President Donald J. Trump has signed an order directing the Pentagon and intelligence agencies to provide Ukraine with intelligence for long-range missile strikes against energy infrastructure inside Russia, marking the first time the U.S. will offer such support for strikes within Russian territory. U.S. officials are also urging NATO Allies to offer similar assistance to Kyiv. This development occurred recently as the Penza region in Russia introduced a "carpet" plan, according to the regional governor. The order allows for potential strikes on targets deep within Russia, including Moscow, with the U.S. also considering the delivery of Tomahawk and Barracuda Cruise Missiles, along with other American-made ground and air-launched missiles with ranges of approximately 500 miles. This move signifies a significant escalation in U.S. support for Ukraine's offensive capabilities. The "carpet" plan in the Penza region was announced by the governor of that region, though the specific reasons for its implementation were not detailed. These developments follow previous reports from October 1st and early October 2nd, 2025, detailing ongoing battles in Ukraine's Pokrovsk direction, French warnings of imminent hostilities with Russia, and discussions surrounding Western military aid. The Радар ВРВ system in Saratov issued urgent warnings on October 2nd, between 12:06 AM and 12:35 AM UTC, directing residents to seek shelter due to multiple radar fixations, indicating a potential immediate threat. The nature of these fixations remains unspecified but prompted immediate public safety directives.
