The news ticker on the Ukraine war: Ukraine seems to be causing problems for Russia’s war tactics with the Kursk offensive. Putin rejects this.
Update from October 4th, 12:10 p.m.: An employee of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine is said to have been killed by a car bomb. According to the State Investigative Committee in Russia, an explosive device exploded as the man tried to get into the car. Ukraine confirmed the incident. According to the Ukrainian secret service, the man was a collaborator who opposed pro-Ukrainian employees at the nuclear power plant.
First report: Kyiv – May Russia continue the offensive in eastern Ukraine in its current form? According to an analysis by the think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Russia’s president could Vladimir Putin In the coming weeks or months, the necessary soldiers and military equipment will run out to maintain the advance at the front.
No operational ones Achievements for Russia’s offensive in Ukraine war
The Russian troops are said to have repeatedly achieved tactical successes during their advance. Kremlin chief Putin’s army was even able to take the city of Wuhledar on October 1st. A success that, according to the ISW, could provide an advantage in combat, but will not have a significant impact on the war in the Donetsk Oblast. In addition, Russian soldiers will find it difficult to achieve their operational goals in the region. This refers to successes that not only offer a selective advantage, but also affect large areas of the front line.

The information processed here comes from international media and news agencies, but also from the warring parties in the Ukraine war. The information about the war in Ukraine cannot be independently verified.
In general, one can observe that Russia’s important goals on the front are either stalling or are only delivering gradual results. “Current Russian offensive operations in eastern Ukraine are likely to reach their peak in the coming months, if not weeks,” the ISW said. This could indicate that there have been supply difficulties in the army. The Ukrainian attack on the Russian city of Kursk appears to have made a major contribution to this.
Did the Kursk Offensive slow Russia’s advance? Putin says no – Zelensky celebrates success
Opinions about whether the Ukrainian offensive in Kursk is a success differ between the warring parties. The Ukrainian president spoke in mid-September Volodymyr Zelensky that the Kursk offensive had curbed Russian advances, the news agency reported Reuters. “It produced the results that, frankly, we expected. In the Kharkiv region the enemy was stopped. Its advance in the Donetsk region has been slowed down, although it is very difficult there,” Zelenskyy said at a conference in Kiev.
Putin sees the situation completely differently. “The enemy’s aim was to make us nervous and worried, to move troops from one sector to another and to stop our offensive in key regions, especially in Donbass,” he quoted him as saying Reuters at the Eastern Economic Forum at the beginning of September. “Did it work? No.”
The ISW, on the other hand, suspects that Russia’s troops did come into trouble as a result of the Kursk offensive. According to this, Putin’s army used up a large part of the reserves it had accumulated for the offensive in northern Kharkiv, including for the defense of Kursk. Further acts of war in Kharkiv and Donetsk would have done the rest to further worsen the supply situation for Russia during the war. Continued troop deployments to Kursk would further exacerbate the impact.
