[Korrespondent] 23:21 Russia is using rare D-74 cannons on the front in Ukraine, which the USSR gave to Vietnam and China, writes Business Insider. The use of D-74 by the Russians may indicate the import of these systems or at least ammunition for them from North Korea, the publication notes.
22:13 On Thursday, October 17, a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council will take place. According to the program, the meeting will be held in the format of a "working dinner", as part of a meeting of the Alliance member states at the level of defense ministers.

21:19 Head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell said that EU countries have not yet agreed on unblocking 6.6 billion euros to finance arms supplies to Ukraine, but are "closer to a solution." He also said that the EU mission to train Ukrainian troops will be extended for another two years.
21:12 Zelensky reported that he held a meeting with a multi-party delegation of the Canadian Parliament headed by Speaker Greg Fergus: "The main focus is Ukraine's path to NATO and the invitation to join the Alliance. We discussed support for our energy system before winter, defense assistance, continued sanctions pressure on the Russian Federation, and Canada's leadership in the liberation of Ukrainians."
19:16 Zelensky spoke about the "de facto inclusion of North Korea in the war." He also emphasized that "some other countries" with which Russia has relations "are investing in prolonging the war." "Whoever helps Russia, we will respond as harshly as necessary to protect Ukraine. We will also work accordingly with our partners so that Russian intentions do not work," the president assured.
In addition, Zelensky said that this week Ukraine will present to all partners in Europe its "strategy for forcing Russia to a fair end to this war." The head of state also confirmed that his "victory plan" will be presented publicly, "along with the first response that we received from our partners."
The President also said that as of today, 1 million drones have already been purchased with state funds and delivered to the front. "And this is only what the state is doing. There are also supplies from volunteers, from all those who support," Zelensky added.
18:38 Pope's representative Matteo Zuppi arrived in Moscow to discuss the return of Ukrainian children and prisoners, said the director of the Holy See's press service Matteo Bruni. His second visit to Moscow is "within the framework of the mission entrusted to him by Pope Francis to facilitate the reunification of Ukrainian children with their families and the exchange of prisoners, implying the achievement of the long-awaited peace," Bruni specified.

According to the president, active operations are currently underway along the entire length of the front, but the most brutal battles are in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhovsky directions.
The meeting also included reports from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense and the Foreign Intelligence Service on who is helping Russia wage war against Ukraine and what steps should be taken to weaken these alliances.

We see that the eastern and southeastern districts of the city - the enemy is there now, but active battles are being waged for other parts of the city. We are holding back the enemy there."

11:59 Zelensky showed one of the production facilities of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex:
11:26 Politico writes that Orban refuses to approve an extension of sanctions against Russia, which will complicate the allocation of loans to Ukraine at the expense of frozen Russian assets to help Trump. In this way, the Hungarian Prime Minister wants to give Trump a "big political gift", since the Republican presidential candidate will be able to tell his voters that if he wins, he "will not give Ukraine a cent". If the EU and the US jointly participate in a loan of 35 billion euros, which is part of a 50 billion loan from the G7, Trump will be obliged to service it if he is re-elected president.

05:11 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that the successes of the Russian army on the border of the Donetsk and Zaporizhia regions do not indicate a large-scale offensive. This is how analysts commented on reports of a Russian offensive in the Levadnoye area southwest of Velyka Novosilka and a breakthrough of the Ukrainian defense. ISW notes that Russian forces have achieved tactical successes in this area, but so far this does not appear to be part of a large-scale operational offensive effort.
