A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While GlobalSecurity.org takes utmost care to accurately report this news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.
On 24 February 2022, Ukraine was suddenly and deliberately attacked by land, naval and air forces of Russia, igniting the largest European war since the Great Patriotic War. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" (SVO - spetsialnaya voennaya operatsiya) in Ukraine in response to the appeal of the leaders of the "Donbass republics" for help. That attack is a blatant violation of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Putin stressed that Moscow's goal is the demilitarization and denazification of the country. The military buildup in preceeding months makes it obvious that the unprovoked and dastardly Russian attack was deliberately planned long in advance. During the intervening time, the Russian government had deliberately sought to deceive the world by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
"To initiate a war of aggression... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." [Judgment of the International Military Tribunal]
The UK Ministry of Defence reported that Russia has likely sustained approximately 1,140,000 casualties (killed and wounded) since launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, including approximately 353,000 casualties in the conflict so far in 2025.
The average daily Russian casualty rate during October 2025 was 1,008 according to Ukrainian General Staff reporting, an increase from 950 in September 2025, and the second consecutive monthly increase. Russia's average daily casualty rates for the months August 2025 through to October 2025 are the three lowest monthly average rates reported since April 2024.
Russian forces are continuing intensive efforts to envelop Pokrovsk, the key Ukrainian logistics hub which supports operations in the Donbas, sustaining heavy casualties. Recently, Russian forces have advanced from the southern outskirts towards the centre of the city. Additionally, pressure continues to be applied to Rodynske, a town supporting the defence of Pokrovsk to its north, and in Myrnohrad, to its east. Ukrainian forces have recently conducted limited counterattacks in the vicinity of Dobropillia, 25km north of Pokrovsk.
Pokrovsk likely remains Russia's priority axis with the city continuing to sustain the largest proportion of daily Russian assaults relative to the rest of the frontline.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that since the beginning of this day, there have been 144 combat clashes.
Today, the Russian invaders launched one rocket and 35 aviation strikes, used six missiles, dropped 57 controlled air bombs. In addition, the Russians involved 3,029 kamikaze drones and carried out 3,668 shelling positions of Ukrainian troops and settlements.
