On October 13, 2025, the Russia-Ukraine War entered its 1327th day.
In the direction of Pokrovsk, at the Dubrovnik outpost, the Russian troops deployed three brigades and one naval regiment to launch an offensive, attempting to penetrate the gray zone of the bottom, but failed.
This is the latest map, where Kucheriv Yar (in the top of the siege) is still in Russian hands and has not been eaten:
In the direction of the city, the Institute of War Studies, citing Russian sources, said that the Russian army occupied the Pokrovsk train in the central city on October 12, but I am skeptical about it. The Russian army only defeated in the southern suburbs a few days ago, and it is unlikely to make a breakthrough so quickly – the Ukrainian army this time blocked the natural gas pipeline and drainage in its control zone in advance, and it is unlikely that the attack would be successful.
On the Zaporozhye front line, a report from the Ukrainian General Staff Headquarters stated that "our army pushed back 3.5 kilometers and eliminated a large number of Russian occupiers."
Among them, the troops of the 24th Independent Assault Camp of the Ukrainian Armed Forces "Adal" together with the 33rd Independent Assault Corps recovered the village of Marisherbaki.
It is worth mentioning that in this round of counterattack, Soldier Roman (codenamed "Technician") in the 1st Assault Camp of the 210 Independent Assault Corps quickly shot down a Russian drone flying toward a warrior — using an assault rifle, not a shell.
In the direction of Kupyansk, the grey area expanded further.
Ukrainian sources explained that Russian soldiers dressed in civilian clothes approached the city and hid in the basement or empty houses along the way, waiting for the time to attack Ukrainian bases, so the situation was rather chaotic. Russian troops appeared in many places, but it does not mean that they had already controlled there.
In the direction of Shevelsk, the Russian troops had already crossed the Bachmutka River and attacked the settlements of Dronevka (not yet fully occupied).
The Russian army’s current main approach is to repeat the minority-driven marshal brigade/regiment and rifle brigade/regiment, to search for Ukrainian defensive weak areas, then to launch sharp forces to attack there, and finally to follow the occupation by the territory defensive brigade, which is mainly mobilized by the troops.
This style of play can indeed make the front move forward slowly, but the casualties are extremely heavy. Especially after the Ukrainian army's drone wall was built, the casualty ratio on both sides became greater and greater.
The battle result announced yesterday by the U.S. General Assembly killed and wounded 1140 people.
Let's take a look at other news.
Estonian police and border guards told Estonian news media that they had observed “activities of armed groups at and near the border.”
Ukraine and British BAE signed a cooperation agreement authorizing the joint production of the L119 105mm light howitzer in Ukraine.
Russian soldier Pavel Gugeyev was sentenced by a Russian court to four years in prison after returning from a Ukraine prisoner camp. The reason was that he was interviewed by Ukraine journalist Karpenko during his capture.
In the interview, Gugeev talked about the situation he witnessed directly on the frontline. A Russian court found him guilty under a criminal clause called "cooperating with foreigners on confidentiality matters". This clause is similar to the clause "Crime of State Betrayal", but it is not necessary to pass out any secret information in order to constitute a crime.
The Crimean oil reservoir in Feudozia was blown up again.
Lukashenko said Ukraine as a sovereign country could disappear, and Russia would move forward anyway, so Ukraine needs to hurry the time to negotiate.
Lao Lu is still too kind to warn Russia's enemies. It is simply a betrayal...
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine said that the Ukraine and American teams are currently reaching an agreement on all details of providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. This involves the parameters and configuration of the Tomahawk that may be provided to Ukraine.
But the three-day Trump claimed to give Putin another chance, saying he might call Putin and tell him, “If this war cannot be solved, I’ll send them a tactical missile.”
But so far, I still don't think Trump can successfully mediate in a short time (such as within this year). It is safe to say that unless he can't hold on, Putin will not change his goals, no matter how high the cost is-only if he is a part of the price, he will not do whatever it takes.
Canadian Senator Stan Kutcher said: "As a former history student, I can tell you that if one party fails to a decisive victory, it is rare to have lasting peace.The empire will not stop colonizing until it is defeated. The only sustainable path is a victory for Ukraine. When Russia loses, then we can talk about peace”。
These words are thorough!
