He urged manufacturing plants, restaurants and coffee shops to arrange a "cleaning day" tomorrow or limit electricity consumption to the maximum.
23:24 Zelensky addressed the residents of the occupied territories: "In the near future, the invaders will try to take men into their army. Everywhere, just like in Donetsk and Lugansk. Avoid this as much as you can. Try to leave the occupied territory. If you don't You can do this and find yourself in Russian military structures, at the first opportunity, try to lay down your arms and come to Ukrainian positions. And most importantly, take care of your life. And be sure to help our other people who are close to you."
23:16 Zelensky said in an evening video message that three energy facilities had been destroyed by the enemy over the past 24 hours. The President called on all Ukrainians tomorrow, October 20, from 7:00 a.m. to be especially conscious about electricity consumption: “Please do not turn on unnecessary electrical equipment. Limit the electricity consumption of equipment that requires a lot of energy. Tomorrow it is very important that consumption be as conscious as possible. Then and the stabilization outage schedules will be shorter."
22:04 Power cuts across Ukraine will occur in turn, the duration of the queue is determined by the regional energy authorities, but no more than four hours, Ukrenergo explained.
22:02 In Nikolaev and the region, the work of electric transport will be limited tomorrow in order to save electricity, warned the head of the OVA Vitaly Kim.
21:45 The Russians are trying to organize a counter-offensive from the Luhansk region in the direction of the Liman, said the head of the OVA, Sergei Gaidai. He also said that the Russian troops are destroying Stelmakhivka with rocket artillery, from which they were recently ousted by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to Gaidai, protective concrete structures are being installed in the Lugansk region, which are called the "Wagner Line".
21:27 On Thursday, October 20, restrictions on the supply of electricity will be introduced throughout Ukraine , the President's Office warned. Starting from 7:00 to 23:00, it is necessary to minimize the use of electricity. This applies to residents of all regions of the country. If this is not done, you need to prepare for temporary shutdowns. Also, from tomorrow, street lighting will be limited in cities.
21:01 Martial law imposed by Putin on the occupied part of Ukraine is a "desperate tactic" to establish control over the annexed territories, a senior White House official told CNN. According to him, Putin's latest statement does not change the fact that Russia has no legitimate claims to the sovereign territory of Ukraine. He added that US support for Ukrainians remains unchanged.
20:57 In the Zaporozhye region, the occupying "authority" organized an "inventory" of the housing stock and a "census" of the population in order to search for and alienate housing for local residents who left the occupied territories, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said.
The General Staff also said that making up for the losses of Russian troops at the expense of prisoners brought additional problems to the command. So, after the defeat of the ammunition depot in the Kherson region on October 17, part of the unit involved in its protection was injured, and the rest fled. The divisions of the Russian Guard under the guise of fighting the DRG are looking for deserters.
In the Kherson region, the occupiers continue the practice of forcibly involving the local population to carry out fortification work - allegedly from among the violators of the curfew and citizens disloyal to the occupation authorities.
20:44 German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier canceled a visit to Kiev, which was scheduled for October 20, for security reasons, writes Bild.

19:34 The Embassy of Ukraine in Israel handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country an official letter with a request for the supply of a number of air defense and missile defense systems, writes Axios with reference to a copy of the document. The request is justified by the fact that Russia receives drones from Iran, and may soon receive Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar missiles - therefore, Iran will be able to see its weapons in action and subsequently improve them, which will increase the threats to Israel's security in the future.
19:27 Zelensky said that he had a telephone conversation with Erdogan: "Thanked for the unshakable position in support of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine. He noted the special role of Turkey in the grain initiative and its extension. We highly appreciated the interaction in the field of security."

And in Kyiv, he met with Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias, who visited Ukraine for the third time since the start of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation.
19:14 The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that the announcement of the so-called "martial law" by the Russian Federation in the occupied territories aims to suppress the resistance of the inhabitants of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, who oppose the Russian occupation.
"Putin's decree is void. It has no legal consequences for Ukraine and its citizens, as well as for the international community. However, such a step is another example of the crimes of the Russian leadership against the Ukrainian state and Ukrainians. Despite the agony of the regime in the Kremlin, Ukraine will continue to liberate the occupied territories and save their people," the statement said.
The Foreign Ministry called on international partners to condemn the intention of the Russian occupation administrations under the guise of the so-called "martial law" to deprive the residents of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine of even basic human rights, as well as their illegal plans to legalize looting, forced deportations and mobilization. The Foreign Ministry also calls on Ukraine to provide modern missile and air defense systems as soon as possible.
19:08 The United States will continue to provide financial support to Ukraine after the congressional elections, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said in an interview with CBS News. He stressed that providing assistance to Ukraine had great support from both sides in Congress - Democrats and Republicans - all eight months that the war has been going on.
"Everyone is aware that this is more than the defense of Kherson, Kyiv or, say, Slavyansk - this is about sovereignty, this is a matter of the entire European security structure, which has changed significantly today. And this is a matter of our national security," Kirby said.
19:02 The threat of an invasion from the territory of Belarus may increase significantly in the spring, Yevgeny Silkin, Assistant Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for Strategic Communications, said on the air of the telethon: "The probability of an aggressor's repeated invasion of Ukraine from Belarus is very low, but it is not completely ruled out. According to our assessment, Until the end of the year, the enemy will not be able to accumulate enough forces and means for a second offensive. And in the spring, such a threat may increase significantly."
18:49 Madagascar Foreign Minister Richard Randriamandrat was fired because he supported a UN resolution condemning Russia's annexation of four regions of Ukraine. President Henri Rajouelina said that the Foreign Minister had to observe traditional neutrality and abstain during the October 12 vote.

17:59 The Kiev city military administration urges the people of Kiev to save electricity and water. According to the KSVA, Kyiv currently saves only 7% of the 30% needed. "The power grid will not be turned off forcibly if we consume economically now," the department stressed.
To avoid rolling blackouts, it is necessary to limit the operation of energy-intensive appliances during peak hours from 6:00 to 9:00 and from 17:00 to 23:00. Energy-intensive appliances are electric stoves, boilers, electric floor heating, dishwashers, microwave ovens, heaters and air conditioners, washing machines and others. The KSCA specifically appeals to businesses: "Turn off signs, lights, do not leave indoor lighting and illumination turned on at night."
17:40 The European Parliament awarded the Sakharov Prize - the main EU award in the field of human rights - "to the brave people of Ukraine represented by President Zelensky, elected leaders and civil society."
"They stand up for what they believe in. They fight for our values. They defend democracy, freedom and the rule of law. They risk their lives for us," said MEP Roberta Metzolla.
17:28 Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov said that martial law in the occupied Ukrainian territories is preparation for deportation: " Putin's martial law in the annexed regions of Ukraine is preparation for mass deportation of the Ukrainian population to depressive regions of the Russian Federation to change the ethnic composition of the occupied territory. Crime which should be condemned by the UN, which has already been committed by Russia in Crimea and has gone unpunished."
17:12 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the Russian attack on Ukrainian cities "pure terror": "Russia's attack on civilian infrastructure, especially on energy facilities is a war crime. Disconnecting people from water, electricity and heating with the advent of winter are acts pure terror."
16:55 Republicans will reduce US aid to Ukraine next year if they win the midterm elections, said the leader of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy. Currently, Ukraine has bipartisan support in Congress, but the Republican faction believes that the US should not focus so much on foreign policy, but should focus on domestic issues.

According to him, in addition to weather conditions, an important factor for the start of the heating season is the need to save electricity: so that the people of Kiev do not turn on electric heaters and air conditioners and do not overload the power supply system.
16:00 Podolyak said that today's decisions of Putin do not change anything for Ukraine: "The introduction of "martial law" in the occupied territories by the Russian Federation should be considered only as a pseudo-legalization of looting and looting of property of Ukrainians before the next" regrouping ". For Ukraine, this does not change anything : we continue the liberation and de-occupation of our territories."

I want to clearly state that we will not sell weapons to Ukraine." At the same time, Gantz said that his country would help Ukraine develop an air defense warning system.

The leader of the Israeli opposition, former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also opposed the supply of weapons to Ukraine.

13:08 The Belarusian authorities are closely watching the "partial mobilization" in the Russian Federation and understand that if mobilization is announced in the Republic of Belarus, the situation will be even more complicated and could lead to a social explosion in the country, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports. According to intelligence, Lukashenka is increasingly aware of the danger of his decision to openly join Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine and therefore tries to continue to make loud statements and show Putin that by his actions he is fulfilling allied obligations, diverting a significant part of the reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from their possible use. at the front in the east and south of Ukraine.
In addition, under the guise of intensifying mobilization measures, the Belarusian special services are secretly studying the possible reaction of society and readiness to take part in protest events. This indicates that the Belarusian authorities are not confident in the support of the general population of decisions on the participation of their country in the military adventures of the Russian Federation, the Main Directorate of Defense of the Ministry of Defense notes.

12:53 The head of the Kherson Regional Council, Yuriy Sobolevsky, appealed to the chairmen of condominiums, medical staff and residents of Kherson with a request to be prepared for any provocations of the aggressor. He stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not shell cities and do not destroy critical infrastructure, while it is the Russians who bring the captured settlements to a humanitarian crisis.
Sobolevsky noted that the heads of condominiums and hospital workers should check the existing shelters for the possible acceptance of people there. According to him, hospitals in Kherson are humanitarian headquarters, you need to be ready to work in an enhanced mode. He urged the inhabitants of the city to collect an alarming suitcase with documents, water and food supplies for several days. "Ukraine is doing everything possible to keep you safe and that you do not need this suitcase. However, you must be ready," he added.
12:45 Yermak denied the statements of the Russian Federation that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are allegedly preparing to shell Kherson: "The Russians are trying to intimidate Kherson residents with fake mailings about the shelling of the city by our army, and they are also organizing a propaganda show with the evacuation. A rather primitive tactic, given that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not shell Ukrainian cities - this is done exclusively by Russian terrorists, who even in Russia have planes falling on residential buildings.
12:11 The Rada adopted a statement condemning Iran's assistance in armed aggression against Ukraine. In the document, in particular, the Ukrainian parliament calls on Iran to immediately stop deliveries of any weapons to the Russian Federation, and the world community to immediately take all possible measures to stop Iran from supplying weapons to the Russian Federation, and in case of refusal, to impose effective sanctions. The Rada also calls on the governments and parliaments of foreign states to contribute to a significant strengthening of Ukraine's defense capability, in particular, to immediately strengthen Ukraine's capabilities in the field of air and missile defense.
12:05 As a result of the night enemy shelling of Orekhov, Zaporozhye region, eight civilians were injured from multiple launch rocket systems. The shelling lasted about seven hours, private houses, the city council building, and an educational institution were damaged. Currently, there is no electricity and water supply in Orekhovo, said the head of the OVA, Alexander Starukh. In addition, according to him, the Russians fired at the city of Gulyaipole with S-300 missiles, according to preliminary data, there were no casualties.
11:54 Entry for civilians to the Kherson region is closed for a week, said "acting governor" Volodymyr Saldo. According to him, approximately 40% of the residents of Kherson and the region have already left. Boarding houses and hotels on the shores of the Black and Azov Seas are ready for their accommodation. Saldo also said that all "divisions and ministries of civil administration" of the Kherson region are moving to the left bank of the Dnieper.
11:29 Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani, in response to Kuleba's initiative to break off diplomatic relations between the countries, once again stated that Tehran did not send weapons, including Russian military drones, to be used in the war against Ukraine. He also announced his readiness to discuss the voiced claims with Kyiv.
11:12 As of October 19, since the first downing of an Iranian kamikaze drone Shahed-136 on the territory of Ukraine (September 13, Kupyansk), the air defense of the Air Force and other components of the Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed 223 UAVs of this type. According to the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, anti-aircraft missile units, fighter aircraft, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, mobile fire groups of MANPADS, anti-aircraft guns, heavy machine guns and other weapons are involved in the destruction of Shahed-136 loitering ammunition, which the invaders mark as Geran-2.
10:53 Beijing knows nothing about the attack of Russian drones on Kiev, when five people were killed and infrastructure was damaged, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said, answering a journalist's question. "China's position on the Ukrainian issue is consistent and clear. In the current circumstances, all parties concerned should exercise calmness and restraint, encourage and support all diplomatic efforts to promote a peaceful resolution of the crisis in Ukraine to jointly de-escalate the situation," the speaker added.
10:39 The head of the Nikolaev OVA, Vitaly Kim, was skeptical about the Russians' statements about possible "difficult decisions" in Kherson - he does not believe that the Russian Federation will retreat. Kim believes that the Russians are probably preparing to hit Kherson - they are digging fortifications for cannon artillery to hit the city.
10:18 Musk said that SpaceX is losing $ 20 million a month on Starlink services in Ukraine. According to him, the work of 11,000 out of 25,000 terminals is paid for by third parties, the rest of the expenses are covered by the company. “SpaceX is losing about $20 million a month in unpaid services and costs associated with increased security measures for cyber military protection, but we will continue to do this (sigh),” the billionaire wrote.
10:00 Acting "governor" of the Kherson region Vladimir Saldo said that about 50-60 thousand inhabitants of the right bank are planned to be transported to the left bank of the Dnieper, this will take about a week.
09:39 British intelligence writes that eight months after the start of the invasion, the main elements of the Russian military leadership are becoming increasingly incapacitated. At the tactical level, there is almost certainly a growing shortage of capable junior officers to organize and lead the newly mobilized reservists.
Eyewitness accounts indicate that on October 15, a fellow soldier shot 11 Russian soldiers near Belgorod after an officer made offensive comments about ethnic minority recruits. Poor low-level leadership is likely exacerbating low morale and poor unit cohesion in many parts of the Russian forces, analysts say.
Four of the five generals who directly commanded elements of the February 2022 invasion have now been fired. Their replacement has so far done little to improve Russia's combat performance. The lack of continuity in command is likely to be more damaging than in Western militaries because, according to Russian doctrine, the development of plans is mainly carried out personally by the commander, and not by the collective efforts of a wider headquarters, intelligence states.
09:35 Over the past 24 hours, the enemy has launched rocket attacks on Kharkov and fired at the territories of the Chuguevsky, Kharkov and Kupyansky regions adjacent to the collision line and the border with the Russian Federation, said the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. Two people were hospitalized with wounds - in Chuguevsky and Kupyansky districts.
09:33 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of October 19. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Bakhmut and Kramatorsk directions.
- personnel - about 66,280 (+430) people liquidated,
- tanks - 2554 (+6),
- armored combat vehicles - 5235 (+16),
- artillery systems - 1637 (+15),
- MLRS - 372 (+0),
- air defense systems - 189 (+1),
- aircraft - 269 (+1),
- helicopters - 242 (+0),
- UAV operational-tactical level - 1286 (+10),
- cruise missiles - 323 (+5),
- ships/boats - 16 (+0),
- automotive equipment and tankers - 3999 (+14),
- special equipment - 146 (+2).
09:21 Stoltenberg called the likelihood of Russia using nuclear weapons against Ukraine low. According to him, NATO constantly monitors and monitors the readiness of Russian nuclear forces. The Secretary General noted that the Kremlin, with its nuclear rhetoric, is trying to intimidate the allies and force them to abandon support for Ukraine. "We cannot afford to be intimidated or succumb to blackmail and nuclear rhetoric," Stoltenberg added.
09:13 At night, the enemy attacked a critical infrastructure facility in one of the villages of the Zaporozhye region with S-300 missiles. A fire broke out at the facility, it was quickly extinguished by rescuers. There were no casualties, the head of the OVA Alexander Starukh said.
09:10 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, four civilians were killed - in Kurakhovo, Bakhmut, Kurdyumovka and Seversk. In addition, the bodies of eight more civilians killed by the Russians during the occupation were found in Liman. Another 12 people were injured yesterday, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.
09:08 At night, 13 kamikaze drones of the Shahed-136 type were shot down over the Nikolaev region, the Air Force reported.
09:03 During the day, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine repelled the attacks of the invaders in the areas of the settlements of Ogurtsovo and Dvurechnaya, Kharkiv region; Belogorivka in the Lugansk region; Novokalinovo, Mayorsk, Odradovka, New York, Novomikhailovka, Nevelskoye, Opytnoye and Maryinka of the Donetsk region, the General Staff said in a morning report .
The occupiers are taking measures to covertly move military equipment and personnel. To this end, in the settlements of Tavriysk and Novaya Kakhovka, Kherson region, the enemy is blocking the work of mobile operators and the Internet. Also, the invaders continue to destroy the Ukrainian cultural heritage in the temporarily occupied territories - they rob museums, burn Ukrainian literature and textbooks printed in Ukrainian.
08:55 In the area of the Belbek airfield in Sevastopol, air defense shot down a drone, said "governor" Mikhail Razvozhaev.
08:44 The "authorities" of the occupied Energodar announced that the administration building was allegedly shelled by Ukrainian troops, the bridge at the entrance to the city and the Luch substation were also damaged, due to which Energodar was completely de-energized.
The current mayor of Energodar, Dmitry Orlov, said that at night the Russians shelled first the industrial zone, and then the city itself, as a result of which the city was partially left without electricity and water. There are reports of damage to one of the substations, as well as the building of the executive committee of the city council.
06:12 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) writes that partial mobilization in the Russian Federation entails social splits, pushing the Russian information space towards further marginalization of ethnic minorities.
Meanwhile, Belarus continues to provide its territory and airspace to support a Russian invasion of Ukraine, but it remains very unlikely that it will enter the war on Russia's side, analysts say.
ISW also notes that Russian troops carried out a limited ground attack in the north of the Kharkiv region on October 18, which may indicate that the Russian Federation maintains territorial claims in the Kharkiv region.
According to the Institute, current and former US officials have confirmed that members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are in Russian-occupied Crimea to train Russian troops in the use of Iranian drones they have purchased.
04:26 The Russians fired at an energy infrastructure facility in the Krivoy Rog region, many settlements of the region and the Ingulets microdistrict in Krivoy Rog were left without electricity, said the head of the VA Alexander Vilkul.
00:41 "Deputy head of the administration" of the occupied Kherson Kirill Stremousov said that the Ukrainian military, "pushed by the West", will soon launch an attack on Kherson, and allowed the shelling of the city, as well as the right-bank part of the Kherson region. Stremousov called on local residents to evacuate and promised that Russia would compensate for the possible loss of housing as a result of shelling. At the same time, the collaborator assured that Kherson "is not going to surrender", the occupiers will "stand to the end."
00:23 The United States, France and Britain have requested for Wednesday, October 19, a discussion in the UN Security Council of the transfer of Iranian UAVs to Russia and their use in Ukraine, Russian media reported, citing a source in the Security Council.
