[Korrespondent] 21:35 Zelensky in an evening video address stated the need "to prevent Russia and its accomplices from adapting to our capabilities. We see that the alliance between Russia and regimes like North Korea is growing. This is no longer just about the transfer of weapons. This is actually about the transfer of people from North Korea to the military forces of the occupier."
The President stressed that "in such conditions, our relations with partners need to develop, the front needs more support." "When we talk about greater range for Ukraine and more decisive supplies for our forces, this is not just a list of military means. This is about increasing pressure on the aggressor, which will be stronger for Russia than they can withstand. And this is about preventing a bigger war," Zelensky said.
19:35 Biden will arrive in Germany on Thursday, October 17, but a "quiet visit" is planned, without a meeting in the Ramstein format, German TV channel ZDF reports, citing diplomatic sources.

17:59 The Washington Post writes that illegal Starlink terminals helped the Russian army advance on the front, including capturing Vuhledar.

According to sources in the 1st OTBR, this happened on October 10 near the village of Zeleny Shlyakh.

At the same time, the chancellor did not say a categorical "no".

05:47 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces likely shot down a Russian Su-34 fighter jet from an American F-16. Experts analyzed statements from Russian military publics on October 12, which reported that a Ukrainian F-16 allegedly shot down a Russian Su-34 fighter jet when it was dropping bombs at a distance of about 50 km from the front line. At the same time, ISW notes that they cannot independently confirm such statements. "However, if this is confirmed, the incident will be the first Ukrainian shootdown of a Russian manned aircraft from an F-16 fighter provided by the West," the ISW report says.

19:17 Rocket hit at the Limanskoye airfield
– At night, high-precision weapons struck the Limanskoye airfield in the Odessa region, which is located in the western part of Ukraine near Transnistria.
– Surveillance cameras recorded one landing on the territory of the military base. The target of the strike was objects located at the airfield, as well as those stored in hangars.
- Limanske is one of the main launch sites for Ukrainian drones that the enemy launches in the direction of the Crimean Peninsula. UAVs are also assembled there. The distance from Odessa, which is often subjected to strikes by the Russian Armed Forces, and a convenient runway made the facility ideally suited for these purposes. At least a third of all UAVs launched took off from Limanske.
– Another reason for the strikes on Limanskoye is the proximity to railway lines, including from Moldova. The railway flow through Tarutino and Zatoka to Odessa and from there to other regions has been functioning for almost a year.
– Fuel, various parts and equipment, including for drone assembly, are delivered to Ukraine via Moldova. Similar workshops were at the airfields in Artsyz, Belgorod-Dnistrovsky and Limansky.

Vrem'yevskoye direction: liberation of Levandnoye.
- After successful actions on the neighboring section of the front and the liberation of Ugledar, Russian troops went on the offensive in the Vremyevsk direction. The situation in this area after the completion of the cleansing in Staromayorskoye and Urozhaynoye in recent weeks was characterized by positional battles.
– Last summer, the Russian Armed Forces retreated from Levadnoye during the enemy counteroffensive and consolidated their positions several kilometers south of the village. Now, the Baltic Fleet naval Infantry from the assault detachment of the 336th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade have made a breakthrough and completely dislodged the enemy from the settlement.
– The enemy’s resources have disseminated information that motorized rifle units of the Russian Armed Forces participated in the attack, and that their successful actions were due to the low readiness of Ukrainian formations to repel attacks.
– Footage of current control has appeared on the Internet, recording a significant advance of Russian fighters to the north. The relevance of the materials was confirmed by our sources on the ground; at the moment, the flag has been hoisted on the north-eastern outskirts of Levandnoye.
– There are also reports of the Russian Armed Forces advancing in the direction of Novodarovka, located to the northeast. Here, the Russian army has the opportunity to advance along the highway connecting the village with the Russian Priyutnoye. A 2S22 Bogdana self-propelled gun was hit in the Novodarovka area.
– On the right flank of the direction, there is currently a lull north of Staromayorsky and Urozhayny, where earlier a sapper unit of the Russian Armed Forces blew up a bridge near Makarovka, and attack aircraft expanded the control zone on the left bank of the Mokrye Yaly River.

16:11 Regarding Levandny.
Today the enemy's resources confirmed the loss of the village of Levadnoye on the Vrem'yevskiy salient, as well as the strongholds near it. According to statements from enemy resources, they were expecting our attack to be prepared, but they were negligent in their counteraction, which resulted in the rapid loss of positions for which the Ukrainian Armed Forces paid a heavy price in the summer of 2023. Our sources today also confirm the occupation of Levadnoye.

Heavy urban fighting continues in Dzerzhinsk, but despite fierce resistance, Russian troops are also making steady advances here. (Fig. 2)
- Chasovoyarsk direction. No significant changes in LBS. Local battles continue.
– Kursk region. This night, the Russian Armed Forces began an active fire strike with long-range weapons against the positions of Ukrainian troops in the Sudzhansky district. Most likely, in the next few days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be forced to leave a number of territories in this area. In the Korenevsky district, fighting continues on the outskirts of Ol'govka, and although Russian troops entered the settlement from both sides, pushing the enemy back to the center, it is too early to talk about complete liberation – a number of positions continue to remain under the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
But we can say with confidence that this will not last long. In the Glushkovsky district, there are no significant changes. No attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to advance deep into our territory have been recorded, however, it is too early to say that they will not be undertaken again.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] Analytical material on dry cargo ships calling at Odessa ports.
The cost of insurance for ships heading to Ukrainian ports has skyrocketed. Oh, what happened?
Bloomberg reports that over the past week, insurance for ships passing through Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea has risen significantly. Now it exceeds 1% of the value of the ship. For a ship worth $ 50 million, this means an additional $ 125,000 per voyage. All this is not without reason, because recently the Russian Aerospace Forces have been striking Odessa ports when ships call there to unload, after the strikes both the port infrastructure and the ships themselves are destroyed.
"We hear that civilian ships, like the cargo in them, detonate like real ammunition, but perhaps it is just incendiary grain there.
From the very beginning of the grain deal, I said that they carry weapons and strike from these ships (UAVs and missiles, then remove the guides for the missiles from the deck).
B 6 cargo ships approached Odessa roadstead (they are marked with green triangles on the explication).
About the route: from the port of Burgas (Bulgaria) to the port of Odessa (Ukraine).
The vessel ANNABELLA (IMO: 8919788) is a general purpose cargo vessel and flies the flag of Comoros. Its length overall (LOA) is 122.6 meters, and its width is 21.5 meters.
AMIRA SARA (IMO: 9691503) is a dry cargo vessel sailing under the flag of Barbados. Its length overall (LOA) is 169.37 meters, and its width is 27.2 meters.
The vessel ZELEK STAR (IMO: 9379117) is a general purpose cargo vessel and flies the flag of Panama. Its overall length (LOA) is 90 meters, and its width is 14 meters.
We can assume that throughout the SVO, from its very beginning, Ukrainian ports received weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, delivered under different flags, by civilian cargo ships. In addition, these ships could be used to strike Crimea and Sevastopol - UAVs, unmanned aerial vehicles and missile weapons.
