It is the 8th month of the Russian   invasion of Ukraine. Much has happened on the  battlefield and the diplomatic front in the   first half of October, but, unfortunately, we  are not moving closer to the end of this war.   Ukraine continues its liberation efforts, while  Russia has started sending its first mobilized   troops into the battlefield.

In our previous video, we described the  Ukrainian advance east of the river Oskil.   On October 1, the Ukrainian army reached one of  the main targets of its operations in Northern   Donbas by liberating Lyman as the 81st Airmobile  Brigade, the elements of the national guard,   and the Klyuchevski Battalion entered the city.  Russia also lost Yampil, Stavki, Zarichne,   Torske, and several other settlements in this  direction. At this point, the objective of the   Russian command was to establish a relatively  stable defensive line from Svatove to Kreminna.   The loss of Svatove would mean the loss of  a critical logistical line in North Donbas,   and the liberation of Kreminna would increase  the threat on the Severodonetsk-Lysychansk   agglomeration, which Russia lost many men  and equipment capturing. Russia retaliated   for its losses with a missile strike on  Kharkiv, which took the lives of 24 people.  Russian setbacks since September have caused  significant discontent in the elite as well. The   Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov heavily criticized  the commander of the Central Military District,   General Lapin, for the Russian losses on this  front and accused the Chief of Staff General   Valery Gerasimov of protecting Lapin. The  oligarch and the owner of the Wagner Group,   Yevgeny Prigozhin, supported Kadyrov. Both  Prigozhin and Kadyrov have armed groups, and they   have been among the most vocal supporters of the  invasion and consistently urged Putin to escalate   in Ukraine. It seems like there is some fight for  power and status between the Ministry of Defense   on one side and Kadyrov and Prigozhin on the  other. On October 7, The Washington Post published   a story claiming that a member of Putin’s inner  circle criticized him personally for military   setbacks in Ukraine. Around the same time, several  Russian military bloggers theorized that cracks   were forming in the Russian elite as pro-war  and pro-peace groups developed in the Kremlin.  Prigozhin and Kadyrov are the prominent  members of the pro-war faction, who intend   to discredit the Russian military command and  strengthen their political positions through   their actions in Ukraine. The pro-peace  group consists of Russian officials who   want a negotiated settlement with the West  to avoid losing their assets and links with   the West. We don’t have sufficient information  about internal processes in the Russian elite.   Still, it is noteworthy that following Kadyrov’s  and Prigozhin’s criticism, drastic changes were   made in command of the Russian occupation  force in Ukraine. In early October, it was   reported that Lieutenant-General Roman Berdnikov  replaced Colonel-General Aleksandr Zhuravlev as   the commander of the Western Military District,  while Lieutenant-General Rustam Muradov became   the commander of the Eastern Military District  instead of Colonel-General Aleksandr Chaiko.   Interestingly, Lapin has not been  replaced, despite heavy criticism,   as it seems like Putin does not want to acquiesce  to the public demands of one of the factions,   as balancing these factions has been one of  the key factors behind his long reign. Putin   cannot afford to look weak at this point. Still,  Putin’s promotion of Kadyrov to general colonel,   the second such promotion since the beginning  of the war, created some discomfort among the   nationalist groups worried that the Chechen  leader was gaining even more prominence. At the   same time, Putin also understood the gravity of  his military’s situation in Ukraine and appointed   the overall commander of the Russian invasion  of Ukraine and General Sergey Surovikin, known   for his brutal targeting of civilians in Syria.  He was appointed to this position on October 8.   Very soon, he started implementing his usual  tactics in Ukraine, and we will talk about it in   a bit, but for now, let’s go back to describing  the developments on the North Donbas front.  Following the liberation of Lyman, the Russian  withdrawal along the front continued. In the   south of the front, the 81st Airmobile Brigade  and the 95th Air Assault Brigade pressed the   Russian army units, which had earlier retreated  from Lyman, namely the elements of the 144th   Guards Motor Rifle Division, the remnants of the  battered 201st Military Base and the BARS 13 and   16 Volunteer Units, further towards the outskirts  of Kreminna. Also, on October 2, the 71st Separate   Jaeger Brigade pushed back the 61st Naval Infantry  Brigade of the Russian army from Nevske, while the   66th Separate Mechanized Brigade liberated Terny.  By October 3, Russian telegram channels claimed   the Ukrainian forward units had been able to  reach the P66 highway around Kreminna, which   threatened the Russian units in Svatovo, Rubizhne,  and consequently in the Severodonetsk-Lysychansk   agglomeration. Along with that, Nyzhe Solone,  Pidlyman, Nyzhnya Zhuravka, Borova, Shiykivka,   Bohuslavka, Borivska Andriivka on the eastern  bank of Oskil were liberated by the 80th Air   Assault Brigade and the 92nd Mechanized Brigade,  as the Russian army in this area retreated to   the east bank of the river Zherebets to create a  new defensive line between Svatove and Kreminna.   On October 5, the 71st Brigade continued its  advance with the liberation of Hrekivka and   Makiivka villages of the Luhansk oblast, as  the 61st Naval Infantry brigade retreated   towards the Russian defensive line around the  P66 highway. In the next few days, Ukrainian   forces liberated Hlushkivka, Stelmakhivka,  Novolyubivka, Novojehorivka, Berestove, Pishchane,   Krokhmalne, Kyslivka, Kotlyarivka, as the Russian  army continued retreating to their defensive line   to presumably make a stand there. Reports of  the newly-mobilized Russian troops arriving   at the new Russian defensive line between  Svatove and Kreminna emerged on October 11.   Mixed information about Russian attempts to push  back the 81st Airmobile Brigade and the 95th Air   Assault Brigade from the outskirts of Kreminna  towards Zarichne and Torske has been refuted   by Ukrainian military bloggers, as the Russian  counter-offensive launched on October 11 failed.  Nevertheless, the arrival of Mobiks, as Russians  call mobilized soldiers, may have pushed the   Russian command to attempt to reverse the momentum  on this front. Surely, mobilized Russian soldiers   are untrained or extremely poorly trained, but  the early indications demonstrate that Russia   intends to send the bulk of its new conscripts to  the North Luhansk frontline to stabilize it, and   the sheer quantity of Russian troops in this area  can potentially slow down the Ukrainian advance.   As of October 16, Ukraine has been advancing  toward Svatove from three directions.   The Ukrainian command intends to capture  this town before the number of mobilized   troops becomes a problem. For now, Mobiks and  the remnants of the Russian army routed in the   Kharkiv oblast are the best hope of Russia to  prevent the Ukrainian advance on Svatove and,   eventually, Starobilsk, which, as we noted before,  are critical logistical hubs for the Russian   military presence in North Donbas. Losing them  would mean that Russia would have to supply its   troops in Donbas via a much longer route - from  M04 and E40 highways and railroads along them,   which would only exacerbate the Russian supply  problem and could potentially become a heavy   blow for the whole Russian occupation campaign  in Ukraine by becoming a massive problem for   the Russian group in Severodonetsk-Lysychansk  agglomeration, putting the Russian control over   vast land north of the city of Luhansk under  serious threat. We must mention that both the   Wagner mercenaries and LDNR separatists started  constructing a line of World War-style trenches   in the Hirske-Zolote area, which is currently  20 kilometers from the front. This raised some   eyebrows, as this is the only general area  where Russian forces have any momentum,   and the Ukrainian advance is happening elsewhere. Russians also experienced severe problems on the   Kherson front, where the battles intensified. On  October 2, Ukraine breached Russian lines along   the right bank of the river Dnipro and forced  them to retreat up to 30 kilometers south.   The Ukrainian 60th Brigade capitalized on the fact  that the Russian 98th Guards Airborne Division   was pulled out for rotation and cut through  the understaffed 80th Motor Rifle Brigade.   As a result, within a day, Ukrainian forces,  reportedly spearheaded by 17 tanks and 11   infantry fighting vehicles, managed to advance  for almost 30 kilometers from Zolota Balka to   Dudchany as Russians hastily retreated. To the  west of Dudchany, Khreshchenivka, Shevchenivka,   and Lyubymivka were also liberated. This attack  aimed to reach Nova Kakhovka and the P47 highway   to divide the remaining Russian forces on the  right bank of the Dnipro. The 35th and the 36th   Naval Infantry Brigades of Ukraine were not able  to achieve similar success around Davydiv Brid   initially. But they finally managed to defeat  the Russian units in the area, as on October 4,   Ukraine broke through the Russian defenses in  Davydiv Brid, liberating this long-contested   Russian stronghold in the area, along with Velyka  Oleksandrivka, Mala Oleksandrivka. Russian retreat   along Dnipro continued as they blew a road bridge  in the area to delay the Ukrainian advance.   The long frontline in the Kherson oblast, sparsely  manned by the Russian units, was tough to defend   for the Russian army suffering from diminishing  manpower, and as their defenses had been breached,   they decided to drop back and establish  a narrower frontline roughly going along   Bruskynske — Borozenske — Mylovo. The liberation  of Dudchany means that Chaplynka, which Russia   used extensively as an airbase and logistical  hub, is now in range of the HIMARS missiles.  Russian defenses in North Luhansk and Kherson  oblast had to rely on establishing strongholds   in towns and villages since Russia simply did  not have enough men to defend the whole frontline   properly. Such strongholds are vulnerable  to flanking and attacks from the rear,   which the Ukrainian army took advantage of.  Some Ukrainian commentators have criticized   the Ukrainian command for not pursuing the routed  Russian units and hence deepening their advance,   as, instead, they preferred to mop up villages and  settlements on the way to prevent any surprises.   The Ukrainian leadership probably chose this  tactic not to overextend its supply lines, but   this has allowed the Russian army to build some  defensive fortifications on their next line of   defense. There are reports of the construction of  fortifications in the city of Kherson and Vesele.   These fortifications cover a small area, and it  looks like their purpose is to buy just enough   time for the orderly retreat of the Russian  units from the western bank of the Dnipro,   if holding it becomes too costly. On October  9 and 14, Russia attempted to counterattack   Ternovy Pody, Nova Kamyanka, and Sukhyi Stavok,  but this attempt was repulsed. It is reported that   another common destination of mobilized Russian  soldiers is the Kherson front. Putin wants to   hold the right bank of Dnipro, particularly after  annexing Kherson oblast, even though he is not   sure where the borders of his annexed territories  are, according to his spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.   Military commentators predict Russia will have  to withdraw to the eastern bank of Dnipro in the   foreseeable future. At some point, the Ukrainian  pressure, accompanied by the Russian inability   to adequately supply its troops against the  background of ever-present HIMARS strikes on   pontoon bridges and crossings on the river Dnipro,  will force them to make this tough and unpopular   decision. It is claimed that Putin ordered his  commanders not to retreat in the Kherson front.  On October 8, a huge symbolic, strategic, and  operational event occurred. A major explosion   significantly damaged the Kerch Strait Bridge  linking Russia with occupied Crimea. This   bridge consisting of a highway and a railroad,  completed in 2019, is a project considered very   personal for Putin and has a symbolic meaning in  terms of his perception of himself as a “unifier   of Russian lands.” The bridge was a statement  project, conveying the message that Russia is   now forever linked with Crimea. The Kerch Bridge  allowed Russia to establish a land link with the   illegally occupied peninsula, enabling the Russian  army to supply its units on the Southern Front.   This explosion destroyed one lane of the  road bridge and damaged the railroad track.   Russia immediately started repairing the bridge,  which is already open for passenger rail and light   road traffic. However, it looks like the bridge  is still too damaged for the movement of heavily   armored vehicles and rail freight transport, which  exacerbates the supply issues of the Southern   Front. There is another railway and highway  connecting Russia to the occupied Kherson oblast,   but the Melitopol-Tokmak railway is too close to  the Zaporizhian front, and the road connecting   Mariupol to Kherson is of lower quality. The  damage to the Kerch bridge will likely cause   delays in Russian logistics as the government  intends to complete the repairs by July 2023.  There have been different  explanations for this explosion.   The most common version corroborated by footage of  the incident is that a truck carrying explosives   exploded on the bridge and caused the explosion of  7 fuel tanks moving on the railroad at this point.   Unmanned kamikaze boats and missile strikes  were among other versions. Whatever the cause,   the blast was received very differently by  the sides. Ukraine did not officially claim   responsibility, but some officials openly  celebrated the damage to the Kerch Bridge.   Some have speculated that the explosion was caused  by internal fighting in the Kremlin, possibly to   sow more seeds of suspicion within Russian ranks.  The Russian reaction was disbelief and anger.   After all, the Kremlin guaranteed the security  of the Bridge on numerous occasions but failed   to protect it from what looks like an ingenious  operation of Ukrainian intelligence. At first,   Russia did not officially blame Ukraine and opened  an investigation, which predictably concluded that   Ukraine was behind this attack. It is essential  to mention that the commentators claiming that   Ukraine committed a terror attack are wrong –  the bridge was used for military logistics and,   as such, was a valid military target,  even though civilian casualties occurred.  Russia retaliated with a series of strikes on  the Ukrainian civilian infrastructure lasting   several days. It was arguably the biggest  such attack since the early days of the war.   On October 9-11, six missiles hit several  apartment blocks in Zaporizhia, killing dozens.   This was followed by an airstrike on targets in  16 different cities in Ukraine. Russia launched   83 missiles and 24 drones, according to the  Ukrainian command. Ukraine managed to shoot   down 43 missiles and 13 drones, but Russia still  inflicted significant damage on the Ukrainian   infrastructure in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Lviv,  Ternopil, Zhytomyr, Kremenchuk, and other cities.   At least 11 civilians were killed in this  attack, which seemingly had little to no military   significance, as Russia wasted its limited  precision missile and drone stockpiles to damage   Ukrainian energy and heating infrastructure,  parks, playgrounds, residential buildings,   a German consulate, and the pedestrian Klitschko  bridge in Kyiv. For several days, Russia continued   its airstrikes using Kh-101, Kh-55, Iskander  missiles, and Shahed-136 drones supplied by Iran.   These retaliatory airstrikes aimed to break  the resolve of the Ukrainian people to fight,   damage their morale, and cause problems with  power and heating for ordinary Ukrainians.  Surovikin notorious for destroying Aleppo in the  Syrian War, was putting his stamp on the Russian   invasion using similar tactics. But this was an  ineffective use of precision missiles. There is   no indication that these airstrikes have broken  the Ukrainian will to fight. On the contrary,   it has made them angrier. Ukraine has responded  by striking the energy infrastructure of Belgorod,   along with targeting Russian ammunition depots  stationed in the region. The Russian reserves   of precious precision missiles have further  decreased: according to the Ukrainian defense   minister Oleksii Reznikov, Russia has used  1,235 out of 1,844 Iskander, Kalibr, and   air-launched cruise missiles since the start of  the war. Production of such missiles takes time,   and sanctions imposed on Russia may impact further  production. Moreover, this attack has prompted the   Western coalition to provide more air defense  systems to Ukraine. Germany delivered IRIS-T air   defense systems, Spain pledged 4 Hawk air defense  systems, the United States decided to expedite   the delivery of the NASAMS air defense systems,  France promised to provide Crotale short-range   anti-air missiles, while the United Kingdom agreed  to donate AMRAAMS missiles compatible with NASAMS,   while NATO is going to provide 100 drone  jamming stations to counter the Iranian drones.  The Russian mobilization, the declared annexation  of the occupied Ukrainian lands, and the brutal   attacks on the Ukrainian infrastructure have  pushed the West to provide more military   support throughout the first half of October. The  United States pledged 155mm and 105mm howitzers,   Excalibur precision-guided artillery shells,  other artillery shells, HIMARS and HARM missiles,   more armored vehicles, claymore mines, anti-tank  weapons, and so on. Canada promised to deliver   winter uniforms, drones, and satellite services.  The United Kingdom will provide 18 more howitzers   and aerial drones. Germany agreed to send  more PzH2000 howitzers and MARS II MLRS.   The West managed to maintain a steady supply  of weapons to Ukraine in October, too.   There are fears that this arms support will  diminish the Western weapon reserves, but for now,   the support is strong, and there is no indication  that it will decrease. Russia also made moves to   replenish its weapon stocks. They have regularly  used Shahed-136 loitering munitions on Ukrainian   military and civilian targets in its mass air  attack following the explosion on the Kerch   Bridge and earlier on Bila Tservka near Kyiv. According to the Ukrainian Southern Operational   Command spokesperson, Nataliya Humenyuk,  Russia possesses between 300 to several   thousand Shahed-136 drones. Later, reports from  Ukraine claimed that Russia had asked Iran for   2400 more drones. Iranian Telegram channels also  reported that Russia had ordered Arash-2 drones   and Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar missiles from Iran.  The efficacy of these missiles is debated, but   we know that they can respectively hit targets 300  and 700 km away. On a separate note, Russia also   decided to take 800 T-62 tanks and some WW-2 era  D-1 howitzers out of storage to use in Ukraine.   There are reports that the main Russian tank  factory – Uralvagonzavod, could only produce   24 tanks in September, primarily by cannibalizing  old tanks, which is not nearly enough to replace   their losses in armor. Simultaneously, it  became known that Russia failed to deliver   the T-90C tanks ordered by India and is using  them in Ukraine. These tidbits show that Russia   has problems in terms of hardware production. Interesting developments occurred in Belarus,   a staging point for the initial Russian  attack on Kyiv in February, also used for   the missile strikes. It has been relatively less  involved since the early days of the invasion,   but throughout the war, rumors have been  circulated about the impending deployment   of the Belarusian army against Ukraine. So far,  this has not happened, even though it has been   reported that Putin has been pushing Lukashenka  to send in his troops. But this might be changing:   On October 8, Belarus officially accused  Ukraine of preparing to attack its territory.   On October 10, it was reported that Belarus sent  several dozens of its T-72A tanks to Russia.   Moreover, Lukashenka announced the deployment of  the Union State’s Regional Grouping of Forces.   Currently, it seems that only 9 thousand Russian  soldiers will be in this regional grouping, mainly   consisting of the 1st Guards Tank Army and several  airborne units, which have suffered heavy losses.   Ukrainians claim that Belarus is preparing to  host 20k mobilized Russians within the framework   of the RGF. This may allow these men to be trained  appropriately, and to fix a considerable number of   Ukrainian forces near Kyiv, to be ready for any  incursions from the northern borders of Ukraine.   The fact that Belarus is sending tanks and  military equipment to Russia instead of stationing   it on the border with Ukraine indicates that,  at this point, Russia and Belarus do not plan   to attack Ukraine from the northwest. On October  14, Lukashenka proclaimed a counter-terrorism   operation regime in Belarus without explaining  what it meant. It looks like Belarus is trying to   appease Russia by giving its tanks and weapons,  and fixing some Ukrainian forces in the region   with its posturing. We also have reports that some  Shahed drones will be stationed in the Belorusian   Luninets airbase, creating a new vector of aerial  threat for Kyiv. It is difficult to say if it was   another attempt to put pressure on Ukraine or  a symptom of a future escalation of just the   routine governmental procedure, but some countries  diplomatically close to Russia, including China,   asked their citizens to leave Ukraine. This gives us a good segue to talk about   diplomatic events. The UN vote to condemn  Russia’s illegal annexation of Ukrainian   territory passed with 143 countries in favor and  only 5 – Russia, Belarus, North Kore, Nicaragua,   and Syria against. Rumors that Zelenskyy and Putin  might negotiate during the G20 Summit in Indonesia   were circulated. Turkey announced its commitment  to facilitate the talks between the two countries.   Armenia and Azerbaijan have seemingly taken steps  towards a peace treaty, and they managed to do it   without Russian participation in the process,  showing how the situation changed in the region   Russia considered its backyard. Simultaneously,  the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting   Countries decided to decrease oil production amid  the price drop of the commodity. We also learned   that the US had intensified the negotiations with  Venezuela to normalize the relations and get more   of the Venezuela oil to the international markets  to keep prices stable. China’s lukewarm support of   Russia continued, but their officials also stated  that any nuclear escalation is unacceptable.  Not much changed on Zaporizhia and Donbas fronts.  In Zaporizhia, sides continued artillery battles   without any significant movement. In Donbas,  Russia went on with its frontal assaults   on Bakhmut and Soledar. Reports of attacks by  the Wagner and DPR units on this line emerged   on October 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14. The 93rd  Mechanized Brigade continued its defense against   Russian attacks, which were heavily taxing  for both sides. For the first time in a while,   Russia managed some advance by occupying  Mykolaivka Druha, Zaitseve, Vesela Dolyna.   The DPR separatist forces claimed they took  control of both Opytne, which Ukrainians have   denied, and Ivanhrad. It is an interesting wrinkle  that Prigozhin denied the DPR claim, stating the   battles near Ivanhrad were going on while the  Wagner group captured Opytne singlehandedly.  In the first half of October, Ukraine maintained  its momentum by advancing on two different fronts.   Russia is hastily sending in mobiks to bolster  its thinly manned defensive lines. However, the   conduct of mobilization continued to be criticized  in Russia. Putin stated that “the Ministry of   Defense did not make timely changes to the legal  framework on the list of those who are not subject   to mobilization; adjustments have to be made,”  while the chairperson of the Russian State Duma   Defense Committee, Andrey Kartapolov called  the Russian Ministry of Defense to stop lying.   It is quite a heavy accusation showing the Russian  elite's frustration. But the problems with the   Russian mobilization are so evident that even  Russian officials cannot help but criticize it.   For instance, on October 15, the Russian defense  ministry stated that 11 conscripts were shot dead,   15 were injured on the military fire range  by two of their fellow soldiers, possibly on   religious grounds. Russia continued its efforts  to recruit inmates. According to Russian human   rights organizations Sitting Russia (“sitting”  is a slang term for spending time in prison),   Gulagu.net, the Foundation for  the Rights of Inmates, at least,   15130 inmates have been deployed in Ukraine.  700k Russians have already fled their country   since mobilization was declared, according  to Forbes Russia’s report of October 4.   Other reports claim that the number is higher than  1 million at this point. Russia may claim that the   mobilization is partial, but the events on the  ground show that it will continue indefinitely.   Training, supply, and command of the mobiks  remained a big problem for the Russian army.   Tens of thousands are already on the frontlines  with no training, hundreds dead or captured.  The United States continued asserting that  there are no indications of Russia preparing   for a nuclear strike, but the tension is still  there. This tension presumably pushed Elon Musk to   suggest his peace proposal, which offered Ukraine  to accept the annexation of Crimea by Russia   and to hold referendums in 4 occupied oblasts  of Ukraine supervised by international monitors.   This caused an angry response from many Ukrainian  officials. The American political scientist Ian   Bremmer accused Musk of making this suggestion  after talking to Putin, which Musk vehemently   denied. This story developed with reports of  SpaceX asking the Pentagon to pay for the use   of Starlink in Ukraine. But whether it was due to  the reports of the federal investigation of Musk’s   attempted controversial Twitter purchase or some  other reasons, on October 15, Elon Musk made a   U-turn and agreed to continue supporting Ukraine  with Starlink. It is good news for Ukraine,   as Starlink is a crucial component of the  communication system of the Ukrainian army.  Now let’s talk about the losses the sides  have endured. There were no recent credible   reports on the Ukrainian manpower losses,  but according to the October 12 report of   the independent Russian media outlet Meduza, 90k  Russian troops have been killed, disabled, or   gone missing since the start of the war. Meduza’s  report is claimed to be based on an FSB source.   By October 16, the visually confirmed losses of  sides, according to the Oryx blog, are as follows:   For Russia, they are 1342 tanks, 2773 vehicles,  169 command posts and communication stations,   23 heavy mortars, 414 artillery pieces and  vehicles, 137 multiple rocket launchers,   62 aircraft, 53 helicopters, and  138 drones. On the Ukrainian side,   the visually confirmed equipment losses are the  following: 298 tanks, 778 vehicles, 7 command   posts and communication stations, 127 artillery  pieces and vehicles, 25 multiple rocket launchers,   52 aircraft, 15 helicopters, and 38 drones.
