🔥 Ukraine’s Defense Forces keep hitting the Russian facilities that sustain the war against Ukraine.
In Oryol, our warriors struck the Proton plant. This strike will complicate production of the missiles Russia fires at Ukrainian cities.
In Tolyatti, the Tolyattikauchuk plant was hit. It produces synthetic rubber, monomers, and high-octane gasoline additives, feeding raw materials into Russia’s missile program.
Strikes on enemy drone depots and bases continue.

This past week alone, Russia has launched around 1,600 guided aerial bombs, 48 missiles of various types, including ballistic missiles, and nearly 2,300 attack drones against Ukraine. Unfortunately, almost every day, these brutal strikes leave people killed and injured. In the evening, Russian strikes on the Dnipro region killed four people. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 22 people were injured, including an 11-year-old girl. In Vinnytsia, a Russian drone struck a high-rise apartment building. Six people were injured. In Kharkiv, the Russians first struck a home improvement hypermarket and then carried out a cynical double-tap strike on the emergency services that arrived at the scene. First responders were injured. There were also strikes overnight on a thermal power plant, substations, coal mines, grain storage facilities, shopping malls, and a postal logistics hub. Damage has been reported in nine regions.
This is how Russia responds to diplomacy and deisolation. And it is very important that support for those who protect lives not diminish alongside the negotiation process. We need to unblock the deliveries of Patriot interceptors already approved by European countries. We need to continue supporting Ukrainian combat aviation to defend against jet-powered “shaheds.” Every such defense package, especially ahead of winter, helps save lives. I thank all partners who provide this kind of support.

Minister of Defence Evgeniy Khmara met with representatives of Ukraine’s defense industry to discuss transparent rules for manufacturers, predictable procurement, and growing production capacity.
Evgeniy Khmara: “Russia adapts quickly. We must be faster. We must stay one step ahead.”
The front comes first. Exports will be considered only once the Defense Forces of Ukraine are supplied, opening new markets and generating resources to reinvest in production.

Every enemy drone that gets through to a position can cost a warrior’s life. That is why training never stops, until every reflex becomes automatic.
Our marines study Russia’s newest drone tactics to stay one step ahead. Nothing hostile should be flying over their brothers-in-arms. There is no time to hesitate: if you see it, you shoot it.

A wounded warrior’s survival often depends on how well the team beside them works together.
Ukraine has hosted Tryzub, its first international military surgery and resuscitation course. Sixteen frontline surgeons and anesthesiologists trained side by side under instructors from @AmCollSurgeons and @iatsic.
Evgeniy Khmara: “When a service member goes into combat, they must know that if they are wounded, people nearby will do everything they can to save their life.”
Thank you, @RazomForUkraine and @expertisefrance, for supporting the course.

🇺🇦🤝🇳🇴 Minister of Defence Evgeniy Khmara spoke with Norway’s Minister of Defence Tore O. Sandvik @toreosa about Ukraine’s most urgent need right now: interceptor missiles.
They discussed ways to increase missile stocks quickly, progress on integrating additional missiles into Ukraine’s NASAMS, and countering jet-powered Shaheds with F-16s and MANPADS.
Thank you, @Forsvarsdep, for your leadership and significant contribution to Ukraine’s defense!

About 90% of aerial targets are neutralized during Russia’s massive attacks. Layered air defense makes that number possible, and interceptor drones are a growing part of it.
The latest batch of Shaheds and Gerberas fell to special forces drone operators guarding their sector of Ukraine’s sky.

- Tolyattikauchuk in Tolyatti, Samara region: explosion and fire reported. Its synthetic rubber goes into solid rocket fuel.
- An aircraft at Yeysk airfield, Krasnodar region. Damage is being assessed.
To be continued. 💥

Ukraine’s Defense Forces have hit 408,000 Russian drones since the start of 2026.
In under 10 months, our warriors took down:
- nearly 248,000 fixed-wing UAVs
- nearly 125,000 multirotors
- more than 35,000 Shahed-type drones
Every hit is filmed and recorded in the DELTA combat system and verified by @BRAVE1ua. Each drone taken out could mean lives saved, at the front and in our cities.

Starlink/Starshield terminals are working on fast-moving platforms again.
The Ministry of Defence’s monitoring systems confirm stable connectivity at speeds above 400 km/h, following restrictions recorded earlier.
Minister of Defence Evgeniy Khmara: “This result is important, above all, for our front line, for service members, for drone operations, logistics, and communications.”

Russian fixed-wing drones are having a rough time over this sector.
The brigade’s interceptor crews hunt them down so fewer enemy eyes watch our guns, and the warriors and equipment below can work in greater safety. Each takedown comes from a tight team that has learned to adapt fast to how this war is fought in the air.

Overnight, Russia fired 21 ballistic missiles at Kyiv in three waves, hitting homes, energy and transport infrastructure, businesses, and a monastery.
Two people were killed and 34 injured across 12 regions, including five children.
Ukraine needs stronger air defense, faster missile deliveries, and the ability to destroy launchers.
Three waves of ballistic missiles have been launched at Kyiv by Russian “humanitarians” since yesterday evening. They used 21 missiles. Unfortunately, numerous sites across the city have been hit and damaged: ordinary residential buildings, energy facilities, infrastructure at one of the railway stations and the metro, shopping malls, and businesses. Even a monastery is among the damaged sites. Our emergency services are working at all the affected locations. Twelve of our regions came under Russian attack overnight. In Kyiv and across the regions, 34 people were injured, including five children. As of now, two people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
Almost immediately after another round of talks, Russia launched a pointed attack. This means there has been no real change in its attitude toward everything that is happening. It is important to keep trying to find the right solutions to end this war. But when Russia responds to negotiations with ballistic missiles, real pressure on Russia is needed to bring about different steps – steps toward ending the killing. Stronger air defenses and the rapid delivery of missiles, the ability to destroy ballistic missile launchers, sanctions over the war – all of this must be in place. I am grateful to everyone who sees the situation for what it is and acknowledges the reality. The aggressor deserves to be treated accordingly. Ukraine deserves support. People's lives deserve protection. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

For the first time, Ukraine can procure weapons and military equipment through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency.
Minister of Defence Evgeniy Khmara has signed the agreement bringing Ukraine into a dedicated partnership with the Agency.
Ukraine’s needs can now be combined with other countries’ orders for better prices, met through existing NSPA contracts or new tenders, and Ukrainian manufacturers can bid alongside foreign firms on equal terms.

The drone war has gone to sea.
A Ukrainian naval drone, the Sargan 3000 unmanned surface vessel, launched a Sting interceptor and destroyed a Russian Shahed.
Our warriors keep adapting to every new threat Russia throws at Ukraine, and every new tool serves one goal: protecting civilians and critical infrastructure.
