Украинска криза (Алекс KAJ SE 3X IL-76? neka trepka)

The enemy is blocked and surrounded in Kupyansk and Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk),  Putin said.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are not against allowing the media, including Ukrainian and foreign ones, into the enemy encirclement zone, Putin added.

Russia is concerned that Kiev might stage provocations while the media are in the area where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are encircled, Putin said. He noted that the Russian Armed Forces are ready to cease hostilities in the enemy encirclement zone for the time that media representatives are present there.

Russia is ready to cease hostilities briefly in the area where the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kupyansk and Pokrovsk are surrounded to allow journalists into the area and maintain their safety - Putin stated.

Putin is likely allowing journalists into Kupyansk and Pokrovsk to publicly validate Russian control of those areas and undermine Ukraine’s claims of ongoing advances. It also demonstrates transparency. If we look at Israel currently, they will not let the media in.

A massive shelling is being prepared by Russia which could be one of the largest in the territory of Ukraine: Russia has over 100 cruise missiles ready (80 from aircraft and 40 from sea-based missile carriers), up to 10 "Kinzhal" missiles, ballistic missiles in 4 regions, and from 500 to 900 drones from almost all directions, according to monitors.

Russian reconnaissance has been focusing on targets in the West and in Kyiv.

The situation in Kupiansk has stabilized, and the Russian Federation's claims of encircling the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not true - Interior Minister Klimenko.

Russian military forces have breached the fortified position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and are advancing north of Huliaipole on the border of Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions.

The Ukrainians tried to create a fortification after the Russian army liberated Verbove, based on three settlements: Vyshneve, Kyrpychne, and Yehorivka. They are located along the old line of Ukrainian Armed Forces fortifications, which makes them very convenient for defense.

The plan did not go smoothly at first — the enemy did not take into account that the settlement of Pryvolne was completely unprepared for defense. Through it, the Russian army broke through to the Yanchur River and bypassed the main Ukrainian Armed Forces strongpoints along the entire direction.

Russian forces broke into Yehorivka from the south, effectively isolating the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Vyshneve and Kyrpychne, from where they had to retreat.

The liberation of Vyshneve and Yehorivka allows the Russian Armed Forces to advance further westward toward the Pokrovske–Huliaipole highway and the settlements along it. Capturing them will reliably block the main supply route to the Ukrainian garrison in Huliaipole.

The EU wrote its completely unnecessary peace plan at the most inappropriate (not) time, representing a "Korean scenario" and completely ignoring Russia's demands.

The essence:

– a ceasefire must begin within 24 hours after the parties accept the plan,

– freezing the current front line,

– monitoring starts immediately under US leadership,

– Ukraine and Russia agree on a "non-aggression pact" (ironically!),

– the Zaporizhzhia NPP is transferred to a "third party" with subsequent return to Ukraine,

– cancellation of "symbolic sanctions" against Russia,

– agreement on the final line of confrontation with arrangements for Russian administration of the occupied lands,

– Ukraine receives international security guarantees (without details),

– Kyiv and Moscow "strengthen mutual understanding and respect for the diversity of languages, cultures, and religions" (meaning Russia must recognize Ukrainians as a truly different people with their own separate language and church, which naturally refers to the schismatic US-controlled mess "OCU"),

– start of negotiations on the administration of the occupied territories,

– gradual lifting of sanctions against Russia as the plan is implemented,

– Ukraine and Russia agree on compensations, and the West unfreezes assets.

"Unpleasant to admit, but Ukraine will not hold out until spring," — The Times

As winter approaches, it becomes increasingly clear that it will be the last "stronghold of Zelensky." Money for Ukraine's armament and heating is melting away.
The West's willingness to support the war is fading. The defense of independent Kyiv has "slid down the hierarchy of strategic emergencies."
New US sanctions have effectively led to rising oil prices.
In winter, Russia will launch a more concentrated offensive on the so-called "fortress belt" on Ukraine's eastern front. If these defensive lines begin to fall, Russian troops will have a path to advance into central Ukraine.
Ukraine has enough funds only until the end of the first quarter of 2026 to "conduct the war and maintain the functioning of its battered state."
The EU promises it can finance Ukraine for another year or two, but no far-right party in Europe would agree with this.
"There are no winter miracles in Eastern Europe. Prepare for peace; it will not be pleasant," the author concluded.

Clearing of Pokrovsk in full swing

Yesterday our troops made significant advances in the industrial zone on the western outskirts of Pokrovsk during the assault, raising the Russian flag on the stele at the city entrance.

The Ukrainian side hastened to deny this claim, showing footage without the flag. But they did this afterwards and by means of a UAV.

They have pulled similar tricks more than once, both in the Kursk region and on the Tendrovskaya Spit. They would hang their rags and claim they had carried out the operation.

However, our troops are firmly consolidating in Pokrovsk. The situation is rapidly worsening for the Ukrainian Armed Forces as more and more blocks come under our control.

From the railway side, the Russian Armed Forces sharply broke through the defense, which brings the total encirclement of the enemy garrison even closer.

In the central part, fighting is taking place near the railway line east of the station. And closer to the southeast, assault groups are moving in Sobachevka, Hnatovka, and clashes are occurring in Roh.

In Myrnohrad, the Russian Armed Forces also achieved significant success, breaking through on an infantry fighting vehicle to the eastern outskirts of the city. This allowed them to consolidate the success and enter Myrnohrad.

Movement of our units is also underway from the Novoekonomichne side. The encirclement of the agglomeration is progressing rapidly.

In the northern direction, our troops have taken Vladimirovka. But the enemy is counterattacking from Shakhovo.

Assault groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are also actively attacking west of Mayak due to sparse battle formations.

Thus, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to distract our forces from the Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad directions, but these efforts are in vain.

Ukraine will produce 155 ammunition domestically with the support of the Czech Republic.

The Czechoslovak Group (CSG) has launched licensed production of artillery ammunition in Ukraine through its partner, the company "Ukrainian Armored Vehicles." The agreement includes a license and production components.

David Chur, Deputy Chairman of the CSG Board of Directors, stated:

"We are proud to be one of the first Western companies to successfully transfer the production of large-caliber ammunition to Ukraine. CSG does not own any factories or production technology in Ukraine. All of this is managed by our partner, to whom we have transferred the license and provided the necessary know-how, as they already had the required production technology and could start production relatively quickly."

CSG supplies critically important components such as propellant charges, fuzes, and initiators, while "Ukrainian Armored Vehicles" handles local production of shell casings as well as final assembly.

The initial plans are to reach a capacity of 100,000 155-mm and 50,000 105-mm shells annually. Later, these numbers are expected to increase, and production of fuzes will also be transferred to Ukraine.

Right now, Zelensky and Syrsky are desperately throwing reserves from everywhere into this direction, but they are exposing other directions. It is also dangerous now in the Chernihiv region, the Russians are heavily shelling it. They knocked out the power, are hitting the railway and now they are hitting communications. There are reports of a strike on the TV tower in Chernihiv (above).

The front has begun to clear in 3-4 places, and the General Staff cannot develop a defensive strategy.

The prospect of such a breakthrough is zero. But they have already gathered a couple of battalion tactical groups near Dobropillia in the settlement Bilorzerske.

Everyone is shouting about Pokrovsk, but the problem in the city is not only that we do not have full control over it and risk losing it soon, which is not the worst thing, because the biggest problem in this situation is the people and units that are at the bottom of this pocket between Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad (even to the south and southeast of it); and this is not just about problematic logistics or something else, simply — the question of the possibility of withdrawal or carrying out other maneuvers as such.

I will say, perhaps an unpopular opinion for Ukrainians, but I would sacrifice the ruins of Pokrovsk to save the lives of all these people, because judging by the operational-tactical situation, we will come to the option of losing the city sooner or later, but whether we will save the people until that moment and if so, how many — is an open question.

Trump changed his mind about strengthening sanctions against Russia after meeting with Xi Jinping. According to Bloomberg, the US president didn't even raise the topic of Russian oil during their conversation, despite previously publicly demanding that Beijing stop buying it.

Trump will face more serious challenges from more powerful adversaries, including Russia and China, who are determined to demonstrate that his toughness is a bluff and are pursuing geopolitical projects that run counter to US interests, the publication notes.

Experts argue that Trump's behavior undermines the entire purpose of US sanctions policy. But right now, it's more important for the White House to maintain the fragile truce with China, because real pressure on Beijing will inevitably provoke a harsh response and jeopardize the barely reached agreements.

In 2025 alone, the cost of conducting hostilities will be $100-110 billion, which is a record amount and equals half of Ukraine's GDP, the article says.

"Although Trump claims that his administration seeks peace 'through strength,' his recent actions and rhetoric paint a more complex picture, making allies wonder which version of Trump's policy on Ukraine will prevail in the next phase"

Politico: The EC may take measures against Hungary, Slovakia and Poland due to the decision to block grain imports from Ukraine

The article emphasizes that the introduced restrictions contradict the norms of the single market, and as a result, the three countries may be involved in legal proceedings.

Their national bans on Ukrainian grain and other agricultural products violate the rules of the European Union's single market, the article notes.

Last year, mass farmers' protests swept across EU countries, demanding a change in the pan-European agricultural policy, removal of numerous restrictions including environmental ones, and a halt to uncontrolled imports of cheap foreign products, primarily Ukrainian.

The Russian Ministry of Defense commented on Kyiv's refusal to allow foreign journalists access to the Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel stationed in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad:

"Yesterday's statement by Ukrainian Foreign Ministry representative Heorhiy Tykhyi, prohibiting foreign and Ukrainian media from attempting to reach Ukrainian servicemen trapped in the 'cauldrons' through territory liberated by Russia, became an official admission of the catastrophic situation for the remnants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Krasnoarmiisk, Dymytrov, and Kupiansk.

Thus, the official representative of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry confirmed that there are no other ways for journalists or the Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen themselves to enter or exit the 'cauldrons' except through the Russian 'safety corridors.'

The ban on entry into these 'cauldrons' via corridors provided by the Russian Ministry of Defense for foreign and Ukrainian media is necessary for the Kyiv regime to conceal the real state of affairs on the front and to deceive the international community and the people of Ukraine.

The ultimate goal of these actions is to preserve favorable conditions for the Kyiv regime's leadership to receive and continue embezzling financial resources sent by Western sponsors for the war against Russia."

Situational update from the Pokrovsk Direction as of 31/10/25 06:00 (Kyiv Time):

In short, the situation is catastrophic for Ukraine. I estimate that there is a BARE MINIMUM of 500 soldiers effectively cut off in and around Myrnohrad, however some successful withdrawals have taken place.

In Pokrovsk City, Russian forces continued their advance towards the northern outskirts and now control the majority of the city. They have captured the rest of the northwestern industrial zone and broke out of the city limits to the nearby treelines. Here, they were able to infiltrate all the way to the outskirts of the stronghold village Hryshyne where Ukraine's main defences are located. Reinforcements from elements of the 32nd Mechanised Brigade were successfully withdrawn from northern Pokrovsk and are now deployed in Hryshyne alongside the 68th "Jaeger" Brigade.

However, the main Russian push on this axis has been towards the Ukrainian strongpoints southeast of Hryshyne. These strongpoints were bombed with several FAB glide-bombs, including a FAB-3000, completely destroying them. Russian soldiers are now attempting to cross the dam next to the reservoir and enter the treelines where these strongpoints are located, while simultaneously infiltrating further into the northernmost neighbourhoods of Pokrovsk.

In the city centre, Russian forces were able to clear the remaining pockets of Ukrainian resistance in the Pervomaika District and city centre, capturing Pokrovsk's Administrative building and railway station. With these new areas secured, FPV drone pilots have been deployed to the central suburbs of Pokrovsk, while forward deployment and accumulation points were set up in the southern suburbs, allowing for a significant increase in the supply of heavy weaponry and vehicles into the city.

In the eastern suburbs, after dislodging Ukraine from their main defensive stronghold, the Russians achieved a breakthrough to the northern outskirts of Pokrovsk. Small, mobile Ukrainian assault groups are attempting to clear them out but are having no success due to Russian numerical superiority and the fluidity of the frontline. Russian forces have since advanced east, bypassing the high-rise district from the north and capturing the church area. They also entered the main factory in the eastern suburbs of the city, where they are attempting to push towards the park.

In the southeastern suburbs of Pokrovsk, Russian forces fully consolidated west of the highway and entered the villages of Hnativka and Rih. Neither village has been brought under full control, but Russian presence here is significant.

In southern Myrnohrad, Ukrainian forces withdrew from their main defensive positions in the 3-story-buildings after being bombed by numerous FABs, with very few soldiers remaining in the southern suburbs of the city. Some forces are now stationed in the northern suburbs of the city, while others attempted to escape the pocket through the small corridor of fields while being targeted by Russian artillery and FPV drones. As a result, the Russians were able to capture practically all of southeastern Myrnohrad, along with the terykon, and reached the central high-rise district.

In the northeastern suburbs of Myrnohrad, Russian forces managed to dismount and enter the main high-rise district here. They quickly gained a foothold and linked up with other forces advancing from the treeline further north. At least 10 high-rise buildings are under their control now. Artillery and FAB strikes are targeting the main Ukrainian defensive positions in the western part of this high-rise district, ahead of the Russian advance. Additionally, they were able to enter the city at a new point, advancing from the Kapitalna Industrial Zone to the low-rise residential areas, where at least 12 blocks were brought under their control.

In northern Myrnohrad, after clearing the forested areas and dachas, Russian forces established a foothold in the first couple rows of high-rise buildings and are now attempting to consolidate in the local school and surrounding residential areas.

Overall, the situation here remains catastrophic for Ukrainian forces. They are finally beginning the withdrawal from these two major cities, but many troops are still stuck, and many more will be killed attempting to escape the pocket. The fact that positions still exist in Lysivka and Sukhyi Yar - over 14 km deep into the pocket - show the current priorities of the Ukrainian command when it comes to their PR cities such as these ones.

Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad ARE strategically important, and anyone telling you otherwise either doesn't know what they are talking about or is outright lying. The Ukrainian command has once again betrayed their troops, and those online lying about the true situation unfolding have done so too.

Only time will tell what will happen after the fall of these cities, but it is known that Russia will soon gain a major logistical hub in the Donbas which will undoubtably help significantly in their future operations in this direction. Remember - all the fronts feed into each other, and developments elsewhere (especially in adjacent sectors) could be crucial to how this direction develops in the future.

"India has resumed purchasing oil from Russia.

Earlier, Indian Oil Corp canceled the delivery of 7-8 shipments of Russian oil after Trump announced sanctions, as the supplies were made by subsidiaries of Rosneft and Lukoil.

Now the refinery has purchased five shipments of oil from entities not subject to sanctions, with delivery in December. Sources did not specify who the seller is."

The head of the SBU, Malyuk, stated that Ukraine destroyed one of Russia's three "Oreshnik" systems on its territory the summer before last.

He claims that this happened at the Kapustin Yar training ground in the summer of 2023, but Ukraine decided to report it only now.

This was done by the special services, but Malyuk does not specify how exactly.

Recall that after this, Russia used the "Oreshnik" against Ukraine at the end of 2024.

Russia stated in the summer that it had already started serial production of this weapon.

The internet dissected the presentation video of the Ukrainian "Flamingo" missile. It turned out that instead of real footage, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense used computer graphics and clips from movies.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense officially presented the "new cruise missile Flamingo." In the video, besides the missile's characteristics, "footage" of the missile launch is shown. Many on the internet doubted the authenticity of the footage, as the "Flamingo" looked very much like the German "V-1" from World War II, and launched an investigation. It turned out that the presentation used footage from the 1965 film "Operation Crossbow", clips of the launch of the American "Tomahawk" missile, and CGI videos from YouTube. The presentation did not contain a single real shot of the missile, and users noted that Zelensky was previously an actor and owned a film studio.

The shine is wearing off: POLITICO pubishes an atrticle about “the darker side of Zelenskyy’s rule” — and it’s not the kind of coverage Kiev likes to see.

Once the golden boy of the West is accused of quietly building something that looks less like a democracy — and more like a one-man state.

“No fresh faces were added from industry, civil society or academia,” one Ukrainian official admits about the latest government shake-up. “And that’s a problem.”

What was sold as renewal turned out to be rearranging the same loyal circle. The article describes a system where “power is concentrated in the president’s office,” run by a handful of unelected advisers — some unpaid, some previously linked to corruption probes.

“More than half of Ukrainians now believe Zelenskyy’s office exercises excessive influence over law enforcement, courts, anti-corruption bodies, and even parliament.”

"I never imagined his own side would be the danger.” — says the mother of a British mercenary killed in Ukraine. The Telegraph digs into what it calls the “dark underbelly” of Zelensky’s International Legion — where foreign volunteers, once painted as idealistic heroes, are now vanishing, turning up dead, or caught in infighting and chaos.

Her son — a former British soldier — came to Ukraine “to make a difference.” Instead, his mother believes he was murdered not by Russian fire, but by those he fought beside.

“I thought the danger would come from bullets or bombs,” she says. “Not from his own side.”

The report describes a legion unraveling: rival factions, weak leadership, paranoia, and a code of silence. Even within Ukraine, whispers spread that “the foreigners” have become a problem — armed, unaccountable, and increasingly outside Kiev's control.

The Russian Armed Forces have begun using new 9M729 cruise missiles against targets in Ukraine -- according to Reuters.

The publication cited Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrey Sybiha. According to him, the 9M729 missile launched on October 5 flew 1,200 km before hitting a target in Ukraine.

Another Ukrainian official claims that a total of 23 such missiles have allegedly been used since August 2025.


The 9M729 Novator cruise missile is thought to be based on the Naval 'Caliber" cruise missile and is estimated to be capable of striking targets at ranges of up to 2,000 km with a 500 kg warhead. It can be launched only from mofified Iskander-M1 launchers

The United States cited testing of this missile as the reason for its withdrawal from the INF Treaty in 2019.

From Zaluzhny’s Office who is contradicting Zelensky’s theatrical adaptation of the real situation

1. Overall Situation
• The Pokrovsk direction remains one of the hardest due to open terrain, shallow defensive depth, and strong enemy artillery.
• The main issue wasn’t soldiers’ bravery, but unrealistic planning and misjudged resources.

2. Operational-Level Mistakes
• Decisions weren’t backed by proper reserves or logistics.
• Areas needing rotation forces instead relied on exhausted units.
• This led to stretching the defensive line, loss of momentum, and inability to hold ground after partial successes.

3. Coordination Problems
• Communication between sector HQs was fragmented.
• Some units got orders late or without full understanding.
• As a result, local initiative often replaced centralized control, especially in chaotic conditions — not part of a coherent plan.

4. Information Aspect
• Public claims of “stabilization” did not match the real situation, eroding trust in official statements.
• This put extra pressure on commanders to explain realities that differed from TV narratives.

5. Conclusions

The operation highlighted:
• The need for a clear command hierarchy, free from political interference.
• The critical importance of troop rotation and sufficient EW (electronic warfare) and air defence at brigade level.
• The need for honest situation assessments — no euphemisms or blame-shifting.

Final statement:

“We must openly admit: any withdrawal is not a defeat if it saves lives and allows regrouping — but only if it’s part of a rational plan, not chaos.”

He’s admitting it’s lost. There were a lot of confused emojis on the Ukro channels…wouldn’t take a lot to be fair.

If we lose these cities and this is what is happening, it will affect the course of the entire war. Next is Pavlohrad, the road is straight as a string and a hat instead of fortifications. An immediate change is needed, first of all, incompetent political idiots, as well as personnel changes in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The positions of the Supreme Commander and Commander-in-Chief must be united, and Mykhailo Drapatyi should take this position. Lies and corruption are killing us more than the orcs. The green ones have led the country into a dead end, instead of proper personnel, economic, and military decisions, there are cartoons about flamingos and a terrible reality. PS: more to come.

Rezident:

Our sources in the General Staff reported that the first wave of the counteroffensive on Pokrovsk failed, but Syrsky received an order from Yermak to unblock the city at any cost. We lost the GUR special forces and several elite units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while AZOV again refused to enter the Pokrovsk funnel.

They also reported that the Ukrainian have already begun to retreat from Myrnohrad without orders.

Syrsky promised to unblock Pokrovsk within a week and ordered to hold positions, but those on the front line don’t believe the statements of the general-200.

Overnight, roughly 18 Geran-2 (Shahed-type) drones attacked Izmail on Ukraine’s southwestern border.

Confirmed impacts:
— 110 kV electrical substation sustained a direct hit, igniting a large fire.
— Village of Safyany, secondary strikes recorded, possibly targeting the nearby solar farm.

The strikes appear aimed at regional energy infrastructure, consistent with Russia’s renewed focus on Ukraina’s power grid ahead of winter.

Ukrainian channel: The General Staff fears that the military retreating without orders will collapse the front inside the Pokrovskaya funnel and lead to mass surrenders. Currently, Syrsky promises field commanders support, asks them to hold out for a week, and then help will arrive. The Commander-in-Chief is now transferring several thousand troops from Kharkiv and Sumy, but reserves are catastrophically insufficient. The General Staff demands the declaration of a general mobilization.

Ukrainian kamikaze drones attacked the deep-water berth of an oil product transshipment terminal in Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai.

Also a substation in Zheleznogorsk, Kursk Oblast, and a substation in Alchevsk, LPR were also attacked

The Telegraph: Trump consistently refuses to support Ukraine

"Trump realized that he cannot allow Ukraine to lose, especially if he is blamed for it. <...> He is putting maximum pressure on the Europeans to fill the funding gaps," says the former UK Foreign Secretary Hunt.

The newspaper writes that Trump's policy towards Ukraine has become consistent. The US, according to the publication, "will not allow Russia to win, but will not ask Congress to approve aid packages to Ukraine either."

Trump will expect Europe to take on the "lion's share" of the costs of support.

In addition, any weapons will not be given away for free but sold to Kyiv on commercial terms, notes The Telegraph.

Pole will pay for the Ukrainian.

The Polish authorities are forcing the citizens of the republic to pay interest on Ukraine's debts.

This was written by Sejm deputy Grzegorz Płaczek on his social media page.

The politician cited data from the Polish Ministry of Finance, according to which Warsaw plans to pay more than 110 million zlotys to Ukrainian creditors by the end of the year, which is approximately $30 million.

The republic intends to pay the same amount over the next two years, although Ukraine has not submitted an application for this to the European Commission.

He emphasized that the application has not yet been submitted, but Poland already knows it will pay the interest, despite the absence of a corresponding request from Kyiv.

"It turns out that, given the rapidly growing budget deficit and national debt, we, Polish taxpayers, will be contributing for years to the repayment of the Ukrainian debt?" — wrote Płaczek.

New additional footage of the elimination of GUR militants.

The video shows the destruction of Ukrainian roosters who fancied themselves Rambo and landed right under our drones.

Before even reaching the buildings, they were already being hit, but even in the urban area the pies couldn’t hide. Here the UAV operators found and destroyed them.

As a result of a brilliant operation, personally led by Budanov, Russia lost one or two dozen drones, and Ukraine lost a dozen khokhols. Powerful. Pokrovsk stands.

The recent Ukrainian special forces landing near Pokrovsk was a “tactically illiterate decision,” according to Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov, who now serves in the National Guard.

He criticized the operation, saying that deploying two small groups in open terrain within a kill zone under Russian drone surveillance was suicidal in modern warfare. Such maneuvers, he noted, immediately expose troops to precision strikes, including guided bombs.

Butusov added that two squads cannot change the situation in a city where several brigades are already fighting and struggling with logistics. He also condemned the tendency to glorify failed operations with propaganda instead of honest assessment, leading to repeated losses that are never publicly acknowledged.

The Russian Defense Ministry reports that the entire GUR landing force was destroyed — a claim Kiev denies.
