On October 21, 2025, the Russian-Ukrainian war entered its 1335th day.
Russia's Orenburg natural gas processing plant was attacked by Ukrainian drones yesterday and ignited a fire.
The Orenburg gas treatment plant is one of the largest gas treatment plants in Russia, with an annual operating capacity of 45 billion cubic meters.
On the other hand, Ukrainian drones are frequently deployed to hit the Russian supply line.
The Ukrainian E-300 drone is preparing for combat missions. It can be used for both bombing and suicide attacks.
In the Sumerian direction, Ukrainian troops had already entered central Alexeevka, and the Russian troops are still occupying the northern area, although it is estimated that they would soon give up and withdraw.
In the direction of Pokrovsk, geo-location information shows that the Russian troops appeared along the railway line in the eastern urban area, and very close to the northeastern high-level area. Russian intelligence says that some Russian troops have established solid positions and control zones within the city. Given that the Ukrainian troops yesterday fired the Pokrovsk railway station, this claim should still be popular.
The positioning information also confirmed for the first time that Russian troops crossed the Dnipro-Pavlovsk-Pokrovsk highway (M-30) west of Pokrovsk.
In Dubrovnik, the Ukrainian army continued to clean up Russian troops in the siege. In the past week, Russian troops suffered significant losses in the Dubrovnik region:
• 657 deaths;
• 555 injuries;
·Captured 4 celebrities.
· 4 tanks
• 19 armored vehicles;
• 39 artillery systems;
·0 cars and motorcycles, including 57 cars and trucks,
73 motorcycles and four wheeled wagons;
226 drones of all kinds.
The battle result announced yesterday by the U.S. General Assembly killed and wounded 1130 people.
Let's take a look at other news.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said, "Russia has increased its propaganda expenses by 54% in the federal budget for 2026. This is a very clear indication of the priorities of this aggressive country-they do not know the battlefield, but are betting on the spread of false information against the population."-
According to the New York Times, during a live ammunition demonstration at Camp Pendleton, a 155-mm shell exploded on Interstate 5 as Vice President Vance's motorcade passed by. Shrapnel hit an escort motorcycle, a road patrol car and several parked cars.
Canada is considering reducing its previous purchases of 88 F-35As in the United States to replace the Swedish JAS-39 E/F.
The leader of the “People’s Servant” party, Olynna Schulyak, said Ukraine was preparing a new housing policy bill specifically to ensure that orphans and those deprived of parental care have access to housing after leaving kindergartens or foster homes.
Ukraine's Security Service has detained a bank employee in Odessa who "leaked" personal data of military customers of the financial institution to The Russian Federation Security Service.
Former Health Minister of Lithuania Peggy Koskas, along with other volunteers, participated in a two-week rescue effort in the Donetsk War Zone.
Ukraine President Zelensky revealed that it was U.S. Special Envoy Vitkov who put forward the idea of Ukraine abandoning Donbas during a meeting in Washington.
Witkov's argument is that the outcome of the Donbass "referendum" has been written into the Russian constitution.Zelensky replied:
"If Putin adds something to the Constitution tomorrow-do we have to give up again? If I write two Russian regions into the Ukrainian Constitution, will they withdraw their troops from these regions?"
We have said this many times, and Zelensky could not accept such conditions (and most Ukrainians could not).
Zelensky said that Ukraine's position on this issue remains unchanged, and said that he conveyed this position to the United States during his talks with Donald Trump, and "Trump has heard and understood this position."
Zelensky also said that Putin did not need Donbass, and that he made such demands because he tried to show "victory" in the war.
"Why does Putin need the administrative border of Donbass? he doesn't care about Donbass itself at all, and the Kremlin leader may seem to start building something, but will soon give up ... and Crimea has not become what's called the 'Pearl.'"
“Putin needs to show that he’s won the war... but who can guarantee he won’t move forward in a few years,” Zelensky said.
He also said it was unclear whether the Russians had actually offered territorial swaps-such as control of Donetsk and Luhansk in exchange for giving up parts of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. The US position, especially Trump's proposal, looks like suggesting that all parties stop at the current contact line.
Finally, I would like to end today's war report with a passage allegedly written by Zelensky:
"The day before yesterday, while bandaging a 19-year-old soldier in the trenches, he suddenly asked me, Mr. President, my father has died in Donbas for eight years. Why haven't we learned to live well? I looked at the blood oozing from his severed limb and couldn't answer.
I regret not being able to let these children smell the smell of the new year’s baked apple smell, regret the old grandmother chewing the muffled bread in the empty hole, regret the number of victims every dawn. but touching the soldiers’ cards that sweat in the chest, I never regret that we proved the song of the underground of the accelerated steel plant, can penetrate 30 meters of concrete. The courage of the Kiev street grandfather to roll the armoured car with a rod, and the female teacher who guarded the bodies of three children... These moments showed the world that the Ukrainians are not a color on the map, are people who will shed blood, will hurt but will never kneel.
At this moment, behind me is the burning land. In front of us, it is a civilized world that pretends to be invisible. Remember, when you think it's just a Slavic chore, it's actually a contest between kneeling knees and a straight spine. We don't need cheap tears, just the bullets of justice and the truth that never goes out ".
