Slovakia announced new military aid for Ukraine, including engineering and demining support, through a memorandum signed at a defense forum in Kyiv on October 6th, 2025. The agreement, confirmed by Deputy Prime Minister Robert Kaliňák, signals an expansion of defense cooperation between the two nations. This marks the first state-level military aid from Slovakia since Robert Fico returned to power, although commercial arms sales by Slovak companies to Ukraine have reportedly continued. During the reporting window of October 6th, 2025, from 2:38 PM to 3:37 PM UTC, Ukrainian drone activity was reported in two separate locations. A drone strike hit a maternity hospital in Sumy, with footage of the impact shared by [@blyskavka_ua](https://twitter.com/blyskavka_ua). Additionally, a Ukrainian drone struck a train believed to be used for military purposes in Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, as reported by [@OSINTWarfare](https://twitter.com/OSINTWarfare). These developments occur amidst ongoing broader conflict and information warfare. Previously, on October 6th, 2025, a Ukrainian project, "I Want to Live," published estimated Russian military losses for the first nine months of 2025, reporting 281,550 individuals killed, wounded, or missing, including 86,744 deaths. Separately, reports from earlier on October 6th, 2025, detailed the destruction of the largest fuel depot in Crimea by Ukrainian forces, exacerbating existing petrol shortages on the peninsula. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also announced on October 6th, 2025, that Ukraine's military-industrial complex would receive $35 billion in 2026 for drone and missile production, with a goal for domestically produced weapons to constitute 50% of those used by defense forces by the end of 2026. In the context of the information war, [@StratcomCentre](https://twitter.com/StratcomCentre) shared content alleging that priests of the Russian Orthodox Church are openly calling for the genocide of the Ukrainian people, characterizing the church as a "PR and money laundering arm of the Kremlin."
