I am going to do a very brief update for October 13th. You could call this an update for October 11,12,13, and whatever other days I missed because not much has happened. #ukrdailyupdate
Near Kupyansk, Ukraine moved forward and appear to have liberated Pischane. I have no actual confirmation of this liberation, but Ukrainian troops are east of it and multiple Russian sources claims it is under Ukrainian control so whatever let's roll with it.
Russia has made a lot of blatantly false claims about retaking towns near Kreminna, but their claim today to have retaken Pischane (lol) and Chervonopopivka actually seem to be both reasonable and likely true. They claim to be attacking Terny, it's probably in the *direction of*.
Russians are moving around concrete blocks to build tan traps in Severodonetsk.
Russians are building a defensive line near Hirske. If you remember, Hirske was a town Russia could not break through and only fell when the entire rest of the line collapsed. So I guess Russia really, really does not want to have to fight for it a second time.
Some action in Kadiivka today. Ukrainian civilians spotted Russian artillery firing from this position to the northeast of the city. Ukraine destroyed hangars Russia used to repair broken vehicles on the missile marker.
In the Bakhmut area, Ukraine controls Ivanhrad and Opytne. I wrote about it here. People are saying Ukraine counter attacked in Opytne, this is not true. Russia never took or contested Opytne. Ukraine counter attacked Ivanhrad.
Otherwise you have your standard attacks in the Bakhmut area without notable change.
In the Donetsk area there is ongoing fighting in all the same areas as usual.
Ukraine is attacking south from both Orikhiv and Hulyaipole. Don't get excited and think this is some major offensive, it isn't.
Ukraine inflicted significant damage on Russian positions in Burchak, Tokmak, Kopani, Kinski Rozdory, and Berdyansk areas. (markers aren't exact). The Berdyansk hit reportedly destroyed four S-300 systems.
Ukraine had significant artillery strikes on the Antonovskyi Bridge, Nova Kakhovka, Kozatske, and Beryslav areas.
Russia had significant artillery strikes in the Pravdyne, Soldatske, Blahodatne, and more general M14 highway areas.
Ukraine attacked Ishchenka and Bruskynske, and Russia sent recon to Sukhyi Stavok.

A report that a little girl born in 2016 is critically wounded as a result of this attack. Amputations. 😟
Her mother was also wounded, along with an unrelated woman.

I think everyone is tired of the “did they liberate Terny and Torske” messages. No. The Russian propagandists lied. Just like they always do. Just like they are paid to do.
Do you really think they would spend a week *literally crying* about losing these towns and then not post vidoes if they were recaptured?
Furthermore, don’t you think Wargonzo, a guy who is emotionally (and romantically) involved with the town of Lyman (it is really creepy, I cannot stress that enough) would be the first to jump at announcing such a thing? Instead, he talked about everywhere else in Ukraine.

I am going to post an essay (is this the right word?) written by yuri Gudymenko. This will take several tweets, but I am posting in the original language.
Я не про мову, звичайно, хоча мову вони не розуміють теж – звідси всі легенди про «польскіх найомніков» після радіоперехоплень українською. Я про інше.
Вони абсолютно, цілком і повністю не розуміють нашу психологію.
Наприклад, зараз вони впевнені, що після вчорашніх ударів ми хочемо здатись, хоча насправді після вчорашніх ударів ми тільки більше хочемо перемоги – і рекордно швидкі збори донатів на армію це підтверджують.
