Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.
[Korrespondent] 21:47 Zelensky said he hopes to stop Putin before November: "We must do this, we will try on the battlefield with our heroic warriors. But we understand that after November we will have to decide, and we hope that the US force will be powerful. We are counting on it."
The Ukrainian president also said that the "victory plan" was presented by the United States: "And we explained each point. Now, at the level of our teams, we will work to fill each step, each decision. Strong positions for Ukraine are a faster world. Everything key for Ukraine is on the table with partners, everything is being considered. Range, defense package, sanctions against Russia, steps on Russian assets. We have managed to work on all topics. We are preparing for a meeting in Germany within the framework of Ramstein - this is a format where, together with partners, we will follow the content of the points of the victory plan. I thank President Biden for the invitation."
21:33 Hungary will take part in the first meeting of the Friends of Peace initiative in New York, which is being founded by China and Brazil with a call to start negotiations to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said.
21:04 Trump said after meeting with Zelensky that he favors a "fair" peace for Ukraine, but refrained from giving specifics on what kind of agreement to end the war he would consider fair. When asked what he sees as a "fair" agreement to end the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump replied: "It's too early to talk about that."
20:16 Zelensky said he had a "very meaningful" meeting with Trump: "I presented him with a plan for victory. We discussed in detail the situation in Ukraine and the consequences of the war for our people. We discussed many details. Thank you for this meeting. A just peace is needed. We have a common view that the war in Ukraine must be stopped. Putin cannot win. The Ukrainians must win."
18:02 Zelensky and Trump have started a meeting in New York. The US presidential candidate said that Zelensky is going through incredible trials, and Zelensky said that he and Trump "have a common point of view that the war in Ukraine must be stopped." Trump also said that he has good relations with Putin, to which Zelensky expressed hope that Trump has better relations with him.
17:50 The International Federation of the Red Cross has refused to exclude the Russian Red Cross from its membership. The Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, said that he would inform the donors who finance the organization about this, "since they should pay attention to the fact that they are giving money to the IFRC, which covers up Russian crimes." At the same time, Lubinets proposed to redirect all funding to the Ukrainian Red Cross.
17:27 Russians shelled populated areas of Donetsk region throughout the day: four people were wounded in Konstantinovka, two in the Vysoko-Ivanovka microdistrict of the Slavyansk community, and one in Mirnograd, the prosecutor's office reported.
16:39 Two more bodies were pulled out from under the rubble of the administrative building in Krivoy Rog, the number of victims of the Russian strike has risen to three. Six people were injured, reported the head of the OVA, Serhiy Lysak.
16:26 Bloomberg writes that Ukraine's allies are facing financial difficulties, which threatens military aid in 2025. Thus, a key part of the support is the G7 plan for $50 billion in loans obtained from frozen Russian assets. However, the allies have not yet agreed on the final details of the agreement, and there is a risk that Hungary could block it.
But even if the agreement is approved, this money is still not enough to meet Ukraine's needs for the next year of war. In addition, many European countries have their own economic problems, so they are cutting aid, the agency notes.
15:58 A major offensive by Russian troops in the Kursk region has ended in failure, writes Bild. The publication recalls that Putin had already announced in mid-August the need to regain control of the entire territory of the Kursk region by October 1, but it was only on September 17 that Russian tanks advanced south from Korenevo. The Kremlin soon announced that the Russian Armed Forces had until mid-October to regain control of the territories occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
However, this goal also seems illusory for now, the publication notes. Ukrainian forces are not ready to retreat without a fight - the command is transferring new units to the Kursk region. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to outflank the Russian counterattack in Kursk and force the Russian army units to defend themselves in several directions at once.
14:43 The UN does not have enough funds to help Ukraine in winter, said UNHCR representative in Ukraine Caroline Lindholm Billing: "The reality is that the funding situation for organizations like ours is too bad at this time of year - we are 47% funded." At the same time, Ukraine's European neighbors fear a new wave of refugees in winter due to power outages.
13:17 In Krivoy Rog, as a result of today's strike, one person was killed and five were injured, search operations are ongoing. In addition to the police department, 23 private houses, three nine-story buildings, and an educational institution were damaged, said the head of the Dnipropetrovsk OVA Serhiy Lysak.
11:49 GUR hackers attacked more than 800 servers across Russia, Ukrainian media write, citing sources. The cyber specialists' operation lasted from September 23 to 26. As a result, documents and data stored on the affected servers were completely destroyed. We are talking about servers of military, administrative and financial institutions that ensure Russia's aggression against Ukraine. All data on the servers was deleted without the possibility of recovery.
11:18 In the morning, the Russian army attacked Ingulets, Dar'ivska community, Kherson region, with KABs - four people were wounded, including two children aged four and 15, OVA reported. In addition, as a result of the morning Russian drone strike on Kherson, one person was injured. The previous evening, the Russians also attacked Tomina Balka with rocket artillery - one person was killed, one was wounded.
10:54 Russians launched a missile attack on the district police department in Krivoy Rog, three casualties are currently known. There may be people under the rubble, emergency rescue operations are ongoing, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported.
10:17 A third of the Toretsk community is currently under the control of Russian troops, while the rest of the territory is experiencing intense fighting, said Vasily Chinchik, head of the GVA. According to him, enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups of 3-5 people are penetrating residential areas, critical infrastructure facilities, gradually accumulating and trying to "press" and seize city territory with numbers. The enemy is using FPV drones, surveillance aircraft and reconnaissance drones.
10:11 U.S. intelligence believes that Russia could escalate its aggression against the United States and its allies if Kiev is allowed to use Western missiles to strike deep into Russia. The assessment, which has not previously been made public, was given to The New York Times by anonymous U.S. officials. According to the intelligence, Ukraine’s limited stockpiles of missiles could reduce their strategic value on the battlefield, and uncertainty about future deliveries raises questions about the missiles’ real impact on the outcome of the war.
10:04 China and the countries of the Global South are creating an international group to end the war in Ukraine - it will be called "Friends of Peace", said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi at a meeting with Advisor to the President of Brazil Celso Amorim. According to Wang Yi, "Friends of Peace" are not closed groups, but open platforms.
"Instead of competition, we seek inclusive dialogue. The Friends of Peace were born for peace, and the international community should welcome them. The Friends of Peace are called upon to provide an objective and rational voice and will play a constructive role in the political settlement of the Ukrainian issue," the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
09:53 The number of victims as a result of enemy shelling in Odessa region has increased to 14, including three children aged three to 14, the prosecutor's office reported. Three people died.
09:42 The number of casualties as a result of yesterday's shelling of Kharkov by KABs has increased to five, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. Another person was injured in the urban-type settlement of Kupyansk-Uzlovaya, Volchansk and the village of Ivashki in the Bogodukhovsky district.
09:25 Air defense destroyed 24 of 32 Shahed-type attack UAVs at night, the Air Force reported. One drone entered Romanian airspace, another was lost due to electronic warfare countermeasures. In addition, Russia attacked with an Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missile and two Kh-22 cruise missiles at night. Air defense operated in the Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Odessa regions.
08:38 In Donetsk Oblast, four people were killed as a result of Russian shelling on September 26: two in Toretsk, one each in Chasovy Yar and Seversk. Another 11 people in the oblast were injured in the past 24 hours, said OVA head Vadim Filashkin.
08:21 In the morning, Russians launched attack drones at Izmail in Odessa Oblast - three people were killed, 11 were injured, including a child, said OVA head Oleg Kiper. Private and apartment buildings were damaged, several fires broke out, which were quickly extinguished.
08:14 In the morning, Russian troops attacked Kherson, one person was wounded in the Dniprovsky district, OVA reported. Over the previous day, as a result of Russian shelling in the region, one person was killed and 19 were wounded.

Pokrovsk-Kurakhovskoye direction: a dash to Gornyak and battles on the approaches to Mirnograd.
– In the Pokrovsk-Kurakhovskoye direction, Russian troops are actively fighting in two main areas. The greatest successes are being achieved on the southern approaches to Mirnograd near the Pokrovsk agglomeration and on the Tsukurino-Gornyak-Galitsynovka line, advancing in the direction of Kurakhovo.
– On the northern flank, Russian troops recently drove the enemy out of Krasny and Krutoy Yar. Later, footage of an ambush on a Ukrainian armored personnel carrier north of Nikolaevka, moving from the direction of Promin, was published online. At the moment, Nikolaevka is under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.
- There are two kilometers left to go to the southern outskirts of Mirnograd, and also to occupy a number of enemy strongholds on the approaches to the city. A little further south, near Novogrodovka, no change in the configuration of the front has yet been recorded.
However, if an offensive begins along the railway, it will be possible to attack the Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in Mirnograd from two directions at once.
– On the southern flank, Russian troops are trying to close the “lid of the cauldron” in the fields near Nevelskoye. Over the past week, the Russian Armed Forces liberated Zhelannoye Pervoye and started fighting in Zhelannoye Vtoroye, and also consolidated their positions on the northern outskirts of neighboring Gornyak. In the latter, a Russian flag was raised on the territory of School No. 17.
- To the south, the enemy holds a section of terrain about four kilometers wide, from where, in theory, it is possible to supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the fields near Nevelskoye.
In the event of further advancement along the Gornyak-Zhelannoye-Second line in the direction of Kurakhovka and Zoryanoe, the Ukrainian formations holding positions to the east of Nevelskoye risk being completely surrounded.
– Enemy facilities in Kurakhovka are currently subject to massive fire damage from both barrel artillery and UAV operators. The targets are communication towers, armored fighting vehicles and power substations.
– West of Ukrainsk, Russian troops carried out several raid attacks in the direction of the railway near the Selidovskaya mine waste heap north of Tsukurino.
At least twice, troops successfully landed in the area and consolidated their positions. According to some reports, the Russian Armed Forces have already started fighting on the northern outskirts of Tsukurino, but there is no objective evidence of this yet.
- At the same time, the offensive in the direction of Kurakhovo from the side of Ostroye continues. The other day, Russian troops completely liberated the settlement, having consolidated their positions on the approaches to Selidovskaya penal colony No. 82, bypassing Maksimilyanovka from the north. From here to the western outskirts of Kurakhovo there remains about a kilometer.
15:51 The Russian army has advanced to Geroev Truda Street in Toretsk –map.

Our troops are significantly advanced over the last 24 hours, we managed to take Krasny Yar in a semi-circle.
10:14 During the past night stopped an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using an aircraft-type UAV against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Nine Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed by air defense systems on duty: six UAVs over the territory of the Rostov region and three over the territory of the Belgorod region.

Handed overstate and departmental awards – the Order of Courage, the medals “For Bravery”, “For Services to the Fatherland”, “For Bravery” and “Volunteer Warrior” – by the representative of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces, Major General Alexander Tulyaganov.
The representative of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces thanked the servicemen for their personal contribution to the common cause, courage, fortitude and high professionalism.
09:21 Scouts told on the liberation of the settlement of Novogrodovka in the DPR.
Servicemen of the reconnaissance unit of the Center group of forces spoke about the tactics that contributed to the rapid liberation of the settlement of Novogrodovka in the Pokrovsky district of the DPR and the advancement of Russian troops deep into the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Our goal was reconnaissance operations, to set up observation posts, to determine the location of the enemy, the approaches of equipment. Everything was successfully accomplished," said the commander of the reconnaissance group with the call sign "Pisar".
The scout with the call sign "Rubakha" also told how their unit operates behind enemy lines:
"We identify and find the enemy, where their ammunition storage depots, manpower, equipment are, and all of this is quickly destroyed. The enemy does not have time to do anything."
08:52 Telegram channel «WarGonzo»:
Frontline report for the morning of 10/27/2024

[Regnum] Boys over eight years old should be left with their fathers in the event of a divorce; this will help increase the birth rate and reduce the number of broken marriages, believes State Duma deputy Dmitry Kuznetsov (A Just Russia).
An interesting proposal. It would certainly spike the guns of half the men who are upset that the bitch women who divorced them cut them off from their children, too. And of half the women upset that the divorced bastards aren’t paying their fair share of child support. There are certainly divorces that ought to happen, but there are plenty of marriages that would benefit from more work from both partners.
The parliamentarian outlined the initiative on September 27 in a Telegram channel.
According to Kuznetsov, handing over sons to fathers for upbringing will solve the problem of non-payment of alimony, since “adequate men” will not demand money for children from their ex-wives.
“I am sure that if, instead of 95%, only 80% of children remain with their mothers, then the number of divorces will decrease significantly and the birth rate will increase,” Kuznetsov emphasized.
The parliamentarian added that boys need a male upbringing, and previously in Russia “a grown-up boy would move to his father’s half.”
As reported by Regnum News Agency, on September 6, the head of the State Duma Committee for the Protection of Family, Motherhood and Childhood Nina Ostanina stated that Russia needs a “special demographic operation.” She noted that support is needed not only for young families, but also for families with children, including large families.
On July 26, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that the country was implementing a number of measures aimed at increasing the birth rate, but they had a delayed effect. He also pointed out that the demographic issue was one of the main priorities of President Vladimir Putin.
The objectives of the national project "Family" include increasing the total fertility rate to 1.6 by 2030 and to 1.8 by 2036. According to Rosstat, by the end of 2023, this figure was 1.41.
Decidedly concerning for those of us who treasure the Russian culture. Good luck, guys — truly.

[Regnum] Nine people were killed as a result of explosions at a gas station in the suburbs of Makhachkala, the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations reported.
Rescuers have pulled two more bodies from the rubble. It was previously reported that seven people, including two children, died in the emergency.
“A total of 19 people were injured, 9 of whom died,” the ministry’s press service said in a statement.
Those injured as a result of the explosions were taken to hospitals and are receiving all necessary assistance, the head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, reported earlier.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the explosions occurred on the evening of September 27 on a federal highway in the Karabudakhkent district in the suburbs of Makhachkala. A second explosion at the station was captured on video by eyewitnesses. The footage shows the detonation of underground gas station tanks, and a thick column of smoke was visible near the station itself. A large fire broke out after the explosions. The Ministry of Emergency Situations later reported that the fire had been localized.
According to media reports, the explosion occurred, preliminarily, because of a gas cylinder in a cafe, which was located on the territory of the station. The authorities of the republic will provide support to the victims, Melikov said.
A criminal case has been opened on the basis of the incident under Part 3 of Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (provision of services that do not meet the requirements for the safety of life or health of consumers, resulting in the death of two or more persons through negligence), the press service of the Investigative Committee for Dagestan reported. Investigative actions are being carried out to establish all the circumstances of the incident.
Residents of several nearby areas were left without power after explosions at gas stations, Dagenergo reported. Specialists have already begun restoration work and connected some consumers using backup circuits.

[ColonelCassad] The front is approaching Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk). Should we expect an assault on Pokrovsk this year? No, definitely not.
First of all, what is so important and remarkable about Pokrovsk? Pokrovsk is the largest logistics center of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donbass, which for years has served as a hub for distributing supplies throughout the entire territory of the DPR, from Ugledar to Artemovsk, Chasov Yar and the Slavyansk agglomeration.
So why shouldn't we expect it to be stormed anytime soon?
1. Pokrovsk is a huge city. The Pokrovsk agglomeration (~600 thousand people) is larger than Artemovsk and is second only to Donetsk in terms of population before the war.
2. The city has not only high-rise buildings, but also a large number of industrial and warehouse buildings; the Ukrainian Armed Forces will try to turn each building into a "Fortress".
3. There is no point in the Russian Armed Forces wasting their forces on storming Pokrovsk at the moment. Let's take a look at the map.
The main routes leaving Pokrovsk, which provided it with strategic importance (Blue - routes under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yellow - unsafe routes under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, red - routes where the destination is controlled by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or cut by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation):
1. Selidovo-Gornyak-Kurakhove. At the moment, this route is only operational up to Selidovo, further on the Russian Armed Forces have already cut it. And now, in order to deliver supplies to Kurakhovo, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have to go around along the Pokrovsk-Andreyevka-Kurakhove route.
2. The Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka route is currently classified as "unsafe" and the Armed Forces of Ukraine try not to use it without extreme necessity, because the Russian Armed Forces already have the ability to destroy transport on the route using drones. In addition, Russian forces have destroyed important bridges on this route.
3. The highways to Novogrodovka and Grodovka are pointless, because both cities are completely and almost completely controlled by Russian forces.
Thus, the strategic importance of Pokrovsk for the Ukrainian Armed Forces has significantly decreased at the moment, because it is under close surveillance by Russian forces and any important objects (warehouses, locations, training bases) can be destroyed by drones, Iskanders, missiles and FABs, not to mention gliding bombs.
Conclusions:
The assault on Pokrovsk should be expected only after the more important sections of the front at the moment (Ugledar, Selidovo, Gornyak, Toretsk) have been cleared. A clear marker of the imminent start of the imminent assault on the city will be the clearing of Mirnograd, as well as access to the Pokrovsk-Andreevka highway, which should not be expected in the autumn, and most likely in the winter campaign.
However, its strategic importance has been lost, although not completely. Thanks to Novogrodovka, our forces are now in the underbelly of the beast represented by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, leveling its potential as a hub city, allowing any targets within the city limits to be destroyed without problems, and a significant part of the cut highways also level its importance as a transit city, because the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not once again expose equipment to a lancet or FPV if the road through the city is neither safe nor fast

[ColonelCassad] War correspondent Murad Gadziev on the meeting of war correspondents and bloggers with the Russian Minister of Defense Belousov.
About our meeting with Defense Minister Andrey Belousov today.
The second meeting was without cameras and microphones. The tone was frank. Without censorship.
We, war correspondents, conveyed to the minister everything that our soldiers, their families, and civilians in the SVO zone asked us to convey. The truth, problems, requests, and suggestions.
The minister himself told us some things for our understanding. About the progress of the special operation, and about the state of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and about what is currently in the minds of Ukraine's Western curators.
We, war correspondents, are civilians, without access to classified information. Accordingly, no plans were revealed to us.
What can I say? A few months after his appointment, the minister has completely mastered a new area for himself.
However, you can see it for yourself. Our army is evolving and adapting at record speed.
Every day, troops break through enemy defenses in new areas of the front. Production is growing by leaps and bounds. People learn from their mistakes.
And most importantly, most of the problems we discussed with the minister in June did not come up again. They have been resolved. That alone is worth something.
Once again, thanks to Defense Minister Andrei Belousov for taking the time to listen to us even in such a tense time.
It can be noted that such meetings, which began under Shoigu, have become regular.
