Ukrainian forces struck an oil terminal in occupied Feodosia, Crimea on the night of October 6 to 7. The Ukrainian General Staff reported on October 7 that Ukrainian forces struck an oil terminal in occupied Feodosia causing a fire near the facility and that Ukrainian authorities are clarifying the damage to the facility.[1] The Ukrainian General Staff also reported that Feodosia houses the largest oil terminal in occupied Crimea and that Russia uses this terminal to transport petroleum products to the Russian military. Feodosia occupation mayor Igor Tkachenko acknowledged the fire at the oil depot and claimed that it did not cause an oil spill.[2] A Crimea-focused source claimed that the Russian military had deployed a Pantsir-S1 air defense system to the area in June 2024 to protect the Feodosia oil terminal.[3] Footage published on October 7 shows a fire purportedly at the Feodosia oil terminal.[4]

Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lyubinets reported on October 7 that Ukrainian authorities are investigating another case of Russian forces' unjust abuse and execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs). Lyubinets reported that he sent letters to the United Nations (UN) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in response to recent aerial footage of Russian forces torturing and executing three unarmed Ukrainian POWs near Niu York, Donetsk Oblast.[5] Lyubinets noted that a Ukrainian brigade operating in the area published the footage on October 6 and highlighted that the highest levels of the Russian military command appear to be tolerating Russian war crimes in Ukraine. The Geneva Convention on POWs prohibits the "mutilation, cruel treatment, and torture" of POWs, as well as the execution of POWs or persons who are clearly rendered hors de combat.[6] Head of the Ukrainian Department for Combating Crimes in Conditions of Armed Conflict Yuri Bilousov stated on October 4 that Ukrainian sources documented evidence indicating that Russian forces have executed 93 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POW) on the battlefield since the start of the full-scale invasion and that 80 percent of the recorded cases occurred in 2024.[7] Bilousov noted on October 5 that these war crimes are systemic and that Russian authorities clearly condone these crimes. ISW has extensively reported on previous footage and reports of Russian servicemembers executing Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) and observed a wider trend of Russian abuses against Ukrainian POWs across various sectors of the front that appeared to be enabled, if not explicitly endorsed, by individual Russian commanders and unpunished by Russian field commanders.[8]

Russian authorities announced an "unprecedented" cyberattack against Russian state media infrastructure on October 7. The All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) reported that unspecified actors hacked VGTRK's online services overnight in an "unprecedented" attack, and pro-Kremlin Russian news outlet Gazeta reported that the attack took down broadcasts of Russian state television channels Rossiya-1, Rossiya-24, Rossiya Kultura, Karusel, and roughly 80 regional television and radio companies.[9] Gazeta cited a source in the Russian information security field claiming that hacker group "sudo rm -RF," which is allegedly linked to Ukraine, conducted the cyberattack.[10] (The group’s name refers to a Linux command to delete files.) Ukrainian news outlet Suspilne, citing its own sources, stated that "sudo rm -RF" has claimed responsibility and that VGTRK employees complained that the attack deleted all backup information.[11] The information security expert claimed to Gazeta that the hackers most likely used a type of encryption virus that deletes files rather than just encrypting them and warned that VGTRK will now have to close the vulnerability in addition to recovering backups of its systems.[12] VGTRK claimed that its systems did not suffer significant damage despite the attack and that its systems are operating normally.[13] Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov expressed support for VGTRK and characterized the cyberattack as an attack on Russian critical infrastructure.[14]

Key Takeaways:

• Ukrainian forces struck an oil terminal in occupied Feodosia, Crimea on the night of October 6 to 7.
• Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lyubinets reported on October 7 that Ukrainian authorities are investigating another case of Russian forces' unjust abuse and execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs).
• Russian authorities announced an "unprecedented" cyberattack against Russian state media infrastructure on October 7.
• Russian forces recently advanced in northern Kharkiv Oblast, in Donetsk Oblast, and in western Zaporizhia Oblast.

We do not report in detail on Russian war crimes because these activities are well-covered in Western media and do not directly affect the military operations we are assessing and forecasting. We will continue to evaluate and report on the effects of these criminal activities on the Ukrainian military and the Ukrainian population and specifically on combat in Ukrainian urban areas. We utterly condemn Russian violations of the laws of armed conflict and the Geneva Conventions and crimes against humanity even though we do not describe them in these reports.

A Ukrainian military observer stated that Russian forces seized Myasozharivka (west of Svatove).[26] A Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces advanced east of Kolisnykivka and Kruhlyakivka (both southeast of Kupyansk), although ISW has not observed visual evidence of these claims.[27] Russian forces attacked northeast of Kupyansk near Synkivka; east of Kupyansk near Kucherivka; southeast of Kupyansk near Kruhlyakivka, Novoosynove, and Stepova Novoselivka; west of Svatove near Vyshneve; northwest of Kreminna near Druzhelyubivka, Novosadove, Nevske, and Hrekivka; west of Kreminna near Zarichne; south of Kreminna near the Serebryanske forest area; and southwest of Kreminna near Dibrova on October 6 and 7.[28] Ukraine's Luhansk Group of Forces Spokesperson Anastasiya Bobovnikova stated that Russian forces are conducting roughly a dozen infantry assaults per day using three to four personnel in the Luhansk direction and only occasionally attempt to conduct mechanized assaults.[29]

Russian Subordinate Main Effort #3 – Donetsk Oblast (Russian objective: Capture the entirety of Donetsk Oblast, the claimed territory of Russia’s proxies in Donbas)

Russian forces continued assaults northeast of Siversk near Bilohorivka on October 6 and 7, but there were no confirmed changes to the frontline in the area.[30] Ukraine's Luhansk Group of Forces Spokesperson Anastasiya Bobovnikova stated that Russian forces are conducting armored assaults in the Siversk direction.[31]

Russian forces continued offensive operations near Chasiv Yar itself and south of Chasiv Yar near Bila Hora and Stupochky on October 6 and 7, but there were no confirmed changes to the frontline in this area.[32] Bobovnikova stated that Russian forces are conducting small infantry assaults without armored equipment near Chasiv Yar.[33] Elements of the Russian 98th Airborne (VDV) Division are reportedly operating near Chasiv Yar.[34]

Russian forces continued offensive operations north of Toretsk near Dyliivka; near Toretsk itself; and south of Toretsk near Niu York, Nelipivka, and in the direction of Shcherbynivka on October 6 and 7, but there were no confirmed changes to the frontline.[35] Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces advanced along Rudnychna and Torhova streets in central Toretsk and are approaching the Tsentralna mine in central Toretsk, but ISW has not observed visual confirmation of these claims.[36]

Russian forces reportedly seized Tsukuryne (southeast of Pokrovsk) amid continued offensive operations east and southeast of Pokrovsk on October 6 and 7. Ukrainian military observers stated on October 6 that Russian forces pushed Ukrainian forces from the poultry farm in eastern Tsukuryne and seized the remainder of the settlement.[37] The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed that Russian forces seized Hrodivka (east of Pokrovsk), and Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov credited elements of the 55th Motorized Rifle Brigade (41st Combined Arms Army [CAA], Central Military District [CMD]), 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade (41st CAA, CMD), 35th Motorized Rifle Brigade (41st CAA, CMD), and 201st Military Base (CMD) with seizing the settlement.[38] ISW has not observed visual confirmation of Russian forces operating in the northern or eastern areas of Hrodivka, however. Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces seized Zhelanne Druhe (southeast of Pokrovsk) and advanced east of Pokrovsk near Novohrodivka and Lysivka and southeast of Pokrovsk near Seldyove, Novoselydivka, Izmailivka, Hirnyk, and Nevske.[39] ISW has not observed confirmation of these claims, however.

Russian and Ukrainian sources did not report on ground attacks in the Donetsk-Zaporizhia Oblast border area on October 7.

Russian Supporting Effort – Southern Axis (Russian objective: Maintain frontline positions and secure rear areas against Ukrainian strikes)

Russian sources reported that the operational tempo in the southern frontline near Kamyanske, Zaporizhia Oblast, is increasing after a protracted operational lull following the Summer 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive. Geolocated footage published on October 6 indicates that Russian forces marginally advanced near Kamyanske and Plavni on the eastern shore of the Kakhovka Reservoir, reportedly between October 6 and 7.[50] Several Russian milbloggers claimed on October 6 that Russian forces counterattacked after Ukrainian forces unsuccessfully attempted to break through near Kamyanske and that Russian forces advanced to positions north of dried-up sections of the Kakhovka Reservoir immediately west of Kamyanske and entered the area west of Kamyanske.[51] Artillery elements of the Russian 4th Military Base (58th Combined Arms Army [CAA], Southern Military District [SMD]) reportedly repelled a Ukrainian attack near Kamyanske.[52] One Russian source claimed on October 7 that the Russian advance into northwestern Kamyanske occurred in early October, although most Russian sources claimed that the advance occurred on October 6 or 7.[53] One Russian source claimed that both Russian and Ukrainian forces are deploying reserves to the Kamyanske area, although ISW is unable to independently verify this claim.[54] The Russian advance remains tactical, and it remains unclear how operations may evolve in western Zaporizhia Oblast.

The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian forces also conducted ground attacks near Robotyne on October 7.[55] A Russian source claimed that elements of the Russian 4th Military Base (58th CAA, SMD) are disrupting Ukrainian forces’ Starlink systems in the Zaporizhia direction (likely with electronic warfare) and that Russian aviation continues striking Ukrainian forces near Orikhiv with FAB-1500 bombs.[56] Elements of the Russian 35th CAA (Eastern Military District [EMD]) reportedly continue operating near Polohy and Hulyaipole (both northeast of Robotyne) and elements of the Russian BARS-11 "Kuban" detachment (Russian Combat Army Reserve) reportedly continue operating in the Zaporizhia direction.[57]

The Ukrainian General Staff reported on October 6 and 7 that Ukrainian forces repelled Russian assaults in unspecified areas of the Kherson direction, likely referring to areas in east (left) bank Kherson Oblast.[58]

Russian Air, Missile, and Drone Campaign (Russian Objective: Target Ukrainian military and civilian infrastructure in the rear and on the frontline)

Russian force conducted another series of missile and drone strikes against Ukraine overnight on October 6 to 7 and on the morning of October 7. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces launched more than 80 drones and missiles, including one Iskander-M ballistic missile, a Kh-59 cruise missile, and another missile of an unknown type from Belgorod and Kursk oblasts, and an unspecified number of strike drones, likely Shaheds, from Primorsko-Akhtarsk and Yeysk, Krasnodar Krai, Oryol Oblast, and Kursk Oblast overnight.[59] The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces also launched three Kh-47M2 Kinzhal ballistic missiles at Kyiv Oblast from airspace over Tambov Oblast on the morning of October 7. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Ukrainian forces downed two Kinzhal missiles and 32 drones in Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava, and Kharkiv oblasts, and that likely Ukrainian electronic warfare (EW) interference caused another 37 Russian strike drones to become lost and fail to hit their targets. The Air Force reported that several Russian drones struck the frontline in Kharkiv Oblast and that one Kinzhal missile struck Starokostyantyniv Air Base in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration Head Serhiy Lysak stated that Russian forces also struck Pavlohrad overnight.[60] Kyiv City Military Administration Head Serhiy Popko stated that debris from the Kinzhal missiles damaged residential areas in Kyiv City and characterized the October 7 strike as the fourth Russian strike series against Kyiv since October 1.[61] Russian sources claimed that Russian forces hit a Ukrainian ammunition depot near the Pivdennyi Port, Odesa Oblast on October 6.[62]

Russian Mobilization and Force Generation Efforts (Russian objective: Expand combat power without conducting general mobilization)

The Kremlin reportedly aims to significantly increase the number of Russian military veterans of the war in Ukraine who hold prominent positions in Russian local and regional governments. Russian sources claimed on October 7 citing informed sources that Russian Presidential Administration Deputy Head Sergei Kiriyenko promised Russian President Vladimir Putin that at least 50 Russian veterans of the war in Ukraine will become mayors and regional governors through the "Time of Heroes" veteran reintegration program by 2026.[63]

Russian regional authorities continue to significantly increase one-time payments for Russian contract personnel to financially incentivize contract recruitment to support crypto-mobilization efforts. Belgorod Oblast Head Vyacheslav Gladkov announced on October 7 that one-time payments for Russian military volunteers and contract personnel will increase to three million rubles (about $31,103) through December 31, 2024.[64] Russian regional authorities have been significantly increasing these one-time payments to Russian contract personnel as the Kremlin continues to lean into its struggling voluntary recruitment effort to avoid a potential future wave of partial mobilization.[65]

Russian Technological Adaptations (Russian objective: Introduce technological innovations to optimize systems for use in Ukraine)

Nothing significant to report.

Ukrainian Defense Industrial Efforts (Ukrainian objective: Develop its defense industrial base to become more self-sufficient in cooperation with US, European, and international partners)

ISW is suspending publishing coverage of Ukrainian defense industrial efforts until further notice.

Activities in Russian-occupied areas (Russian objective: Consolidate administrative control of annexed areas; forcibly integrate Ukrainian citizens into Russian sociocultural, economic, military, and governance systems)

ISW is not publishing reporting on activities in Russian-occupied areas today.

Russian Information Operations and Narratives

Nothing significant to report.

Significant activity in Belarus (Russian efforts to increase its military presence in Belarus and further integrate Belarus into Russian-favorable frameworks and Wagner Group activity in Belarus)

Nothing significant to report.
