Three individuals, including a six-month-old baby and a 12-year-old girl, were killed this morning in the village of Pohreby, Kyiv Oblast, when their home was struck by Russian forces, with their bodies found in the burned remains. Separately, an oil refinery owned by Hungarian company MOL in Bratislava, which processes Russian oil via the Druzhba pipeline, is on fire this evening. These developments occurred within the reporting window from October 22nd, 2025, 5:02 PM UTC to 6:02 PM UTC. In addition to the fatalities in Pohreby, a gas station in Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast, was hit by a Russian strike this evening, according to visual geolocation data. The village of Kucheriv Yar in the Donetsk Oblast was also mentioned in reports during this period. Meanwhile, Ukraine has initiated the process of purchasing American AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom combat helicopters, a development described as very good news for the potential appearance of modern helicopters in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Amidst ongoing conflict, a comprehensive update on Ukrainian equipment losses since September 30th, 2025, was released, noting a significantly larger than usual documentation of losses. In Russia, reports indicate that critical aircraft parts for Sukhoi and MC-21 aircraft are being supplied from occupied Crimea as part of an "import substitution" effort. The Fiolent plant in Simferopol is reportedly supplying transformers, generators, motors, and electrical machines to replace components from Japanese company Tamagawa, though these new parts lack international certification, posing risks to flight safety. Earlier in the day, a drone strike hit a private kindergarten in Kharkiv, causing damage, as reported in previous updates. Diplomatic tensions also surfaced with Hungary's Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó reportedly mocking Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski over the Nord Stream pipeline incident. Sikorski defended actions as sabotage against an aggressor and praised a Hungarian major for targeting Russia's oil supply in response to Poland's refusal to extradite an individual involved. Sweden continues to highlight defense cooperation with Ukraine, with social media posts from the Swedish Embassy and Prime Minister's accounts featuring imagery and captions such as "Airplanes fly. 🇸🇪✈️🇺🇦" and "Now boarding," underscoring ongoing efforts related to the potential supply of Gripen fighter jets. Ukrainian pilots are reportedly undergoing training for these aircraft, which President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has identified as a strategic priority.
