Ukraine was attacked again, this time using Iranian drones, and the attacks came from two directions: Ukrainian-occupied Crimea and the Kurchskaya region in Russia. The main areas of attack were Odessa and Kharkov. Anti-aircraft units, mobile fire groups, and airforce were deployed to defend against the attacks. As a result of the battle, 23 drones were destroyed in the Odesa and Kharkov regions, but some managed to reach their targets. The most tragic event occurred in Kharkov, where a drone hit a gas station, causing an oil leak that ignited a fire. The fire destroyed at least five private homes, killing five people, including three children and their father. The bodies of the mother and youngest child were found in the bathroom, while the father's body was found in the house corridor. The search for the remaining child's remains is ongoing. The fire was put out, but there is still a risk of further fuel spills. Russian forces are accused of this heinous crime, and the consequences are being addressed. The operational situation along the front line is also unfavorable, with 111 clashes reported in the past day, and 76 rocket attacks and 73 aerial raids. Civilians and civilian infrastructure have been affected, and there have been casualties in various regions, including Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, and Nikolayev.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "10.02 Авдеевка, угроза окружения? рф применяет химические боеприпасы," the speaker discusses the operational situation along various front lines in Ukraine. In the northern sector, which includes the Volynskyi and Poleskyi directions, the operational environment remains stable and controlled by Ukrainian forces. However, the enemy maintains military presence in border regions and tries to conduct diversionary activities and launch attacks using artillery, mortars, and aviation. Ukrainian forces counter with counter-battery fire and repel numerous attacks. The enemy also continues to build defensive fortifications in the Belgorod Oblast. In the Hortytsa-Kupynske direction, the most intense fighting occurs near Bilohorivka, where the enemy uses underground communications and digs tunnels to get closer to Ukrainian positions and initiate close-quarter combat. The situation is especially critical in the Bahmutske direction, where the enemy has launched over 20 attacks near Bodativka, Ivanovske, and Yampil. The Ukrainian forces are building fortifications to hold their ground, but the enemy continues to push forward, with the latest advance near a hill called Chapov Yar, which was previously identified as a potential strong defensive position. The Ukrainian general staff believes that the enemy has begun a new wave of offensive actions in this sector.

In this section of the video, General Syrsky of the Horty Forces discusses the complex situation at the Avdeevka front line, particularly in relation to the chemical factory there. The enemy is attempting to surround the area by trying to advance from both the northern and southern directions. The Russian forces have made some progress in the north, potentially cutting off a key supply route, but the situation is reminiscent of the situation in Bahmut. The narrow corridor for supply lines in Avdeevka makes the situation even more challenging, as the ground is becoming unfrozen, making it difficult for vehicles to pass. General Syrsky emphasizes the urgency of making a decision regarding the garrison at Avdeevka to prevent potential tragedy and minimize losses, as the enemy continues to advance and make gains. Elsewhere, fighting is ongoing in the Georgievka and Novomikhaylovka areas, with the enemy attempting to create a covered position to attack from. The enemy is also building up forces and resources in the second echelon near Novomikhaylovka, causing concern for Ukrainian commanders. The situation in the area is critical, and quick and decisive action is required.

The Russians, who had been defeated by the Ukrainian brigade that had destroyed two Russian marine brigades of the Dalneye Vostochnyy Tykhoye Okean Flot last year, were attempting to flank Ugledar from the north. However, the Ukrainian forces have managed to improve their positions, resulting in a tactical success. The Zaporizhskie direction also saw the defense repel three enemy attacks west of Novopavlovka and in the Workyne area of the Zaporizhska oblast. The front line has been updated to reflect the Ukrainian progress, and they remain responsible for the operational-strategic line of defense in the Odesa-Hersonskoye direction. The Ukrainian forces continue to hold their positions on the Hersonskoye direction and repel enemy attacks, resulting in significant losses for the enemy. Ukrainian air forces have struck five enemy concentration areas and three command and control points and ammunition depots. Estimated enemy losses for the past few days totaled approximately 980 personnel, 9 tanks, 21 armored combat vehicles, 24 artillery systems, 26 motorized vehicles and auto-cisterns, and three specialized vehicles. The United States Congressional Delegation, led by the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, arrived in Kyiv to assess the situation on the front lines and in the Ukrainian armed forces. Meanwhile, Olaf Scholz met with Joe Biden in Washington for talks on Germany's strong support for the Ukrainian army.

In this section of the video titled "10.02 Авдеевка, угроза окружения? рф применяет химические боеприпасы," there is an ongoing heated debate surrounding a controversial interview given by Russian President Vladimir Putin to an American journalist, Carlson. The interview, which has caused confusion, irritation, and even amusement amongst some, sees Putin delivering his perspective on historical events and current situations. Putin has been criticized for being detached from reality and lacking a clear audience or message. The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has responded to Putin's allegations that Poland provoked the start of World War II by Germany. The minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, noted that Russia's leader has a history of blaming Poland for the Soviet invasion in 1939 and the subsequent breakdown of the Second Polish Republic. The Polish reaction came in response to Putin's $xtit;s claims that Poland purposefully instigated the war by opposing the Soviet Union's division of Poland with Germany. Notably, Putin neglected to mention in the interview that both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. The Polish Ministry of Defense also described the situation and condemned Russian aggression in Ukraine. Mobile military forces of Ukraine's Defense Forces reported 815 instances of Russian troops using chemical weapons against them along the front lines. The New York Times addressed the interview, reporting that Putin would not engage in negotiations with anyone before November, hoping for a Trump victory in the U.S. elections, and expecting more favorable terms from the U.S. under the new administration if he wins. The primary obstacle to a ceasefire, according to the New York Times, is the unwillingness of Ukrainian society to compromise and the opposition to negotiations with Russia.
