Rumours of Ukrainian Evacuation from Artemovsk
According to Artemovsk local channels, emergency services and police have initiated an evacuation there. This is interpreted by a number of channels (started by @Legitimniy, with the Russian channels amplifying this further) as a preparation to "surrender Artemovsk".
Generally, in addition to the advance near Artemovsk, which is now in the spotlight, far more dramatic events are taking place to the south. The southern group of the Russian Army, apart from the blockade of Artemovsk from the south (after Odradovka, Zaitsevo, Veselya Dolina, and the Asphalt Plant, they appear to have entered Opytnoye, Ivangrad, and the Hydro Dam area), continues to advance westwards in the Maiorsk - Ozaryanovka - Kurdymovka - Zelenopolye - Klescheevka area. Ukrainian press actually spoke today about the Russian Army advancing close to Ozaryanovka, though this fact has yet to be confirmed by the Russian press.
Further advance to the west not only puts the entire Artemovsk garrison at risk of encirclement (which is still a long way off), but also begins to threaten the encirclement of Dzerzhinsk from the north. This, in turn, will seriously worsen the strategic position of the AFU in Donbass.
Accordingly, the AFU may or may not cling to Artemovsk. But any reserves, if they are sent here, will go first between Artemovsk and Gorlovka. Because there, after a long time and a lot of spent resources, our troops have gone only halfway through enemy fire.

Analysis of the Current Operational Importance of Artemovsk
Simply speaking, we needed to take Artemovsk as much as a caveman needs to keep the fire alive, but only for as long as we had Izyum. Izyum provided a blockade of Slavyansk from the north-west and west (we did not take Barvenkovo, road traffic was going there, though the railway did not work—it does now).
Now, all that said, Artemovsk is still a strategic point. Taking control of Artemovsk will give us a lot of terrain won back in our favour, blockading the Slavyansk garrison once again (the Ukrainian army in Slavyansk has been actively engaged in fighting in the Liman area because of operational freedom as a result of the loss of Izyum), this time from the east.
But now the liberation of Artemovsk does not mark the final push for Slavyansk. Now the liberation of Artemivsk will only mark new battles in the area of Chasov Yar, along the route to Slavyansk, and in the area of Soledar.
But to the south, between Artemovsk and Gorlovka, we will sooner or later blockade Dzerzhinsk (Toretsk) from the north and cut the Dzerzhinsk-Konstantinovka highway.
The consequences of this step depend on the measures taken by the Ukrainian command and the resources available to us. In the best-case scenario, the Ukrainian grouping in Avdeevka will suffer an operational crisis.
This, however, is not a matter of one day or even one week. Nonetheless, the trend is clear.

#YURI Russians counterattack near Liman, pushing back the enemy away from Kremennaya to Terny-Torskoye line. If they manage to hold these strategic settlements, the third battle for Liman, with roles reversed, may happen. Wagner men enter south-eastern parts of Bakhmut. Attacks near Donetsk towards Pervomayskoye continue to reach the third line of defence of Avdeyevka and threaten its supply routes. No active actions of the enemy in Zaporozhye or Kherson, but a large-scale enemy offensive is possible in the comming days.
Missile stike on Ukraines power grid continue with the same intensity as yesterday. The countdown to a complete energetic collapse is estimated by the Ukrainian side as 7-10 days (if the strikes continue). Yuri considers that it may happen in much faster, subject to the same condition.

The Virtues of Digesting Strategic SMO Updates With Grains of Salt
Russian troops are reported to have rushed to take up positions at the Zherebets River line west of Kremennaya. Preliminary information suggests that Novosadovoye, Terny and Torskoye have been liberated, and fighting continues near Yampolovka and Kreminna Forest.
To understand the processes in the Svatovo-Kremennaya direction, let's recall the prehistory of the current fighting - namely the Kharkov region tragedy of September 6-10. Let's run through my notes:
On September 7, everyone writes about the prospect of the Izyum cauldron because of the cutting off of the road to Izyum from the north. However, they are wrong: "In the most catastrophic scenario Izyum grouping will not be surrounded, they have an opportunity to manoeuvre to the left bank of Oskol (that's where Sviatogorsk is located)." The regrouping is still a few days away, but it happened exactly as I said.
Also on September 7, a member of the OPSB gives information that all is not well on the left bank of Oskol. In particular, the 35th Army had taken with them the pontoon across the Seversky Donets during the regrouping and the adjoining forces didn't have theirs. Bad suspicions began to creep in.
On September 8, the situation worsens. Rybar gives information about the concentration of the AFU in the Izyum direction. "It also appears that an attack on the Krasny Liman district of the DPR is being prepared. The enemy has moved DRGs [Diversionary-Reconnaissance Groups] south of Krasny Liman and Yampol, as well as pontoon-engineering units to Raigorodok."
September 9: "A deeper breakthrough on the left bank of the Oskol, is impossible without a supporting strike from Slavyansk and Seversk to Izyum and Krasny Liman respectively." While Bezsonov will be claiming that the strike force that attempted to break into Liman from Seversk was defeated on September 7, the Khokhols will be finalising preparations to traverse the Seversky Donets river near Krasny Liman and Sviatogorsk. This will take place on the 10th.
The night of September 10: "A new problem has emerged in the form of an attempt to force the Seversky Donets in the direction of the DPR's Krasnolimansky district. As the evening haggle said, they can do this only tonight." That is exactly what will happen.
At that time, all sorts of military co-rat-spondents will be feeding you information about the reserves arriving and entering the battle.
The evening of 10 September: "The mobilised units holding Red Liman as of 16.30 this afternoon are literal heroes." This is due in part to the fact that our media had managed to surrender Krasny Liman. The media was wrong.
So, let us summarize: starting from September 7, i.e. the second day of the Ukrainian offensive, the strategic importance of Oskol for the Izyum grouping was obvious. And, consequently, the threat to the Krasny Liman district.
This was written about repeatedly until the moment when the 16th BARS battalion engaged in unequal combat with the superior enemy forces, giving time for our army to prepare the lines for defence.
The end of the first part, in the second we will see when Svatovo was first mentioned and how the fighting in the Krasnolimansk district was treated.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 11 Oct 2022⚡️
The Russian Armed Forces continued to strike Ukrainian infrastructure facilities. Russian Forces attacked the #Ladyzhynska thermal power plant in the #Vinnitsa Region, power substations in #Lvov Region and a railway junction in #Shepetovka. There were also fires near of #Kiev at TPP-6 and Kiev HPP.
The strikes on critical infrastructure have already taken their toll. Ukrainian authorities have announced a halt to electricity exports to the European Union, and regions across the country have experienced emergency power outages.
#RussianFederation Shelling:
▪️ Ukrainian militants hit a power substation in #Shebekino in #Belgorod region, leaving several thousand citizens in the region without power.
▪️ The AFU struck an agricultural enterprise in the village of Nizhny Olshanets in #Belgorod region, leaving no civilians injured or killed.
#Starobelsk Direction:
▪️ In the #Kupyansk area, the AFU again attempted an offensive against Russian Forces' positions at the #Olshany - #Pershotravnevoye line, but were repulsed.
#Soledar Direction:
▪️ Wagner PMC fighters were able to reach the southeastern outskirts of #Bakhmut (#Artemovsk) and gain control of #Ivangrad under heavy fighting. The AFU, in turn, retreated to the #Kleshcheevka area.
▪️ The Wagnerians eliminated an enemy stronghold near #Nikolaevka, which prevented them from taking control of a section of the #Nikolaevka II - #Otradovka road. They also stormed AFU positions northwest of #Zaitsevo and near #Spornoye.
#Lugansk Region:
▪️ The enemy struck the town of #Stakhanov in the Lugansk Republic and damaged civilian infrastructure.
#Donetsk Direction:

Fake news:
The Russian military killed civilians in Kupyansk and dumped their bodies in mass graves. The horrifying video was posted by Maksim Zhorin, a member of the Azov Nazi Batallion, and was shared by numerous Ukrainian Telegram channels.
The fact:
In Kupiansk, they are trying to use the same methods that were once used in Bucha. European viewers are shown the bodies of murdered civilians being dumped into a pit like sacks. At the same time, they do not show who exactly killed or buried these people.
Meanwhile, it is very likely that it was the Ukrainian military who killed them. Several factors indicate this.
The EXIF data of the video posted by Zhorin indicates that it was shot on October 9 at around 1pm.
Kupiansk has been under the control of the AFU for a little less than a month - Ukrainian forces entered the town in the tenth of September and finally seized it around the 20th. Judging by the numerous photos and videos taken by Ukrainian propagandists, there were no fallen leaves on the grass yet. On the video of the mass grave, however, there are a lot of such leaves: this is quite typical for the beginning of October.
There is no information about these murdered people in the local chats in Kupiansk. At the same time, there is a telegram channel "Kup'yansk Novyny Zradniki ta Kollaboranty" which collects data on residents of the seized settlements who have pro-Russian views. These people are threatened with death - regardless of their gender, age or degree of sympathy for Russia.
Obviously, the photo shows a mass grave into which the bodies of those who collaborated with the Russian military are dumped. The Ukrainian journalist Anatoliy Shariy, for example, is of the same opinion.

Fake news:
Russian troops shelled civilian objects - one of the strikes hit Shevchenko Park in Kyiv near a playground. This was reported by Ukrainian sources.
The fact:
The large-scale high-precision missile strike was carried out exclusively against military targets and energy facilities. The strike on the park was the result of the malfunctioning of the Ukrainian air defense system, which, in fact, damaged civilian objects in Kyiv. A Ukrainian S-300 air defense/antimissile rocket landed near the playground.
We have analyzed in detail what kind of damage the air defense system has brought to Ukrainian cities. The poor performance of the systems has already been criticized by journalists, who suspected Valery Zaluzhny, the head of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, of exaggerating the effectiveness of Ukrainian air defense systems.

14.2 Kharkov CHPP-5;
14.3 Zmievskaya TPP.
🔻 The facilities affected on 11 October:
1. Ladyzhinskaya TPP;
2. 330 kV Lvov-Yuzhnaya substation;
3. Substation 154kV Lviv -2;
4. 330kV Lvov Westerly substation (presumably, needs clarification);
5. Substation Zapadno-Ukrainskaya 750/330kV (needs clarification);
6. Substation Prydniprovskaya 750 kV;
7. Kiev TPP-6 area (presumably a miss);
8. Kiev HPP Vyshgorod;
9. PS "VDGMK" 330/150/35/6 kV Volnogorsk;
10. Pavlogradskaya 330/150/35/6kV substation (needs clarification);
11. Substation Pravoberezhnaya 330kV Zaporozhye (requires clarification).
🔻 Based on the available information, we believe that the most effective strikes were in Lvov, Kharkov, Khmelnytsky and Sumy regions.
▪️ Despite this, power supply has now been restored almost everywhere, but the transmission capacity of the power system has been reduced as a result of the strikes.
▪️ Transformers and autotransformers at 330/110 and 330/150 kV are most likely to have been hit. Substations and thermal power plants managed to reduce both generation and transmission capacity of the power system.
▪️ An indirect indication of the effectiveness of the strikes can be found in the fact that Ukraine has refused to export electricity to the EU and Moldova.
▪️ Emergency schemes are used to bypass damaged parts of the electrical system. The effect of their use creates the illusion of solving problems, but in fact it only postpones them.
🔻 However, it is clear that the damage to the Ukrainian energy system is not enough to fragment it into separate power districts. The stability of the energy system is maintained through forced rolling blackouts of consumers - especially during morning and evening peak hours.

🇺🇦🇬🇧⚡️Ukrainian Refugees Are No More Welcome In the UK - the DT
Daily Telegraph new big article concerns the issue of Ukrainian refugees in Britain
According to them, only over the past month the number of Ukrainians, whom the compassionate British put on the street increased by 22%.
And in total, up to 50 thousand refugees from Ukraine may turn out to be homeless in the near future.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🛢 Putin's Key Statements at Russian Energy Week⚡️
▪️ The world economy, the fuel and energy complex are in an acute crisis due to price volatility and market imbalances.
▪️ Individual energy market players are subverting and destroying competitors' infrastructure
▪️ The sabotage of the Nord Streams is an act of international terrorism
▪️ Behind the attacks on the Nord Streams are those who have already resorted to such sabotage and been caught in the act.
▪️ All sabotage of Russian energy facilities has been proven, those who want to break Europe's ties with Russia and the beneficiaries are behind it.
▪️ Europe considers it possible to reproach Russia for the reliability of its energy supplies, even though Moscow supplies the entire volume of supplies under contracts.
▪️ Repairing the strings of Nord Stream is possible but would only make sense in the event of continued operation and security.
▪️ The spot pricing mechanism will cause a €300 billion loss for Europe.
▪️ Russia is ready for energy supplies to Europe, including this autumn and winter.
▪️ The rise in energy prices is not due to the SMO, the West's own policies are to blame.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Kherson: Situation in #Andreevka and #Berislav Sections at 14:00 on 12 Oct 2022⚡️
#Andreevka Section:
▪️ Units of the AFU's 35th Separate Marines Brigade unsuccessfully attempted to storm the #Kostromka - #Ishchenka line. Russian Forces repulsed the attack and destroyed ten vehicles, including two tanks and three armoured fighting vehicles.
▪️ At the same time, yesterday, in the 35th AFU Brigade, several dozen men of the 137th Battalion refused to advance on #Bruskinskoye. And on 5 October, 66 servicemen of the 88th Battalion left #Belogorka on their own. The main reason for refusing orders was to send the men to slaughter.
▪️ Ukrainian Forces are busy crossing the #Ingulets river to supply the Ukrainian grouping. Another pontoon has been erected north of Davydov Brod, reducing work elsewhere.
▪️ Ammunition was delivered to the vicinity of Belaya Krinitsa and an AN/TPQ-50 counterbattery radar was deployed near #Andreevka.
▪️ Due to losses among the units of the 46th Brigade, the personnel of the 74th Separate Reconnaissance Battalion of the AFU was transferred to Davydov Brod.
#Berislav Area:
▪️ The AFU is preparing to resume the offensive. Ukrainian artillery and aviation are shelling the Russian Forces' defence line.
▪️ Another meeting of the command staff of the 17th Tank Brigade was held in #Ukrainka. And the leadership of the 60th Infantry Brigade moved the command post to #Novonikolaevka.
▪️ North of #Borozensky is an ATGM crew of the AFU´s 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade deployed. Armored vehicles moved from #Ukrainka towards #Chervonoye. A supply depot has been established in #Belyaevka.
▪️ Two battalions of mobilised citizens are being trained at the training grounds in Krivoy Rog and #Apostolovo. They are to move out to the area of combat operations at the end of the week.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in #Zaporozhye Direction at 15:00 on 12 Oct 2022⚡️
The Ukrainian command is finalising preparations for a counter-offensive towards #Zaporozhye. Ukrainian forces must regain control of the nuclear power plant before the cold weather sets in and cut off the Russian grouping's supply route in the south by land.
There is a high probability of sabotage and attack groups of marines being thrown into the #Energodar area from both #Nikopol and Zolotaya Balka. The #Kakhovka reservoir is being drained, which could cause damage to the coastal barriers.
▪️ A platoon of the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the AFU Reserve Corps conducted a reconnaissance battle near #Novodarovka with artillery support. Russian Forces repulsed the attack, killing seven men and one armoured fighting vehicle.
▪️ Formations of the 65th Brigade, together with the 102nd Territorial Defence Brigade, entrenched themselves in the #Dorozhnyanka area. The formations' sabotage groups intend to carry out an attack on Russian positions in the direction of #Marfopol.
▪️ Special Forces of the AFU Marines continue to train for a tactical landing on an unequipped coastline. Three Ukrainian boats passed through the lock of the Dnipro hydropower plant this morning towards the ship repair plant after practising their tasks in #Volnoandreevka.
▪️ The plant itself has long been out of operation and there are no workers. The enterprise was turned into the headquarters of Ukrainian units and foreign mercenaries several months ago.
▪️ Units of the 9th Special Task Regiment of the Ukrainian National Guard maintain artillery pieces in preparation for an assault on Russian borders.
▪️ Informers of the so-called "National Resistance Forces" are active in the rear of the Russian army in the #Zaporozhye region, transmitting data on the location of checkpoints and fire positions via satellite terminals.
