MOSCOW, October 4 - RIA Novosti. Units of the Russian group of troops "North" are fighting for the liberation of the settlements of Varvarovka, Nikolaevka, Lobanovka and Reznikovo in the encircled part of the Kharkov region, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

In addition, the North group of troops is compressing the encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the northeast of the Kharkov region and expanding the external zone of control.

Air defense forces shot down 1,222 drones and three HIMARS missiles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the day.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost more than 1,395 servicemen per day.

Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated the command, personnel and veterans of the Space Forces on the holiday, noting that today the personnel and civilian personnel of the troops are solving important tasks to protect the security of Russia; the corresponding telegram was published on the Kremlin website.

Successes in the NWO zone

Corporal of the Russian Armed Forces Yuri Zelyaev, during one of the battles during a special operation, broke into an enemy position and destroyed several militants, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

The Novaya Poshta logistics center in Chernomorsk and a data center in Odessa were hit by Geranium drones, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

On Sunday night, Russian armed forces hit a cargo ship delivering military equipment for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, east of Odessa, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

The Russian Armed Forces continue to carry out attacks with unmanned aerial vehicles on Ukrainian infrastructure facilities and sea vessels used in the interests of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

On Sunday afternoon, the Russian Armed Forces struck the Northern Motor Transport Bridge across the Dnieper in Kyiv, which ensures the transfer of troops and logistics of military cargo for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

During strikes on Sunday afternoon, the Russian Armed Forces hit two dry cargo ships at a sea crossing that were transporting military equipment to the port of Odessa, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

Statements by the Russian Ministry of Defense

The head of the Kyiv regime, Vladimir Zelensky, tried to disrupt the State Duma elections with terrorist attacks on civilian targets, the Russian Ministry of Defense said.

Strikes against military and military-industrial facilities of Ukraine, as well as related infrastructure, will be intensified after Zelensky’s statement.

The Russian Ministry of Defense also stated that they had heard Zelensky’s statement about Kyiv’s plans to intensify attacks on Russian refineries in response to strikes by the Russian Armed Forces against the Ukrainian military-industrial complex.

The population of Ukraine should only blame Zelensky for the intensification of strikes by the Russian Armed Forces, who bears full responsibility for this.

Kyiv is doing badly

Poland must receive from Ukraine a detailed report on the fate of billions of euros and military equipment transferred to Kyiv, former Prime Minister of the Republic Leszek Miller said on the Polsat TV channel.

Blocking the Russian Rassvet satellite communication system at the request of Kyiv will lead to a full-fledged space war, this should be understood in the United States, said Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.

In addition, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz rejected the position of those citizens who express dissatisfaction with the fact that Germany continues to provide assistance to Ukraine.

The meanness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

About 100 UAVs were destroyed on Sunday night while repelling an air attack on the Rostov region; no casualties were reported, Governor Yuri Slyusar said.

The Ukrainian military attacked the Belgorod region 141 times in one day, and more than 180 UAVs were intercepted, Governor Alexander Shuvaev said.
