Russians. These are the realities of today's war. Thanks to the Pole brothers."
23:04 About 30% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been hit by Russian missiles since Monday, October 10, Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko said.
21:55 In Orekhov, Zaporozhye region, while performing work to restore a damaged power line, two employees of regional power networks were killed during repeated enemy shelling. Two more with wounds were evacuated to the hospital, said the head of the OVA Alexander Starukh.
21:49 Zelensky, in an evening video message, urged Ukrainians to continue saving electricity at peak times: "I thank all Ukrainians who listened yesterday and limited electricity consumption during peak hours - from 17 to 22. Thanks to our conscientiousness, we managed to save a tenth of the country's average energy, which allowed the system to work more stable. And our goal should be to save a quarter of the electricity during these peak hours. Today and in the near future it is worth doing it. Please transfer the energy consumption of equipment that requires a lot of electricity to other hours of the day. It is not difficult for an individual, and it gives a great result on the scale of our country."
21:35 In the Lviv region, four important electrical substations were disabled due to rocket attacks, so there are serious problems with a stable power supply in Lviv, Mayor Andriy Sadovy said. He called for minimizing the use of electricity in homes.
21:19 Podolyak on NATO's position on the nuclear threat from the Russian Federation: "Clearly and to the letter - for especially hot Russian heads. NATO's official position is" an immediate tough response to an attempt to use nuclear weapons, including on the territory of Ukraine. "Quite specifically , no evasions. Exactly what Ukraine wanted to hear."

"Dear defenders and defenders of the educational, scientific and cultural achievements of mankind! Please tell me why the representatives of Russia are still among you? What are they doing at UNESCO? A terrorist state definitely does not have the right to chair one of the key bodies for the protection of cultural and natural heritage - the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. Such a Russian chairmanship devalues the institution itself - its weight, its reputation. A terrorist state should be excluded from all bodies of UNESCO and the Organization itself," the President stressed.

Schedules of emergency shutdowns can last more than two hours and are published on the websites of oblenergos.
17:26 In the Vinnitsa region, a regime of total energy savings is being introduced, said the head of the OVA, Serhiy Borzov.

17:00 Zelensky addressed the participants of the G7 extraordinary meeting and called for a symmetrical response to the Russian aggression: "When Russia attacks the energy sector and the energy stability of our countries, it is necessary to block its energy sector with sanctions, break the stability of Russian income from oil and gas trade. We need a hard ceiling for the export of oil and gas from Russia - zero profit for the terrorist state. It is precisely such steps that can bring peace closer: they encourage the terrorist state to think about peace, about the unprofitability of war."
"It is also necessary to recognize the obvious fact: there can be no dialogue with this leader of Russia without a future. Conversations can be either with another leader of Russia - who will recognize the UN Charter, the basic principles of humanity and the territorial integrity of Ukraine - or in another configuration, so that "The key terrorist did not have the opportunity, thanks to terror, to influence key decisions. Now one person is blocking the world - and this person is in Moscow," the President stressed.

16:51 Stoltenberg said that the victory of Russia will be the defeat of NATO, and this cannot be allowed. According to him, yesterday's missile strikes on Ukraine is a sign of Russian weakness, because the Russian Federation is not moving forward on the battlefield. The Secretary General also warned that hybrid and cyber attacks on the infrastructure of NATO countries could cause the activation of the 5th article of the collective defense treaty.
16:43 NATO will hold exercises on nuclear deterrence next week, Stoltenberg said at a press conference in Brussels. According to him, this should help prevent an escalation. At the same time, the Secretary General said that NATO sees no signs of Russia's intention to use nuclear weapons, but remains vigilant.

16:19 The Russians have kidnapped and, probably, they are torturing and intimidating the deputy general director of the ZNPP for personnel Valery Martynyuk. According to Energoatom, in this way the occupiers are trying to obtain information they desperately need about the personal files of the employees of the Zaporizhzhya NPP in order to force the Ukrainian personnel to work for Rosatom as soon as possible. The occupiers literally use torture against the nuclear workers of the ZNPP, not disdaining the most cruel bullying.

10:38 British intelligence believes that Russia's appointment of General Sergei Surovikin as commander-in-chief of the Joint Group of Forces, which is conducting a "special military operation" in Ukraine, demonstrates the attempts of the Russian power bloc to increase the effectiveness of hostilities.

08:49 Russia was planning massive airstrikes on Ukraine even before the explosion on the Crimean bridge, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told CNN: “Most likely, this was something they had been planning for quite a long time. This does not mean that the explosion on the Crimean bridge may have accelerated some of their plans." According to him, attacks of this magnitude could not have been planned in a few days.
08:41 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that the Kremlin can use additional Russian forces in Belarus in order to fix Ukrainian troops near Kiev and prevent them from being transferred to other places to participate in counteroffensives.

The ISW also notes that Putin ordered missile strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure, probably in part to appease the Russian military nationalist camp, which demanded retribution.
In the meantime, as of October 10, Ukrainian forces have likely liberated more than 200 sq. km of territory in the west of the Luhansk region, while Russian troops continued unsuccessful attempts to regain the recently lost territories in the north-west of the Kherson region, reinforcing nearby positions with the defeated and hastily mobilized units.
