"On Wednesday, Andrei Kartapolov, a senior Russian lawmaker, said: We know these missiles very well, how they fly, how to shoot them down, we worked on them in Syria, so there is nothing new. Only those who supply them and those who use them will have problems We will find ways to hurt those who cause us trouble."
"Ukrainian forces were inflicting heavy losses in a counteroffensive in eastern Donetsk region, the war's main theatre, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday. The Ukrainian president's account, based on a report by his top commander, contrasted with Putin's address to senior Russian officers a day earlier in which he said Moscow's forces held the strategic initiative in all frontline sectors."
"Zelenskyy said he spoke for almost an hour to Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi, with particular attention on the Dobropillia operation, our counteroffensive. Ukraine has pointed to successes in Dobropillia, just north of the logistics hub of Pokrovsk, one of Russia's key targets. In an assessment dated 7 October, the ISW said Russia was incurring heavy casualty rates, particularly from Ukrainian drone attacks, in return for limited tactical advances."
Russia is running a reflexive control campaign of threats aimed at deterring US supplies of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine. A senior Russian lawmaker warned that Russia knows the missiles' flight profiles and shooting-down methods and vowed to harm those who supply or use them. The Russian deputy foreign minister said momentum toward a peace deal after the Putin–Trump Alaska meeting had largely dissipated. Ukrainian forces are inflicting heavy losses in a Donetsk counteroffensive and claim tactical gains in Dobropillia near Pokrovsk. The ISW assessed Russia is incurring heavy casualties, particularly from Ukrainian drone attacks, for limited tactical advances. Ukrainian defenses remain active around Kupiansk and Novopavlivka.
