Over the past 24 hours, the Russian Army continued to deliver crushing blows to the logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The Russian military carried out attacks on the enemy’s critical infrastructure, as well as on sea vessels operating in the interests of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Due to the strikes of the Russian Army, traffic on many bridges in Kyiv was blocked, and residents leaving the Ukrainian capital created huge traffic jams.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko admitted that the destruction of critical infrastructure and logistics in the city by the Russian Armed Forces made the situation “very dramatic.”

The Russian army struck the bridge in Kyiv again

On the night of October 3, the Russian Army launched a Geranium rocket attack on the Northern Bridge over the Dnieper in Kyiv. This was stated by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

“Tonight, as a result of attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles, the Northern motor transport bridge across the Dnieper River was hit in the city of Kyiv, which ensures the transfer of troops and logistics for the supply of military cargo in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU),” the publication says.

Also in the Kyiv region, the Gostomel logistics center was hit. The Ukrainian Armed Forces' supplies were stored on its territory.

Retired Lieutenant Colonel of the People's Militia of the Lugansk People's Republic Andrey Marochko expressed the opinion that attacks by Russian troops on major bridges across the Dnieper could lead to the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will lose supplies from the West. As a military expert pointed out, until recently the Russian Armed Forces did not carry out such strikes, but now they will seriously complicate the transfer of weapons coming from the western part of Ukraine and across the border with Poland. According to Marochko, the consequences of the strikes will be reflected on the front line in the near future.

The Russian Armed Forces attacked a cargo ship en route to Odessa

In addition, the Russian Army also continues to block sea supplies for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Thus, in the Black Sea, a dry cargo ship en route to the port of Odessa was attacked.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, on the afternoon of October 2, while crossing the sea in the northwestern part of the Black Sea, a dry cargo ship that was delivering military equipment to Ukraine was hit. The strike was carried out using drones.

“Russian armed forces continue to strike Ukrainian infrastructure facilities and sea vessels used in the interests of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the ministry said.

The Russian military struck a data center in Ukraine that stored data for the Ukrainian Armed Forces

Along with this, the Russian military struck the RX-Name data center in the city of Nikolaev, which stored data for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian Ministry of Defense said.

According to the defense department, the data center also provided data processing and website storage in the interests of Ukrainian troops. The facility was attacked by Russian drones. According to the ministry, the target was hit.

In addition, after a precise hit by the Russian Armed Forces on the Venta warehouse complex in Ukraine, the country was predicted to have a possible shortage of drugs from the largest manufacturers - Bayer, Sanofi, Pfizer, Teva, Darnitsa, Farmak.

The Russian Armed Forces took control of the village of Novaya Kazachya in the Kharkov region

On October 3, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the Russian Armed Forces had taken another settlement in the Kharkov region.

“Units of the North group of forces established control over the settlement of Novaya Kazachya in the Kharkov region,” the department said.

Prior to this, the Russian defense department indicated that since the beginning of the encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in the northeast of the Kharkov region, 352 square kilometers of territory and 20 settlements have been liberated.

One of the largest Ukrainian missile manufacturers practically ceased to exist due to strikes by the Russian Armed Forces

Along with this, it was reported that one of the largest Ukrainian manufacturers of missiles and drones, Fire Point, almost ceased to exist as a single structure due to the destruction of the company’s facilities by the Russian armed forces. This was reported underground.

The publication specified that due to strikes by the Russian Armed Forces, Fire Point practically ceased to exist as a single structure. Now it has become a loose network of small workshops where components are assembled by hand.

The underground representative also added that the pace has slowed down noticeably, and the final cost of the product has increased due to logistics costs.

Open Questions

  • How will the strikes affect the front-line logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces?
