Volodymyr Zelensky has said there has been no real reaction from the world after Moscow's "deliberate and open" attack on Ukraine in Lviv.
“Russia is openly trying to destroy our civilian infrastructure right now, ahead of winter – our gas infrastructure, our power generation and transmission,” he said in his nightly address.
“Zero real reaction from the world. We will fight so that the world does not remain silent and so that Russia feels the response,” Zelensky said.
At least five civilians have died after Russia launched drones, missiles and guided aerial bombs at Ukraine overnight in a major attack that officials there said targeted civilian infrastructure.
Moscow sent more than 50 ballistic missiles and around 500 drones into nine regions across Ukraine, Zelensky said on Sunday morning.
Poland said it scrambled aircraft early on Sunday to ensure its air safety after Russia launched the airstrikes on Ukraine, with Ukrainian officials reporting missiles and drones raining down on the Lviv region near the Polish border.

Ukrainian attacks have contributed to Russian fuel shortages

Ukraine’s long-range attacks on refineries and other oil facilities contributed to Russian fuel shortages at the pump in August.
Improving domestically produced weapons, especially drones, has been one of Ukrainian authorities’ chief goals as it strives to counter Russian’s invasion and reach deeper into Russia with strikes that put military, political and social pressure on President Vladimir Putin.
Though Russia’s national economy and army are much bigger than Ukraine’s, Kyiv has largely limited Russian battlefield gains to slow and costly progress across the Ukrainian countryside as cutting-edge drone technology makes up in part for its shortage of soldiers.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said its team at Europe's biggest nuclear power plant in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia had heard several rounds of incoming and outgoing shelling from near the site on Monday.

Trump 'sort of made a decision' on supplying Tomahawk missiles

Alex Ross
Donald Trump said he would want to know what Ukraine planned to do with US-made Tomahawk missiles before agreeing to supply them because he does not want to escalate Russia's war against Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has asked the US to sell Tomahawks to European nations that would send them to Ukraine.
Tomahawk missiles have a range of 2,500 km (1,550 miles), putting Moscow in the range of Ukraine's arsenal, were Kyiv to be granted them.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a video clip released on Sunday that if Washington supplied Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine for long-range strikes deep into Russia, it would lead to the destruction of Moscow's relationship with Washington.
Asked by reporters at the White House whether he had decided about supplying Ukraine with Tomahawks, Trump did not rule it out and said he had "sort of made a decision" on the matter.
"I think I want to find out what they're doing with them," he said. "Where are they sending them? I guess I'd have to ask that question."
"I would ask some questions. I'm not looking to escalate that war," he added.

The end of the Czech initiative for delivering ammunition to Ukraine would hurt the Czech Republic as well as Kyiv's defence against Russia, Czech president Petr Pavel said on Monday.

Russian sabotage groups are operating inside the embattled eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, where forces from both sides have clashed, said the commander of a Ukrainian drone unit.
Dmytro Lavro, a deputy commander in Ukraine's 25th Airborne Brigade, said fighting rages "on the ground and in the sky" for the city, a strategic hub for Kyiv's forces on the eastern front.
"The enemy is putting pressure on us (and) we are doing our best to repel them," he said. "At the moment, we are evenly matched."
Russia has been attacking Pokrovsk for many months as it grinds out incremental gains in the east and south of Ukraine. Open source maps showing Russian military positions indicate the city is being gradually surrounded in a pincer movement.
Lavro added that the proportion of Ukrainian-made drones and ammunition had increased since 2023, the result of Kyiv's efforts to scale up its burgeoning domestic defence industry.

The Rosneft-controlled Tuapse oil refinery in Russia's southern Krasnodar region was targeted by Ukrainian drones overnight, causing a fire at a building for security staff which was quickly out, regional authorities said this morning.
Ukraine has sharply stepped up its drone strikes on Russia's oil refineries and pipelines in the past two months in what it says is a response to Russia's attacks on its own energy infrastructure.
Just hours earlier, the Russian military said that its air defence units had destroyed 251 Ukrainian drones overnight, most of them over the southwest, with 61 over the waters of the Black Sea and one heading towards Moscow.
"On the night of 6 October, drone debris fell on the grounds of the Tuapse oil refinery. A fire broke out in the security building, which was quickly extinguished," local officials in the Krasnodar region, where the refinery is located, said on the Telegram social media channel.
"Two people were injured and hospitalised," they said.
The export-oriented Tuapse plant, which has a processing capacity of 240,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) produces naphtha, fuel oil, vacuum gasoil and high-sulphur diesel.
It mainly supplies China, Malaysia, Singapore and Turkey.

The Ukrainian General Staff said it struck the Sverdlov ammunition plant in the Nizhny Novgorod region of western Russia overnight, causing multiple explosions and a fire. It said the plant supplies Russian forces with aviation and artillery ordnance, aviation bombs, and anti-aircraft and anti-tank munitions.
Ukrainian drones also hit an oil terminal in Crimea, starting a blaze, and an ammunition depot of Russia’s 18th Combined Arms Army, the General Staff said.

Kremlin trying to stop Trump from providing Tomahawk to Ukraine – ISW

The Kremlin is trying to prevent the United States from providing Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine in order to retain the sanctuary that Russia enjoys in its rear, a Washington-based think tank has said.
“Ukrainian forces are able to conduct long-range drone strikes against a significant portion of Russia’s rear, but the payloads on these drones are limited and not suitable to destroy specialised objects,” the Institute for the Study of War said.
It added that Ukraine’s ability to launch missile strikes “deep into Russia’s rear with larger payloads would allow Ukraine to significantly damage – if not destroy – key military assets in Russia, such as the Shahed drone factory in Yelabuga, Republic of Tatarstan, or the Engels-2 Air Base in Saratov Oblast from which Russia sorties strategic bombers that fire air-launch cruise missiles at Ukraine”.
“ISW assesses that there are at least 1,945 Russian military objects within range of the 2,500-kilometre variant Tomahawk and at least 1,655 within range of the 1,600-kilometre variant,” the think tank monitoring the war in Ukraine said.
“Ukraine likely can significantly degrade Russia’s frontline battlefield performance by targeting a vulnerable subset of rear support areas that sustain and support Russia’s frontline operations,” it said.

Russia launched drones, missiles and guided aerial bombs across Ukraine in the early hours yesterday, killing five people in a major nighttime attack that Ukrainian officials said targeted civilian infrastructure.
Moscow fired 53 ballistic and cruise missiles and 496 drones, Ukraine's air force said. Volodymyr Zelensky reported that nine regions were targeted.
Four people, including a 15-year-old, died in a combined drone and missile strike on Lviv, according to regional officials and Ukraine's emergency service.
It was the largest aerial assault on the historic western city and surrounding region since Russia's full-scale invasion on February 2022, according to Maksym Kozytskyi, head of the local military administration. Earlier in the war, Lviv was seen as a haven from the fighting and destruction farther east.
In a Telegram post, Kozytskyi said Russia launched about 140 Shahed drones and 23 ballistic missiles across the region. At least six more people were injured, according to a statement by Ukraine's police force.
