[Korrespondent] 22:42 The McFaul-Yermak group has prepared a Roadmap of individual sanctions against Russians - all those involved in the spread of narratives, without which Russian terror is impossible, Zelensky said: "We must clearly assess such an" informational and emotional "component of terror: the Russian army is retreating on battlefield, so the results of terror against our civilian population and infrastructure are presented by Russian propaganda as a substitute for military victories.Also, various Russian informants and stars are involved in justifying the criminal attempt to annex our territory and mobilize for war against us, against Ukraine.Absolutely all such persons should receive a full package of individual sanctions so that they can do nothing at all in the world."
22:13 Zelensky, in an evening video message, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are moving forward daily: "Russian propagandists are lying when they say that this terror against our infrastructure and people can somehow slow down the active actions of our military or create some difficulties for our defense. Ukrainians united and know for sure that Russia has no chance of winning this war. Our Defense Forces are getting everything they need to protect the state and daily - I emphasize: daily - are moving forward."
At the same time, the president urged all Ukrainians to save electricity: "The stability of the energy of our entire state depends on each city and region of Ukraine. Please limit the operation of equipment that consumes a lot of electricity. And especially during peak consumption hours in the morning and evening. Please contact Look out for reports from local authorities and utility companies about when there might be power outages on your street or in your area. Plan your day with this information in mind."
21:36 Zelensky said in an interview with Canadian television channels CTV and CBC that Ukraine can start negotiations with Russia after the return of all its territories within the 1991 borders, but there will be no return of relations with the Russian Federation that were before the war: "To speak, you need to rewind to the moment when our states spoke. And that was before the war, before 2014. And from this point on, we can try to resolve the issue diplomatically."
The President also stressed that the pseudo-referendums and the so-called "accession" of the occupied Ukrainian territories by Russia put an end to the possibility of negotiations. At the same time, he expressed the opinion that in Russia "there will definitely be a leadership with which Ukraine will communicate in one form or another."
According to Zelensky, Putin violates any agreements, including those reached under the Normandy format: “All this is blah blah blah, and an old man who no longer remembers where he gave his word, where he didn’t. This is what is happening. And therefore, what is the point for me, as the president of the country, to talk to a person who says something, and tomorrow changes his position."
20:39 Zelensky said in an interview with Canadian CTV and CBC that the world should warn Russia in case of a nuclear strike on Bankova: "If the message sounds that there will be a strike on the decision-making center, the world's response should be: Look, if you hit on Bank, then there will be a blow where you are, the one who gives the task to kill people. If you do this, then in a second, regardless of the result of your blow, there will be a blow to decision-making in you, in your state. "
19:44 At the insistence of the Russian Federation, Gabon, the UN Security Council chairman, did not allow representatives of Lithuania and Romania to participate in the Security Council meeting on Ukraine due to the fact that "and so many representatives of the EU" participated, Russian media reported, citing a UN source.
18:41 Over the current day, units of the Defense Forces repelled the attacks of the invaders in the areas of the settlements of Bakhmut, Ozaryanovka and Odradovka of the Donetsk region, the General Staff said in the evening report. The enemy launched 40 missile strikes and launched 16 Iranian-made Shahed-136 strike UAVs. Of these, 20 cruise missiles and 11 UAVs were shot down. The objects of the energy and critical infrastructure of the Volyn, Rivne, Kharkiv, Khmelnytsky, Kirovograd, Cherkasy, Zaporozhye, Odessa and Nikolaev regions fell under enemy strikes.
Separate units of Russian troops continue to leave the territory of the Kherson region. At the same time, cases of looting and robbery of local residents became more frequent. The enemy completely left the settlements of Charivnoe and Chkalovo, and officers and medical staff were evacuated from Berislav.
The number of cases of looting and illegal actions in Kherson has increased. The occupiers take away cars from the local population and try to leave the city using a ferry crossing near the Antonovsky bridge.
18:35 The Russians fired at the Nikopol district this afternoon - they hit the Krasnogrigoryevsk community from the MLRS. Three people were preliminarily wounded, said the head of the Dnepropetrovsk OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.
18:31 In the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation, they began to build a defensive line consisting of anti-tank concrete blocks, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said.
17:50 The air command of the Zakhid Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down seven enemy missiles today, some of them fell in the Lviv region. There were no casualties, injuries and destruction, said the head of the Lviv OVA Maxim Kozitsky.
17:29 Iran condemned calls for the UN to investigate the supply of kamikaze drones to the Russian Federation and threatened France, Germany and the UK with "retaliatory actions", writes Reuters.
17:27 Podolyak said that Putin wants to provoke new waves of refugees to Europe: "By strikes on Ukrainian critical infrastructure, the Kremlin wants to provoke new waves of refugees to Europe. Whether Putin will be able to implement his plan today depends only on leaders in European capitals. The only way to stop humanitarian catastrophe - the rapid transfer of air defense and missiles to it."
17:15 Russia has been draining water from the Kakhovka reservoir for the third day already, reports the BBC. The "head of administration" of the occupied Novokakhovka district of the Kherson region, Vladimir Leontiev, said that water was being discharged from the Kakhovka reservoir in order to reduce the extent of damage in the event of a dam failure at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.
16:38 Germany must urgently supply Ukraine with new ammunition for IRIS-T air defense systems, the count is literally for days, Shmyhal said in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. According to him, Europe is waiting for a “migration tsunami” if, due to Russian attacks on critical infrastructure, Ukraine is left without electricity, heating and water.
15:56 Zelensky said that the enemy had fired 36 missiles at Ukraine since the night, most of which were shot down. "The photo is just one example of how the enemy is trying to break us. These are dastardly attacks on critical facilities. Typical terrorist tactics. The world can and must stop this terror," the president wrote.
15:01 German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock and Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht demand that the country's Ministry of Finance allocate "significantly more funds" to help Ukraine, writes Der Spiegel. We are talking about a special fund for arms assistance in the amount of 2.2 billion euros. According to the two ministers, the previously planned budget reduces the room for maneuver "to a minimum that is no longer politically justified" - to 697 million euros.
14:37 In Lutsk, the damage to the energy facility, which was hit by a missile, is critical. In fact, it was destroyed, at present its restoration is impossible, said the mayor of Lutsk Igor Polishchuk. According to preliminary information, the enemy hit the object with three Kh-101 missiles.
14:12 As a result of missile attacks on energy facilities in the Khmelnitsky region, 672,000 subscribers were disconnected, in Nikolaev - 188,400, in Volyn - 102,000, in Cherkasy - 242,000, in Rivne - 174,790, in Kirovohrad - 61,913, in Odesa - 10,500, the President's Office reported.
13:39 The "administration" of the occupied Kherson region has issued an order that all civilians of the city, as well as "divisions and ministries of civil administration" should immediately cross to the left bank of the Dnieper.
13:17 The authorities of the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation reported the shelling of Shebekino, residents report power outages.
13:14 In the southern regions, four critical infrastructure facilities were hit - one each in the Odessa and Kirovograd regions, two in the Nikolaev region. In the Odessa region, three people were injured. Air defense forces shot down four cruise missiles over the Odesa region and one over the Mykolaiv region during this attack, OK Pivden reported.
12:52 The enemy today re-hit an energy infrastructure facility in the Volyn region, said the head of the UVA Yuriy Pogulyaiko. There are no previous casualties.
12:31 In the Rivne region, due to problems with the light, the air raid notification does not work. Police cars and rescuers drive around the city, which will announce the danger, said the head of the OVA Vitaliy Koval.
11:55 During the morning alert, Ukrainian air defense forces shot down 18 Russian cruise missiles: 13 X-101/X-555 and five Caliber. In total, the Russians fired 33 missiles, according to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The enemy attacked with at least ten Tu-160 and Tu-95 strategic aircraft from the Volgodonsk region of the Rostov region, as well as from ships from the Black Sea.
11:37 As a result of yesterday's morning missile strikes on an industrial infrastructure facility in Kharkiv, 11 people were injured, one of them in serious condition, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, said. During the day, the enemy also shelled Volchansk, the village of Dvurechnaya and other settlements in Kharkov, Chuguev, Bogodukhovsky and Kupyansky districts of the region. Private houses were damaged, fires broke out, three people were injured.
11:33 In the Rivne region, the enemy launched rocket attacks on energy infrastructure facilities. Electric substations were damaged, there were no casualties. There is no power supply in part of the Rivne region. In the near future, it is planned to resume the supply of electricity and water, said the head of the OVA Vitaliy Koval.
11:31 Ukrenergo reports that the scale of damage as a result of today's rocket attacks is comparable to or may exceed the consequences of the October 10-12 attack.
Currently, power supply restrictions have been involuntarily applied in Kyiv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Kharkiv, Poltava, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye and Kirovohrad regions.
11:19 British intelligence notes that regular shelling of the Antonovsky bridge makes it impossible to use it. Russia had to organize a crossing on civilian barges, a method it had never used since the Second World War. At the same time, analysts point out that the use of civilian barges is likely to give Russia additional logistical advantages. In case of failure of such emergency crossings, they are easy to replace, but in any case, maintaining such logistics for Russian troops is vital, against the backdrop of increasing pressure from Ukrainian troops on the right bank of the Dnieper.
11:06 In the morning, the enemy launched two missile attacks on the energy infrastructure of the Odessa region, as a result of which there is no electricity in several settlements of the Odessa region, said the head of the OVA, Maxim Marchenko.
10:47 Uman region was left without electricity due to a rocket hitting a power facility in a neighboring region, said the head of the Cherkasy OVA, Igor Taburets.
10:35 The enemy launched rocket attacks on important energy facilities in the Kropyvnytskyi and Golovanovskiy districts, the head of the Kirovohrad Regional Military District Andrey Raykovich said. He asked all residents and especially businesses to significantly reduce electricity consumption. There are already blackouts in the area.
10:01 All five rockets flying to Kiev in the first salvo were shot down, Arestovich said.
09:59 Mayor of Lutsk Igor Polishchuk announced a missile attack on an energy facility, there is no electricity in a part of the city. Residents are asked to stockpile water. A private house was also damaged by the shock wave, one person was burned.
09:56 The head of the Rivne OVA, Vitaliy Koval, announced a missile attack on the region.
09:49 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy by the morning of October 22.

09:40 For the first time in almost 80 years, the United States deployed the 101st Airborne Division (4,700 troops) to Europe to participate in the exercises, CBS News reports. The commander of one of the brigades, Edwin Matthaides, noted that his unit is closer to Ukrainian territory than any other US forces, and is "closely following" the actions of Russia. Also, American paratroopers are conducting exercises that "exactly repeat what is happening" in neighboring Ukraine. According to CBS, in the event of an escalation of hostilities or an attack on NATO, the paratroopers "are fully prepared to cross the border with Ukraine."
09:29 Ukrenergo reported that today, October 22, electricity consumption in Kyiv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Cherkassy and Zhytomyr regions again critically increased in the morning, so temporary consumption restrictions are being introduced in these regions. The size of the restriction at the moment is significantly less than that applied on the eve of October 21, the company added.
09:22 The head of the Khmelnytsky OVA, Serhiy Gamaly, announced explosions in the region. After that, the city council of Khmelnytsky reported that the city was left without electricity , residents are asked to make supplies of water, if possible, because in an hour it will also disappear.
09:19 At night, during a massive strike on the southern regions, air defense forces destroyed ten attack drones over the Nikolaev region and one more over the Kirovohrad region, OK Pivden reported. One of the critical infrastructure facilities of the Cherkasy region was hit, rescuers continue to extinguish the fire.
09:15 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, three civilians were killed - in Bakhmut. Ten more people were injured, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.
08:31 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) writes that the Russian Federation probably intends to continue the withdrawal of its troops from the western part of the Kherson region over the next few weeks, but may encounter difficulties if Ukrainian troops decide to attack. Analysts predict that Russian forces will likely try to blow up the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam to cover their withdrawal and prevent Ukrainian forces from pursuing them deep into the Kherson region. At the same time, the occupiers will almost certainly blame Ukraine for the undermining.
According to ISW, Ukraine has no material interest in blowing up the dam, which could flood 80 Ukrainian cities and displace hundreds of thousands of people, as well as damage the already problematic electricity supply in Ukraine. Russia, however, has every reason to try to provide cover for its retreating forces. Any claim that Russian troops will not blow up the dam because of concerns about Crimea's water supply is absurd, experts say.
Analysts also say that Putin is creating conditions for Russia to continue a long, high-intensity war in Ukraine, rather than a negotiated settlement or exit from it.
07:59 Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces repelled the attacks of the invaders in the areas of the settlements of Ternovaya, Kharkiv region; Belogorivka and Zolotarivka in the Luhansk region and Liman, Ivangrad, Soledar, Novokalinovo, Ozaryanovka, Odradovka and Pervomayskoye in the Donetsk region, the General Staff said in a morning report .
Meanwhile, a significant part of the population left Kherson, and the invaders who remained in the city dressed in civilian clothes and settled in abandoned houses. The enemy is preparing Kherson for street fighting. Also, the occupiers vacate the premises of the Kakhovka hospital from patients and medical personnel. In Energodar, the Russian military plunder the abandoned apartments and hotels where they lived.
The deployment of a joint regional group of troops of Russia and Belarus continues. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, there are numerous cases of conflicts between the Russian and Belarusian military against the background of national affiliation and the biased attitude of Russians towards Belarusians.
Along with the search for weapons, the Russian military leadership does not stop trying to attract foreign mercenaries to the war in Ukraine. According to available information, militants are being recruited in one of the countries of the Middle East.
04:20 The head of the Cherkasy OVA, Igor Taburets, announced an enemy attack on the region.
01:17 Scholz commented on the results of the two-day EU summit in Brussels, saying that Europe continues to be united in its support for Ukraine: "Europe stands together! We are together on the side of Ukraine. We stand together against Putin and Russian aggression. We unite to overcome together consequences of the Russian invasion and high energy prices.
00:14 The Maxar Technologies satellite took pictures of the fortifications that the Wagner PMC mercenaries built near the occupied city of Gorne, Luhansk region. They show two two-line anti-tank strips, which, according to the invaders, should stop the advance of equipment. In the pictures you can see the rows of cement pyramids built according to the standard of Soviet defensive lines. An analysis of satellite images shows that the length of the fortified line near Gorny is only 1.6 km, although propagandists talked about plans to "close" the front in a section of more than 200 km.
