Ukraine (briefly) 

The two hundred-twenty-nineth (229) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military large-scale invasion continues.

russian occupation army, having no achievements on the battlefield, uses terror tactics against the civilian population of Ukraine. Violating the norms of International Humanitarian Law, the laws and customs of warfare, it strikes critical infrastructure, as well as residential buildings.

The enemy has once again launched missile and air strikes on populous peaceful Ukrainian cities. As a result of the massive missile strike, the infrastructure and civilians of more than 20 settlements were damaged during the current day. These are, in particular, Kyiv, Lviv, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia, Pryluky, Nizhyn, Konotop, Kharkiv, Kremenchuk, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Odesa. Civilians died again.

During the day, the occupiers launched more than 84 rocket and air strikes. For attacks on cities and villages, the enemy used cruise, ballistic, anti-aircraft guided missiles and attack unmanned aerial vehicles. The forces and means of the Air Force, as well as the air defence of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, destroyed 56 aerial targets: 43 cruise missiles and 13 unmanned aerial vehicles. The threat of the enemy launching air and missile strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine remains in the future.

At the same time, the enemy is trying to hold the temporarily captured territories, is shelling the positions of our troops, is concentrating its efforts on attempts to disrupt the active actions of the Defence Forces in certain directions, and is conducting offensive actions in the Bakhmut and Avdiivka directions.

In the Volyn and Polissya directions, the situation remains without significant changes. The regime of the self-proclaimed president of the Republic of belarus continues to support russia’s armed aggression, provides bridgeheads for launching strikes on the territory of Ukraine and weapons. At the same time, the formation of an offensive group has not been noted, there is no threat of an attack from the territory of the Republic of belarus as of October 10.

The enemy fired in other directions:

in the Avdiivka direction, the districts of Pervomaiskyi, Vuhledar, Nevelskyi and Maryinka were hit by fire from tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery.

The enemy did not carry out offensive actions in the Novopavlovsk and Zaporizhzhia directions. Zaliznychne, Biloghirya, Vremivka, Dorozhnyanka, Temyrivka, and Chervone came under fire.

In the South Buh direction, the enemy intensified shelling from tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery. During the current day, he carried out more than 93 artillery strikes, which is almost three times more than during the previous day. In addition to the positions of our troops, populated areas were also affected by fire. Nikopol, Vyshchetarasivka and Novokyivka were the most affected.

According to detailed information, as of October 9, the battalion tactical group of the enemy from the 150th motorized rifle division, operating in the Kherson direction and consisting mainly of demobilized servicemen, has already lost more than 520 people killed.

To meet the needs of hospitals in temporarily occupied settlements, which are actively used by the invaders as hospitals, additional groups of medical workers arrive. In the children’s hospital of one of the settlements of Luhansk oblast, the russian occupiers placed their wounded, along with sick children. Among them are former prisoners, representatives of the private military campaign “Wagner”. There are rare cases when children are not treated and discharged to free up beds.

At the same time, the enemy continues to cover himself with the population of the temporarily occupied territories, as a human shield. Thus, in some educational institutions of the Yasynuvata district of the Donetsk oblast , at the same time as the educational process, servicemen of units of the russian occupation forces continue to be accommodated.
