Daily Chronicle of Russian Invasion
Russia carried out the largest missile attack since the beginning of the war
On October 10, Ukraine withstood the largest missile attack on non-military objects since February 24. According to the General Staff of the AFU, the total number of missiles launched amounts to 84. Aside from that, Russian army used 24 UAVs, 13 of which were Iranian-made “Shahed-136”. 56 targets were intercepted. Among them 43 cruise missiles and 13 UAVs (including 10 of the "kamikaze" type).
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhnyi published the scheme of the missile strikes conducted by Russian Federation.
He emphasized that the air defence forces of the Air Force, Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other anti-aircraft units destroyed most of the missiles and ammunition.
"In the conditions of such intensity of the strikes coming from all directions simultaneously, they (air defence forces, - ed.) demonstrated professionalism and dedication to the task. We are forced to repel these attacks, using Soviet-era weapons, which, moreover, we do not have in sufficient quantity," Zaluzhnyi stressed.
This is how the aggressor state 🇷🇺 carries out air-to-surface & surface-to-surface missile attacks on 🇺🇦territory. Situation as of 10:20-11:00. Enemy used air-,sea- & land based missiles; ballistic missiles; surface-to-air missiles; reconnaissance & attack UAVs of Shahed-136 typeEnergy Minister Herman Galushchenko calls this attack the largest since the beginning of the war.
"This is the largest attack on the energy system of Ukraine during the entire war. The cynicism of this attack is that the entire supply chain was hit to make it difficult to reconnect and provide electricity from other sources," the minister said.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Denys Monastyrskyi, said that 14 people have been confirmed dead, and another 97 people have been injured.
"Actually, this is the second time since February 24 this year that there has been such a large-scale shelling, and from the point of view of critical energy infrastructure, this is probably the largest shelling in history. Now the shelling can be called energy terrorism, it was a continuation of nuclear terrorism with a Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, which the Russian Federation constantly shelled," Monastyrskyi said.
This attack was widely praised by the Russians. One of the most prominent propaganda producers in Russia, Editor-in-Chief of Russia Today, several tweets praising this attack. In this particular tweet, she tries to explain why it took Russians so long to launch such wide-scale genocidal actions using Russian folklore.
Семь раз отмерь - один отрежь, поспешишь - людей насмешишь, русский медленно запрягает, да быстро едет - и другие русские пословицы, объясняющие сегодняшнее утро.Ukrainians, however, have launched a crowdfunding campaign to buy several Ukrainian-made kamikaze drones to avenge this attack. In one day, this campaign has gathered approximately 5,6 billion USD.
Our crowdfunding campaign with @sternenko to help Ukrainian Armed Forces has reach the sum of ≈ 5,6 million USD. Ukrainians are enraged by russian terror attacks! And we will answer! Great, but we can do better! The campaign will end tomorrow at 12:00. So pls join our cause!Ukrainians worldwide joined rallies to condemn Russian genocidal acts and showcase the unity of the Ukrainian nation.

“Today, they shelled peaceful cities and energy infrastructure across the entirety of Ukraine. At any moment, they can create a provocation and emergency; shell ZNPP since they don’t care about nuclear safety at all.”
The acting CEO emphasized the importance of refusing to sign any reports or contracts:
“Don’t betray your station, don’t do anything that will undo your previous life. I will ensure you that Energoatom will be with you always if your refusal to occupiers will cause negative consequences from them”

Ukraine suspends electricity exports to stabilize the energy system
This is reported by the Ministry of Energy.
"Today's missile attacks, which hit the thermal generation and electrical substations, force Ukraine to suspend electricity exports from October 11, 2022, in order to stabilize its own energy system," the message reads.
It is noted that Russia continues to carry out energy terror against Ukraine, and also increases energy pressure on the European Union. Thus, the export of electricity from Ukraine helped Europe to reduce the consumption of Russian energy resources.
"And that is why Russia is destroying our energy system, killing the very possibility of exporting electricity from Ukraine," Minister of Energy Herman Halushchenko suggests.
