Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] 23:16 Moldovan Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilitsa accused Russia of violating sovereignty: “It is unacceptable that three Russian missiles aimed at Ukraine flew over Moldova, creating a threat to civil aviation, and therefore to human lives on the territory of our country. This is a violation of the sovereignty of our state which is seriously contrary to international law."

23:14 Power supply in Lviv has resumed by almost 100%, individual houses remain without electricity - emergency services are working there. Power supply was also resumed in 90% of settlements in the districts of the Lviv region, said the head of the OVA Maxim Kozitsky.

23:11 The European Commission is working to provide Ukraine with about 1.5 billion euros of budget support every month in 2023, Politico writes, citing European officials.

23:09 Biden, in a conversation with Zelensky, promised to provide advanced air defense systems , the White House said.

22:46 This evening, residents of Kiev and the Kiev region reduced electricity consumption by 26.5% compared to a typical autumn day, Ukrenergo reported. The total capacity of electrical appliances that consumers voluntarily did not turn on during this period is equal to the capacity of more than 93,000 electric kettles or 46,000 washing machines. This helped not to overload the operating power grids and allowed the dispatch center of Ukrenergo to balance the power system at a critical moment of the day, the company said.

22:38 Zelensky posted a video of today's shelling of Ukraine:

22:14 Zelensky said that he had a "productive conversation" with Biden: "The main topic of discussion was air defense. Now this is the number one priority in our defense cooperation. America's leadership is very important for Ukraine on the tough position of the G7 and support for our resolution at the UN General Assembly ".

22:10 Zelensky said that an emergency meeting of the G7 is scheduled for tomorrow, and Ukraine is also working on a resolution for the UN General Assembly to condemn Russia.

21:59 Zelensky, in an evening video message, said that every ten minutes he receives a message about downed Iranian Shahed drones: "Out of 84 Russian missiles launched against Ukraine, 43 were shot down. Out of 24 Russian drones, 13 were shot down. And even after that, every ten minutes I get message about downed Iranian Shaheeds. Only in the last hours:

16:28 - Shahid is destroyed, Letka region.
17:26 - Kremenchug, Shahid is destroyed.
17:36 - Cherkasy, Shahid is destroyed.
17:40 - Dolgintsevo, Krivoy Rog, Shahid is destroyed.
17:50 - Apostolic, Shahid is destroyed.

And so the whole day. Now as I speak, I continue to receive these messages. Therefore, follow the safety rules and pay attention to the air raid alert. The danger is still there."

21:54 The EU will help Ukraine prepare for winter, said the head of the European Council Charles Michel: "The European Union remains firmly committed to supporting Ukraine in political, financial, military and humanitarian aspects, as well as in the issue of its reconstruction and meeting the needs in preparation for winter ".

21:40 As of 21:00, as a result of rocket attacks throughout Ukraine, 14 people were killed, 97 were injured , the State Emergency Service reported. 1307 settlements remain de-energized in Kyiv (13), Lviv (353), Sumy (766), Ternopil (169) and Khmelnytsky (6) regions.

21:33 Reznikov said that on the issue of negotiations with the West today's shelling, "the Russians did everything for us": "If in recent months, in conversations with partners, we had to look for ways to prevent "fatigue" from Ukraine, now the Russians have done everything for us They have clearly shown that they are deliberately arranging a humanitarian crisis that will hit not only Ukraine, but throughout Europe."

According to the minister, the destruction of life support infrastructure could provoke new waves of refugees: “Hundreds of thousands of those who returned from Europe may be forced to seek refuge there again ... Against this background, it is much easier to explain why we need additional weapons very quickly, primarily air defense and PRO. "Our specialists have proven their skills by shooting down almost half of the missiles and kamikaze drones. By providing the Ukrainian Defense Forces with more assets, the level of threat from the air can be significantly reduced."

"In the coming days, fewer words will be needed during meetings in the Ramstein format and at NATO headquarters. The Russians themselves are doing everything to maximize the list of legitimate targets to neutralize risks," Reznikov stressed.

21:26 Mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov reports loud explosions in the city.

21:23 Forbes has calculated that on October 10, Russia fired missiles and drones on the territory of Ukraine in the amount of 400 to 700 million dollars.

21:18 The Polish Foreign Ministry called on its citizens to leave Belarus and refrain from traveling to this country.

21:15 There is no practical military sense in today's large-scale terrorist attacks and they will not affect the ability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and their goal is to entail a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukrainian cities in order to provoke another wave of migration and psychologically break Ukrainians, Yermak said. According to him, what the Russians are doing now is a strategy of forcing negotiations on the terms of the Russian Federation. "We will not submit, because the existence of Ukraine as a state and as a nation depends on our victory. For Ukraine, peace on Russian terms is unacceptable," the head of the President's Office stressed.

"It has been repeated many times that Russia should not win the war. It's time to edit this phrase. Ukraine must win the war. Any other option will encourage Russia to repeat it," Yermak said.

20:58 Zaluzhny published a scheme of Russian missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine (the situation as of 10:20-11:00). The enemy used air, sea and land-based cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, anti-aircraft guided missiles, reconnaissance and strike UAVs of the Shahed-136 type.

The Commander-in-Chief emphasized that the air defense forces and means of the Air Force, the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and anti-aircraft crews destroyed most of the deadly missiles and ammunition: “In conditions of such intensity of strikes simultaneously in all directions, they demonstrated professionalism and dedication. We are forced to repel these attacks by using Soviet-era weapons, which, moreover, we have in insufficient quantities. The security of Ukraine and all of Europe is in the skillful hands of our soldiers."

20:40 The enemy fired 18 missiles across Dnepropetrovsk region today, five of them were shot down by air defense forces. As a result of the blows, four people died, 31 were injured, ten of them were in the hospital, four were in serious condition, said the head of the regional council Nikolai Lukashuk.

20:34 Rolling blackouts in Ukraine may last for several days, said the head of Ukrenergo Volodymyr Kudrytsky. According to him, a stable electricity supply throughout the country is planned to be restored in a few days, during which additional consumption restrictions will be required. At the same time, he assured that these would be controlled restrictions - "a few hours, no more."

20:32 Kuleba said that none of his Western colleagues talked about negotiations with Russia by phone after today's missile strikes.

20:30 Danilov said that there would be no talk about Ukraine without Ukraine: "I would like to draw your attention to the fact that we have a decision of the National Security and Defense Council, which clearly states that we can no longer negotiate with President Putin. This is impossible."

20:24 Biden said that the United States strongly condemns today's Russian missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine, including Kiev: "They once again demonstrate the extreme brutality of Putin's illegal war against the Ukrainian people ... These attacks further strengthen our intention to support the people of Ukraine Together with our allies and partners, we will continue to sanction Russia for its aggression and work to hold Putin and Russia accountable for their atrocities and war crimes, and provide the support Ukrainian forces need to defend their country and freedom. We once again call on Russia to immediately stop this unprovoked aggression and withdraw its troops from Ukraine."

20:17 Zelensky said that he had a conversation with UN Secretary General António Guterres: "Thanked for the strong condemnation of the Russian massive rocket attack on Ukraine. He informed in detail about the scale and consequences of another bloody crime of Russia. We were unanimous: the world must respond immediately. We discussed the situation at the ZNPP and grain initiative.

20:00 Zelensky said that together with Angolan President Juan Lourenço, he discussed the terrorist rocket attacks on Ukraine by Russia, "we talked about important issues of cooperation within the UN, we are working to ensure that the world takes a clear and tough position in relation to Russian aggression."

19:39 Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda urged to provide Ukraine with more weapons: "Russian cruelty has no limits. Kiev and other Ukrainian cities have again been shelled by the Russian army. They are aimed at city centers, residential buildings, roads at rush hour. This is state terrorism in its purest form . More weapons so that Ukraine can defeat this evil."

19:37 The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the second "big" air alert after lunch on October 10 was primarily announced due to Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drones that attacked Kiev and the northern regions of Ukraine from the direction of the Kursk region and Belarus. Nine of these UAVs were destroyed by the air defense forces of the air command Center. The invaders also attacked the east of Ukraine with these drones.

He recalled that the recently appointed head of the Russian army in Ukraine, Sergei Surovikin, is known for the fact that, without serving in aviation, he headed the Aerospace Forces of the Russian Federation, and before that, the air group of Russians in Syria.

"This is his style, the style of the new Gauleiter of the occupying army in Ukraine - to throw rockets at infrastructure, in particular, civilian infrastructure. He knows that planes fly and you can launch rockets from them. That, in fact, they did this in order to show that Putin's new personnel appointments in Russia have some significance, show some quick results," Yusov said.

In this way he wants to sow chaos and panic in us. But I want to reassure all our citizens that he doesn’t have so many of all these missiles left, and they will run out sooner or later. And we know for sure that there are already much fewer of them than there were before February 24."
