00:17 | Air Situation Over Russia It looks like most UAV activity is gradually shifting toward northern Russia tonight. The highest concentration of Ukrainian UAVs is currently being reported in the Smolensk and Kaluga regions, with additional groups spotted in the Bryansk and Tver regions. According to Russian monitoring sources, further UAV movement toward the Leningrad region cannot be ruled out. However, their final destination cannot be confirmed based on the map alone. Russian air defense activity has already been reported near Smolensk. Overall, it's been a relatively quiet night. We'll see whether the drones continue moving further north. UAV sightings are based on Russian monitoring sources. All information is approximate and has not been independently verified.

22:50 | Air situation over the swamps The little drones continue moving deeper into Russia. The greatest activity is currently being observed in the Bryansk region, where a huge number of separate UAV groups are being detected. There have also been many detections in Crimea, where, preliminarily, the "Saki" airfield is under attack. Individual groups are present in the Tula and Oryol regions. Air defense activity is being recorded in the Tula and Lipetsk regions. Kaluga Airport remains under restrictions. Overall, the action continues. Let’s see how the situation develops further. The data on UAV detections was taken from Russian monitoring resources. The information is approximate.

There are at least 11 separate fires at the Novokuybyshevsk Oil Refinery. Our pleas have been heard, and now they’ve started to take out the entire refinery in a single strike, rather than just one unit.

Russian ballistic missiles struck the grounds of a university in Kyiv and the area around it – effectively the campus, Kyoto Park, the area near a metro station, and residential buildings. The exact number of casualties is not yet known. But tragically, there are victims. There are people injured. Rescue operations are underway. There is extensive damage, and there are also reports that people may be trapped under the rubble. All emergency services are at the scene and doing their work – saving lives. The missiles hit very crowded areas, and there is not a single military facility nearby. This was a strike directly on the city, on its infrastructure. Unfortunately, there may be more strikes coming. The attack with “shaheds” is also continuing – against Kyiv and our other cities and communities. And it is precisely under such circumstances, when the threat is constant, when strikes can come at any moment and target cities and villages directly, that artificial delays in providing air defense to Ukraine help terror. It is important that political agreements be implemented promptly at the team level. It is important that our partners understand that Ukraine needs the proper tools to destroy Russian ballistic missile launchers. This would be the most effective way to save lives. It is important that the world sees that Russia is showing nothing but a desire to kill and continue waging war. Ukraine must not be left to face this alone, and it is solely Russia’s fault that the war is still going on and people are still dying. Please take care of yourselves. All partners should stand with Ukraine – with the protection of lives.

Several storms have destroyed the factory, which for years had been operating for the benefit of terrorists. It only took 7-8 missiles. Now, we'll show you.👀

You claim U.S. aid to Ukraine is being laundered back into American political campaigns. Which campaign? Which bank? Which transaction? Money laundering leaves a money trail. A billionaire's tweet isn't one.

Here's a factory that has been destroyed after being hit. Experts, what are your thoughts on the chances of survival for the employees after such an event?

On the night of October 23, a data center operated by Russia’s Federal Tax Service was attacked in Gorodets, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. The facility is one of the Federal Tax Service’s two key data centers operating in a geographically distributed configuration. It stores and processes information from state registries, including tax databases. A strike on this facility could potentially affect the operation of Russia’s government information systems. The extent of the damage and the consequences of the attack have yet to be confirmed.

I discussed with President of the Storting @MasudGh and the leaders of all Norwegian political parties the decisions that can support Ukraine now, as Russia strikes our country virtually every hour. In particular, we discussed financial assistance and the shortfall in our defense budget. Alongside support from the European Union, assistance from non-EU countries that support us bilaterally is also important, and Norway is ready to help. We also discussed the Ukrainian children abducted by Russia and our work to bring them home. Together, we can certainly do more. Thank you! Norway is among the leaders in assistance to Ukraine. We are very grateful to the parliamentarians, the government and all the people of Norway for such unity around Ukraine and for supporting our people at every level.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Putin wants to destroy us. He doesn't respect us, our sovereignty and territorial integrity. He really thinks that we are not a country, not a nation. Do you really believe that just the eastern part of our country will be enough for him? Then why did he go for Kyiv when the full-scale invasion began? Is that Donbas? No, it’s the capital. Without the capital, there is no state. And what will happen afterwards? On what borders will he stay? If now he's testing all these drones against European, even NATO countries? They are not loud for now. They don't want to escalate because they have one Russian drone, two drones, ten. But you will be very loud when there will be ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and thousands of drones. We had one thousand drones yesterday. But the American side said that it's difficult to speak with Zelenskyy. It's less difficult to manage with Putin. Of course. From a conversation with media representatives in Brussels. (3/3)
