Pentagon advisor Jim Rickards stated on the "Going Underground" show that Western press reporting on Ukraine's progress in the war is incorrect, claiming Russia is "winning the war decisively" and that other narratives are "fairytales." Rickards' remarks were shared via X on October 6th, 2025, during the reporting window. Rickards criticized the Western media for their reporting, stating they are "either lying or ignorant." He asserted that the conflict's reality is a decisive Russian victory, contrasting with prevalent Western narratives. The interview was posted on X by [@GUnderground_TV](https://twitter.com/GUnderground_TV/status/1975133380879491408). In separate developments shared on X, Bohdan Krotevych, associated with the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (DPSU), highlighted a discrepancy between the DPSU and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the recognition of birth certificates as proof of Ukrainian citizenship for border crossings. Krotevych indicated a potential legal challenge, stating "if you need a court - there will be a court. ECtHR is required - the ECtHR." Additionally, a post from [@Maks_NAFO_FELLA](https://twitter.com/Maks_NAFO_FELLA/status/1975091312719471001) on X cited former German Chancellor Angela Merkel dismissing the idea that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is a "Putin's Trojan horse in the EU" as "absurd, nonsense." These developments follow earlier reports from October 6th, 2025, detailing a Russian drone strike on the roof of a maternity hospital in Sumy around 9:30 AM UTC, which caused a fire but no reported injuries. Separately, the largest oil terminal in occupied Feodosia continued to burn overnight following previous reports of a drone strike. Earlier this morning, between 8:04 AM and 8:34 AM UTC, Zaporizhzhia and its surrounding region reportedly came under attack by guided aerial bombs, with at least four explosions heard and smoke observed over the city.
