SitRep - 30/10 - "#Vuhledar counterattack"

An overview of the daily events in the war in Ukraine. As it became known yesterday, Russia has launched a counter-offensive around #Vuhledar, south of #Donetsk. We have included this front as a map in the overview.

1/X

We start with the Russian losses as of today. A stunning update.

+950 personnel
+13 tanks
+52 APCs
+16 Artillery systems

Trophies/captured

1x T-62M
1x Ural AMN-590951
1x KAMAZ-63968 "Typhoon-K"
3x soldiers

This morning at 8am a Su-25 was shot down.

Also around 4pm the AFU shot down a Mi-24 helicopter in the #Kharkiv region

Let's check out the general events.

#Germany handed over 14 generators. These are very welcome given the approaching winter.

#Italy handed over 20 to 30 #M109L self-propelled artillery mounts to Ukraine as part of the fifth aid package, La Repubblica reports.

🇮🇹 also increased aid:

➡️2x M270 MLRS
➡️6x PzH 2000

Providing Ukraine with SAMP-T airdefense systems is being discussed together with France.

#Latvia handed over a number of M109A5 self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine.

Ukraine, #Turkey and the #UN agreed on the route for the movement of 14 ships for tomorrow as part of a grain deal, despite Russia's withdrawal from it.

In my opinion the best solution is to keep Russia out of the talks and let Turkey escort grain vessels under the UN flag.

In #Belarus, the transfer of Russian equipment to the city of Brest is recorded, where "#Kadyrovites" also arrived. At the moment, the number is not enough to threaten to impose battles on the defense forces at the border, but we are monitoring the movements.

➡️Both sides seem to hold off further advancement. AFU is slowly pressuring the front by mainly artillery/missile strikes depleting Russian forces.
➡️Residents of (Nova) #Kahkovka, #Aleshkinsky and #Golopristansky municipal districts were urged to leave immediately.

➡️Russian forces brought concrete bunkers to the #Kinburn Spit area.
