Two teenagers were killed by Russian authorities in the Ukrainian city of Berdyansk, local news reported. The pair shot and killed a police officer and a civilian, according to reports. In May, a Ukrainian nonprofit said the 17-year-olds had be tortured by Russian law enforcement. The two 17-year-olds, referred to by Russian authorities as "pro-Ukrainian terrorists," were "neutralized," Russian news agency Interfax reported. Media Initiative for Human Rights, a Ukrainian nonprofit organization, reported in May that the teenagers had been tortured by Russian law enforcement.

These activities are a detriment to the Ukrainian counteroffensive, but Kyiv's forces appear to be adapting. In this situation, "Russian forces deployed aviation in a way they haven't recently, to front-line positions, and were able to use it more successfully than they have in the past," he said.

"Ukrainian forces are having to adapt to how Russian forces are employing these in southern Ukraine," he said, noting that they are seeing signs of that as the Ukrainians set the stage for their main attack. Ukraine hasn't committed the bulk of its dedicated counteroffensive forces to a major assault operation, and, as ISW's George Barros said recently, "big fireworks are still to come."

An official described how a Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle took a direct hit but kept going. Tough vehicles like the Bradley are stronger than Ukraine's own equipment, and may give it an edge.

Ukraine's armed forces have "intensified" night assaults in recent days, Russian sources claimed. A Russian military blogger claimed that Ukrainian forces now have "excellent" night-vision optics, which has encouraged them to carry out more nighttime assaults in the ongoing counteroffensive, according to the report. Vladimir Rogov, a Zaporizhzhia Oblast occupation official, said that night strikes gave the Ukrainian military a tactical edge the report says.

☆ Ukraine's forces are facing 'tough battles' and taking losses early in its offensive, but war experts say it has a lot left to hammer Russian lines

There are reports of heavy personnel and equipment losses in some sectors. Ukrainian forces gained ground in areas around Bakhmut, a city of limited strategic value that Russia only recently captured at tremendous cost. Through its counteroffensive operations, Ukraine is confronting these hardened Russian defenses with a force that while experienced is employing new weapons with, in some cases, new tactics. Ukrainian forces will suffer losses, including of both Western and Soviet equipment, during any offensive operations," ISW said. "Loss of equipment — including Western equipment — early on in the counteroffensive is not an indicator of the future progress of Ukraine's counteroffensive," it said.

Russian troops are trying to escape the occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia, a Ukrainian mayor reportedly said. The mayor said residents saw Russian troops dressing as civilians to join the evacuation, according to local news outlet Pravda. So, our residents report frequent cases when the Russian military personnel change into civilian clothes," the outlet reported he said. In March 2022 Fedorov was abducted by Russian forces and freed later that month, Ukrainian officials said. Galina Danilchenko, a local politician with long-held pro-Russian views, was installed as acting mayor in Fedorov's place.

CNN —Multiple explosions have been reported in the Russian-occupied city of Melitopol in southern Ukraine, in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and in annexed Crimea – including at a Russian military barracks. Federov last month said Russia had turned Melitopol into “one giant military base.”“The Russian military is settling in local houses they seized, schools and kindergartens. The Ukrainian military has not yet confirmed or commented on the attack. The unofficial Crimean media portal “Krymskyi veter” said an explosion at a Russian military barracks in Sovietske had set the barracks on fire and there were dead and wounded. “In total, Russian terrorists used 15 Shahed drones against Odesa,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during his daily address on Saturday.
☆ UK Defence Ministry: Russian logistical issues intensify after Crimea bridge blast
  + stars: | 2022-10-17 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: 1 min
Oct 17 (Reuters) - Logistical issues faced by Russian forces in southern Ukraine have become more acute following damage to a key bridge to Crimea on Oct. 8, a British intelligence update said on Monday. "With the Russian presence in Kherson strained, and the supply routes through Crimea degraded, the ground line of communication through Zaporizhzhia Oblast is becoming more important to the sustainability of Russia’s occupation," the UK Ministry of Defence tweeted in a regular bulletin. Russian forces in southern Ukraine are likely increasing logistical supply flow via Mariupol in an attempt to compensate for the reduced capacity of the bridge, the update said.
