At a press conference after meeting with NATO's new Secretary General Mark · Rutte, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about Vuhledar that had just fallen, noting that it is more important to preserve the lives of Ukraine servicemen than the town of Vuhledar, "because these are our people, citizens of Ukraine." Therefore, it is quite right that they retreat and preserve themselves, continuing to serve the country and their duties. This is the absolutely correct step. Therefore, we ask that we be given the means, that we be allowed to stop Russia with some kind of weapon, to provide the corresponding systems. ”
On the battlefield, things have also become complicated, as we said before, there is a shift from a Russian offensive and a defensive attack to a mutual offensive and defensive one: reports from the Deep State show that Russian forces are making progress near Chukulino (west of Uklinsk), Yekaterinovka (south of Kurakhovo), Kolesnikovka (south of Kupyansk) and Toretsk;
And in Kursk, the Ukrainian army seized about 10 square kilometers of Russia territory in the western outskirts of the Kursk salient.
The Ukrainian army also attacked Kurchatov, located about 5 km from the Kursk nuclear power plant, using "Hippocampus" rocket artillery, which was confirmed by the "Telegram" channel "SHOT". Kursk Governor Alexei · Smirnov said that the "Hippocampus" rocket launched by the Ukrainian army was shot down by air defense systems, and the wreckage of "Ukraine drones suppressed by electronic warfare systems" caused "outbuildings unrelated to the nuclear power plant" to catch fire, but he did not explain why there were successive explosions.
At present, the Kursk nuclear power plant is still operating normally, and we have seen information that the Ukrainian army hit the Russian army's assembly sites and ammunition storage points near the Kursk nuclear power plant.
In addition, the "Telegram" channel "Spy Files" also revealed that on October 60, the Ukrainian army used 6 suicide drones to attack a Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile position in the village of Zhuravlino in the October district of Kursk, as a result of the attack, as a result of which two launchers were destroyed, one launcher was damaged, and the 55К6Е combat control station was incapacitated.
In general, the current situation is still quite unfavorable for Ukraine, and the Russian army has always kept advancing, even if the situation is not so critical that the entire defense line is about to collapse. In addition to tactical improvements, such as improving battlefield communications, only systems, and charging in the form of squads under the cover of artillery fire, the main advantage of the Russian army is that there are enough expendable resources, in other words, the Russian army has a greater advantage in strength.
"They will not spare anyone, their soldiers are forced to march on the path of the offensive. In the last place of our work, there was an intersection where there were corpses of Russian troops, nevertheless they continued to move forward, because they received orders to attack at all costs. There were already piles of corpses. Everything was blackened by the corpses. ”
According to the order signed by President Putin of Russia, the Russian army will expand its army by 180,000 people, and the scope of conscription includes not only the Russia mainland, but also the "new Russia", that is, the Ukraine territory occupied by the Russia army: Vladimir ·Saldo, the governor of Kherson appointed by the Russia government, announced that the conscription in the Russian-controlled Kherson region has begun, and the conscription targets are men between the ages of 18 and 30, These original Ukraine will be forced to put on Russian uniforms and go to war.
Since the beginning of the "special military operation", the Russian army has been expanding in size, considering that the current production capacity of Russia's military industry has almost reached the limit, and even the production capacity may decline under Western sanctions, and many arsenals in Russia have been destroyed by the Ukrainian army, analysts believe that if Russia wants to continue this war, the only option is to rely on the superiority of troops and greater tolerance for casualties as in history.
Russia President Vladimir Putin has just signed a decree banning the census of Russia for the next five years. Some analysts pointed out that the main purpose of this order is to keep Russians from knowing how much of the able-bodied labor force Russia has lost in the war, which has lasted more than two and a half years, and how many of the able-bodied laborers have fled Russia for fear of being mobilized.
