Last night alone, there were strikes on substations in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, and Odesa regions. Tens of thousands of families remain without power. Energy workers and repair crews are working virtually around the clock to restore electricity supply. Overnight, the Russians also struck residential buildings in our regions. As of now, 12 people have been reported injured, including two children. Two people have been killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. This morning, there was a strike on an agricultural enterprise in Volyn. All necessary services are working at the site. In total, over this past week, the Russians have attacked Ukraine with almost 2,700 attack drones, 1,700 aerial bombs, and 66 missiles, most of them ballistic. The main targets of these strikes are energy facilities – the Russians are trying to cause a blackout. And America should see that Russia is not taking any reciprocal steps in response to sanctions relief or agreements. On the contrary, they take every signal of an opportunity to make money as proof that their bet on war is paying off and they can keep fighting. It is because of this position of Russia’s that the war continues, not because Ukraine is rightfully defending itself. It is Russia that must face pressure for peace to have a chance. Thank you to everyone who understands this and helps. @ZelenskyyUa https://t.co/YOquU0GGLL — Defense of Ukraine (@DefenceU) October 18, 2026 08:12 Trump is exerting pressure for Ukraine to surrender Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused American President Donald Trump of trying to pressure Ukraine to surrender to Russia last night. Zelensky said he proposed that Trump fulfill his demand regarding the non-attack on Russian refineries in exchange for Ukraine to receive additional missiles for "Patriot" air defense systems. "My proposal was: we will not hit Russian diesel production capacities, and you will give us missiles for 'Patriot' systems so that we can protect our objects. However, they only demand that we stop attacks on diesel. And if we continue those attacks, they will cut something else from us," Zelensky said to Bloomberg. He assessed that Washington has recently been making a series of "hostile moves" against Kyiv, including deliberately slowing down the internet via the Starlink system, as well as delaying the delivery of missiles for the Patriot system. "I believe these are steps to convince Ukraine to capitulate. I do not claim that this is the goal our partners are aiming for. I do not want to think that our American partners believe that the war can end faster at Ukraine's expense. But that is how it looks," Zelensky said. 08:11 Peskov: No decision has been made yet... No decision has been made yet about whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will personally attend the G20 summit in May in Majuba, stated Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov yesterday. State Secretary Marko Rubio stated in September that the American administration had called Putin to participate in the G20 summit in Majuba on December 14th and 15th. President of the United States Donald Trump stated that he would be "happy" to see Putin at the summit. 08:11 The Russian Ministry of Defense announced today that a mass attack was carried out on the objects of the Ukrainian armed forces in Kyiv and the Kyiv region, resulting in one death and eight injuries. "Russian forces carried out a mass attack during the night using precision weapons from land bases and long-range drones on military-industrial facilities, missile storage sites, and unmanned aircraft, as well as the data processing center in Kyiv and the Kyiv region," the Russian Ministry of Defense announced, according to TASS. 08:10 Day's review – October 18 - Ukrainian armed forces launched drone attacks on St. Petersburg and Leningrad regions, announced governor Alexander Drozdzenko today on the Mak channel and confirmed that 126 unmanned aircraft were flown over that region. - One person was killed in the drone attack on St. Petersburg, announced the governor of the city Alexander Beglov. - Russia continues to conduct retaliatory strikes to reduce the offensive potential of Ukrainian forces, stated Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov, according to RIA Novosti today. - The US has continued to share intelligence with Ukraine, stated President Volodymyr Zelensky. - Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated today that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky does not want to negotiate an end to the conflict and has obstructed them multiple times. - American President Donald Trump stated today that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is not interested in the fact that Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries seriously damage the global diesel fuel market, including the market of the United States.
