War in Ukraine, Analysis of Events and Battles at the end of Oct 13, 2022

The Russian Armed Forces continued shelling infrastructure and military facilities on the territory of Ukraine: the logistics terminal in Nalivaykovka in the Kyiv region, where a warehouse of weapons and equipment supplied under Lend-Lease was allegedly located, came under attack.

Several explosions took place in Zolochiv in the Lviv region and other regions of western Ukraine.

These acts will continue to create further panic in Ukrainian population as electric depended section of Ukraine economy and management come under attack. As the electric infrastructure continued to be targeted and the weather changing toward more colder temperature combined lack of food would create a unfavorable situation for the entire country as the war in ukraine continues to be resource heavy.

Recently Zelensky requested additional anti missile systems from Nato to be delivered to Ukraine and requested additional funds to keep the Ukraine economy afloat. If the Western Partner do not provide these resources Ukraine would face its darkest hour, creating havoc amounting to military revolt. Russian Armed Forces show they are no longer sending mass bombing strike on Ukraine, and we will see if key infrastructure will be targeted.

Zaporozhye direction:

In the Zaporozhye region, the enemy is preparing for a large-scale counteroffensive along the entire front line. The parties are engaged in artillery duels on the line of contact: the Russian Armed Forces carried out several strikes on the facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Zaporozhye. If the Ukraine Armed Forces do not hold the defensive line around Zaporozhey territory and any of the attempts to get closer to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant are not successeful, ukraine would lose another key resource for electricity. Currently the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant provided around 20% of all electricity in the Ukrainian territories and has been disconnected from the general system by the Russian Armed Forces. Additionally this area is the gateway to Maritopol, which allowes Russian Armed Forced to transfer key reserves along the land bridge from Russia to Crimea.

Shelling of the territories of the Russian Federation:

In the afternoon, the Armed Forces of Ukraine shelled Belgorod again. Air defense systems intercepted the targets, but fragments of one of the missiles fell on the roof of a multi-storey building.

At the same time, the enemy hit the ammunition depot in the village of Oktyabrsky. Another blow fell on the Shebekino border checkpoint.

Belgorod is a very important target for the Ukraine Armed Forces, but no attempts to take this city will be done until Ukrainian Armed Forces retake their lost territory. Belgorod is an important hub for soldiers and ammo of the Armed Forces, additionally the City is located only 25 miles from ukrainian border and 142 miles to Poltava a key Hub for Ukraine Armed Forces.
