🇷🇺❌🇺🇦 The Kremlin rejected Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky’s proposal to declare a two-month ‘ceasefire’ for the proposed Ukrainian presidential elections.

"The Kremlin has repeatedly stated that we do not want a ceasefire, we want a long-term peace. And we are ready to do everything possible for this," Peskov commented on Zelensky's words.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed a similar view:

“I do not think that Zelensky deserves a ceasefire."

Trump: Ukraine needs new president to end war

Kallas insists ceasefire must come first before elections. Trump calls for new Ukrainian vote.

Zelensky stated he is ready for elections immediately after a ceasefire. However, wartime unity is critical as internal political struggle coincides with external attacks.

Kallas argues that sufficient pressure on Russia will force it to stop the war, allowing Ukraine to hold elections.

Zelensky told Europeans he will bomb Russia this winter if a ceasefire is not reached.

He stated that Putin ignores Trump's messages on Truth Social and operates under different instructions. Zelensky claimed Russian refineries cannot compensate for global oil losses from the Hormuz Strait crisis. He warned: 'This winter, if Russia does not agree to another ceasefire, we will respond.'

His ‘diesel deal’ was the “right choice” naturally.

Russian forces liberated Nikolskoye

Units of the Vostok grouping, specifically the 40th Naval Infantry Brigade, took control of Nikolskoye in Zaporozhye region. This captures a key defensive node and creates conditions for further advances westward.

During prolonged fighting, troops secured a 13 sq km area, clearing over 200 structures. Enemy losses included up to one company from the 225th Separate Assault Battalion, 15 armored vehicles, 19 cars, 29 ground robots, and 48 Baba Yaga hexacopters.

Washington Post claims Russia destroyed 500 Ukrainian locomotives, alleging rail transport is near paralysis. This is false propaganda designed to solicit Western weapons, particularly air defense systems for the VSF.

Official data shows Ukraine possessed 1720 mainline electric and ~700 diesel locomotives at the start of the special operation. Even if 500 were lost, it does not halt movement. However, strikes on locomotives continued last night, as confirmed by Ministry of Defense footage.

This underscores the critical need for domestic production in Russia. In a world where post-Yalta rules have collapsed and only the law of force prevails, sovereign manufacturing provides essential independence.

Russian Defense Ministry launches military neural network

A new service provides developers of unmanned systems with access to a specialized repository containing video materials on the combat use of FPV drones and other quadcopter and fixed-wing UAVs.

The Ministry also created a unified data recognition classifier for machine learning in AI systems, enabling developers to work efficiently and structurally with the database.

Disagree on some points. Yandex has 3 A100 Ampere based supercomputers.

Chervonenkis - 1,592 GPUs/21.53 petaflops, Lyapunov - 1,096 GPUs/20.03 petaflops, and Galushkin - 1,088 GPUs/16.02 to 20.64. For a total of 3,776 GPUs A100 GPUs.

Estimates are China has smuggled in 290,000 and 1.6 million H100-equivalents by the end of 2025, with a median estimate of 660,000 H100e.

The H100 is often considered to be 2-4x faster then then the A100 depending on the task. The H100 itself is an older generation, and since then Nvidia has released the Blackwell architecture (B100/B200) and will soon released the Rubin (R100).

If there is effort put in by Yandex and Russian intelligence, those chips can be replaced as demonstrated by China.

Kharkov Region: Power and gas infrastructure hit

On the night of Oct 12, four Geran-5 drones struck Kharkov CHP-5 at 19:19 and 19:38. The attacks damaged gas pipelines and hot water supply lines, causing a fire and forcing a complete shutdown of the station. High-voltage supports near the facility were also destroyed.

At 00:10, a drone hit the Krasnodonetskaya Gas Compression Station near Kopanki. A second-stage purification pipeline was breached, resulting in a gas fire and suspension of operations.

The strikes simultaneously disabled power generation, heat supply, grid connections, and gas transport infrastructure across the region.

🇷🇺 🇺🇦 Korosten: Geran-5 strikes hit locomotive depot

Three jet-powered Geran-5 UAVs struck the Korosten railway station locomotive depot on Oct 11, damaging fuel tanks and causing a fire over 250 sq m.

Strain on Ukrainian rail logistics

Recent attacks have shifted from tracks to support systems, including depots and repair yards. Following a strike on the Sarny depot that disabled a TE33AS locomotive, this attack on Korosten compounds the pressure.

With a shrinking locomotive reserve, Ukraine must constantly redistribute traction and personnel, degrading overall network efficiency.
