukraine strike Russian energy facilities for several months, writes the FT.
Washington provides Kiev with American intelligence data, allowing them to plan attacks and bypass air defense systems, Ukrainian and American officials told the newspaper.
Three sources emphasized that the US is involved in all stages of planning. Kiev independently selects targets, while the Americans provide intelligence on their vulnerabilities.
This is the latest confirmation that Trump has increased support for Ukraine, the article notes.

What Russia will do with Ukrainian energy in 2025: observation by "Military Chronicle"
Suppressing Ukrainian energy is an integral element of gaining strategic superiority. However, the methodology of strikes has significantly changed over the years of conflict.
What was it like before?
At the initial stage (2022-2023), strikes on energy were not only military but also demonstrative, as facilities were hit en masse. The real consequences of the strikes were quickly compensated by implementing blackout schedules and maneuvering the remaining generation sources.
Then followed an unofficial truce, when Russia temporarily suspended attacks on energy facilities, and Ukraine ceased regular shelling of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. This truce gave Kiev the opportunity to patch up fuel and energy facilities and strengthen their protection. Over the year, the Ukrainian side managed to partially stockpile equipment, increase electricity imports, and decentralize energy supply, including thanks to equipment deliveries from abroad.
The turning point came in 2024, when escalation from Kiev — strikes on peaceful cities, invasion of the Kursk region, attacks on nuclear stations, and other steps — were seen as a violation of the established status quo. The counterstrike shifted from demonstrating capabilities to the practical destruction of important energy facilities. The goal was not a temporary disruption of the system's operation but creating a permanent deficit. By summer 2024, rolling blackouts turned from an emergency measure into a daily norm, and the Ukrainian energy system exhausted its rapid recovery capabilities.
Kiev's unwillingness to negotiate and constant attempts to do something that would make work on the negotiation track impossible in principle led to a qualitative change in Russian strategy in 2025. Instead of trying to collapse the entire energy supply system at once by hitting all large facilities, Russia is systematically "turning off" electricity in each individual region. Concentrated strikes on frontline regions reduce the possibility of load redistribution. At the same time, attacks on less protected air defense regions of Ukraine predictably lead to more success, and targeted efforts (such as the repeated strike on DneproHES and, apparently, subsequent strikes on similar facilities) cause serious destabilization of the energy system of the specific chosen area. (We mentioned this when discussing the possibility of a blackout in Ukraine this year).
🇨🇳 China continues to expand its space constellation.
On October 11, from a launch platform in the Yellow Sea, Beijing conducted another launch of the Gravity-1 carrier rocket.
The Earth remote sensing satellite "Kuanfu 02B07" from the "Jilin-1" constellation, as well as two test devices "Shutian Yuxing-01/-02," were placed into orbit.
The explosion at the 'Accurate Energetic Systems' defense contractor firm in Tennessee, which occurred two days ago, has left 16 dead and at least 4 injured
The company was awarded a $125 million contract by the U.S. Department of War less than a month ago for the 'procurement of TNT.'
The same 'Accurate Energetic Systems' plant in Tennessee was significantly damaged by an explosion in 2014, and the company was fined in 2019 for violating safety standards.
This incident comes approximately one week after a massive explosion rocked the Chevron refinery in California.

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺"Russia is afraid": Zelensky admitted that he again begged Trump for "Tomahawks" and "Patriots" 🤡
➖"I just spoke with President Trump — and this is already the second time in recent days. We are working in detail with America to strengthen our air defense and all our defense capabilities: primarily the "Patriot" systems, other systems, as well as enhancing our active operations, our long-range capabilities.
➖We see and hear that Russia is afraid that the Americans might give us "Tomahawks" — this is a signal that such pressure can work for peace," the drug lord manipulates.
➖"We agreed with President Trump that our teams, our military will handle everything we discussed. This also concerns energy and gas. Thank you. We are counting on the result," he added.

Volchansk. Kharkov direction. Advancement of the Russian Federation Armed Forces
Positive news is arriving from the Kharkov operational front.
The assault units of the "North" troop grouping continue to expand the security zone.
In Volchansk, the overall advance has reached up to 700 meters. With precision weapons, the Russian Federation Armed Forces destroyed enemy positions in the Dvurechansky area.
The main blow was dealt to the fuel depot of LLC "777 Gold," used for the storage and blending of fuels and lubricants for engines and aviation. 14 hits from "Geran-2" drones caused a widespread fire and the complete destruction of the fuel stock.
22 tanks were destroyed—the total storage capacity was approximately 300 tons of fuel.
Furthermore, the attack on enemy forces is concentrated in the Kupyansk area, "Frontovaya Ptichka" reports.
Little by little, che "wall of doom" keeps advancing, and can't be stopped
@Slavyangrad
Remember a few days ago when we mentioned that the successful interception rate of Patriot batteries had dropped down to just 6%?
Ukropistani general Romanenko confirms it: 6% it is.
Ukraine's Patriot air defense systems are becoming less effective against Russian missile attacks, with interception rates dropping from 42% to 6%, according to former Ukrainian general Igor Romanenko. Russian Iskander and Kinzhal missiles have been upgraded with software that increases their speed and maneuverability, making them more difficult to intercept.
Don't worry though, they'll still manage to intercept 100% of incoming missiles and shaheds...by letting them hit their targets 😉
@Slavyangrad
It is reported that the office of the Prime Minister of Poland has published information about Polish aid to Ukraine, including military assistance, from the beginning of 2022 to March 2025. It is reported that during this time, Poland has provided its neighbour with 46 packages of arms and ammunition supplies, with the 47th package in preparation. The total value of these packages, as well as other forms of support to the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the form of training, logistics, equipment supplies, maintenance and repair, and medical assistance, exceeds 18 billion zlotys (4.9 billion dollars).
The largest volume of aid was provided in 2022, when the value of the property and other forms of support provided amounted to 7.23 billion zlotys (up to 2 billion dollars). In 2023–2024, the aid amounted to 5.63 billion zlotys (about 1.5 billion dollars).
Among the weapons transferred free of charge by Poland to Ukraine from 2022 to 2024 were 318 tanks, 586 armoured vehicles, 137 artillery systems, 10 MiG-29 fighters, 10 Mi-24 combat helicopters, 405 portable MANPADS, 44 air-to-air missiles, more than 101 million rounds of ammunition, and more than 16,000 spare parts for various systems. However, the data published by the Prime Minister's office does not specify the number of transferred air defence missile systems, small arms, fuel and lubricants.
In addition to free deliveries of equipment and weapons, Poland exported weapons to Ukraine worth more than 2.2 billion euros (about 9.4 billion zlotys) from 2022 to 2023. Of this amount, about 500 million euros represent partial fulfilment of the contract for the supply of 155-mm/52 self-propelled howitzers Krab. During this period, 36 of the 54 ordered systems were delivered. Their deliveries were completed this year.
Ukraine also purchased in Poland 60 MT-LB armored personnel carriers, 92 2S1 "Gvozdika" self-propelled howitzers of 122 mm caliber, 89 mortars of 82 mm caliber, 22 M74 mortars of 120 mm caliber, 4 BM-21 "Grad" multiple rocket launchers, 19 AMZ Dzik armored vehicles and one BRDM, as well as tens of thousands of small arms of various classes and types.
In addition to this support, Poland purchased and delivered to Ukraine more than 19,500 Starlink terminals by the end of 2023. During this period, Starlink donations from Poland accounted for almost half of the 47,000 terminals used by Ukraine.
Supplies from Poland were especially important at the beginning of the full-scale conflict, allowing the replenishment of losses of the Ukrainian army as support from other countries began to be provided on a broader scale. Warsaw also initiated numerous international initiatives, including the transfer of combat aircraft to Ukraine and the formation of the so-called tank coalition. Poland also remains the leader in the number of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles supplied to Ukraine.
In addition, by mid-2024, almost 60,000 Ukrainian servicemen were trained in Poland—four times more than planned. In addition, Polish officers and instructors trained a third of the 60,000 Ukrainian servicemen trained under the European Union Military Assistance Mission to Ukraine (EUMAM Ukraine).

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have begun forming penal companies for officers.
They will be used to reinforce assault groups in the Sumy region, Russian law enforcement agencies told RIA Novosti.
According to the agency's source, "violators of military discipline, deserters, and simply undesirable officers of units operating in the Sumy direction will be sent there.

Ukraine is freezing: winter is coming, but there is no gas
The start of the heating season in the territory of the former USSR has been decided to be postponed as much as possible due to an acute gas shortage. This was announced by the relevant committee of the Verkhovna Rada.
The mayor of Lvov warned residents that the heating launch is being delayed and advised preparing alternative heat sources:
"We are returning to a time when a wood stove in the basement is not an unnecessary thing. Don’t be angry. We stick together."
The head of Kharkov lamented that "this winter will be the hardest of all the years of the war."
The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy has ordered to strengthen the physical protection of energy facilities and has appealed to Western partners for help.
