More weapons and ammo to Ukraine along with other allies pouring shit in. The plan must be to finish off the Russians ASAP and drive them from Ukraine, fuck Vlad. When you consider what the Ukrainians have done with what little they have received, though timely and very effective, and the additional steadily increasing well-trained troops with these new arms should tip the balance on the battlefield even more.
Much will depend on conditions, what kind of winter will it be hard or mild and what will the ground be like especially in the south where it is generally drier and sandier.
Perhaps another reason for this might be losing the house in November, load them up.

Welcome to Ukraine for the new Russian conscripts as their officers are wiped out. To be a Russian officer is to be a war criminal or closely associated with them, support and enable them.

Uncle Sam and the EU no doubt want UN mediation and peace, Russia probably wanted something else and was most likely behind a lot of this shit. If you are a member of the EU or a candidate, then borders become less important, and minority rights are guaranteed. Border disputes are difficult to fight over inside the EU or US with overarching governmental authority.
Peace between these two also means additional oil for Turkey and Europe with new pipelines, even across the Caspian Sea and that would mean money for both of them in transit fees and sales.

Ukraine update: [UPDATED HEADLINE] Ukraine launches major new Kherson offensive
UPDATE: Saturday, Oct 15, 2022 · 7:28:58 AM +00:00 · kos Russian Telegram sources now reporting on the new Kherson offensive, with Mylove a major target of the advance, but pressure on the entire line. UPDATE: Saturday, Oct 15, 2022 · 7:20:41 AM +00:00...

Down in Kherson, the lines haven’t moved much in a while. The Russian puppet mayor of Kherson announced an “evacuation” of the city on Thursday, then Friday said “nevermind,” so not sure what he’s so panicked about. We’re in that place again where Ukraine isn’t saying much, and Russian Telegram isn’t panicked. They need to be properly panicked to tell the truth, otherwise they just invent glorious victories to sustain themselves.
Though it turns out, even that isn’t enough for the Russian authorities. From pro-Russian Telegram:
Rybar has confirmed the news. The inclusion of GreyZone is interesting, as that is the Telegram outlet for Wagner mercenaries. There have been persistent rumors of a rift between Wagner CEO Yevgeny Prigozhin, “Putin’s Chef,” and other Russian elites like Minister of Defense Sergey Shoigu (who somehow still hasn’t been thrown out a window). Throwing GreyZone in a group including other stalwart Russian nationalists would be great cover for any effort to discredit Wagner and Prighozhin.

Putin Says No Need For Further Massive Air Strikes On Ukraine, Foresees End To Mobilization
Nearly eight months into his war against Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be striking a softer tone, saying he sees no need for continued massive air strikes and that a mobilization of troops to support his military operation will end in two weeks.
Russia hits Kyiv power facility, Ukrainian officials say
A Russian missile strike hit a power facility in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Saturday, jeopardizing the city’s energy supply.
“After an insidious shelling of an energy infrastructure facility in the Kyiv region, we have serious consequences, but they can be minimized,” wrote Kyiv Oblast Gov. Oleksiy Kuleba and Deputy Head of the President’s Office Kyrylo Tymoshenko on Telegram.
The two leaders encouraged residents of the Kyiv region to reduce their energy consumption, particularly during peak hours.
“All that is necessary is to approach electricity consumption as rationally as possible today,” they wrote. “Please limit the use of electricity as much as possible today from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. And everything will be fine.”
The officials said that Kyiv residents might have to use candles to light their homes and “suffer all the consequences associated with the lack of electricity” if they fail to follow energy guidelines in the wake of the strike.
Ukrainian troops defended Kyiv in April, beating back Russian forces from the area. The country’s military have since executed a lightening against the Russian military over the past month, claiming a succession of victories in the southern and eastern parts of Ukraine.
The shelling comes after an explosion downed a bridge connecting Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, a major supply link for the aggressor.
Russia has since blamed Ukraine for the explosion and retaliated by striking a number of cities including Kyiv.
Tymoshenko also called on residents of the Zhytomyr, Cherkasy and Chernihiv regions, which all border Kyiv, to limit their electricity consumption.
The shelling did not injure or kill any residents of the Kyiv region despite its damage of the power facility, according to Kuleba.

I think this is a two-fold win for Germany. They can draw down stockpiles of current armament & replenish those stores with more up-to-date gear across the board - and they can (will) begin by sending the culls from current stock to Ukraine. I think this goes hand-in-hand with a report I read that Germany would be sending *MORE* MRLS & tanks than they had announced days before - and this came out *after* Germany announced its plan to upgrade their national defense, so I consider it a done deal. It is a trifle risky for them to begin delisting their own armaments for transfer to Ukraine at a time of such unrest, but it’s a reasonable call to make, and could show a willingness to trust the EU and NATO that would be a very good sign (IMO) for the future.
Potential downstream benefits would be a tighter sense of trust and cooperation among NATO, and an increase in standardization of gear and control systems, software integration…which would all go a long way toward integrating the lessons (so far) of the current situation.

The State Duma set a condition for a gas hub in Turkey
The main condition for the construction of a gas hub in Turkey should be the cessation of supplies of Bayraktars and other weapons to Ukraine. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy Mikhail Delyagin in a conversation with URA.RU.
“The benefit [from the construction of the gas hub] will no longer be Germany, but Turkey, and this will be our great gift. With that in mind, it would be interesting to see what we get in return. At least, there is hope that we will no longer see Turkish equipment (Bayraktars and not only) in the Ukrainian army. This should be the initial condition for any negotiations,” Delyagin said.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed to his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan to build a gas hub in Turkey . He came to this decision because of the sabotage at the Nord Stream, which he called a terrorist attack . Later, the heads of state instructed their delegations to conduct a joint study, after which, according to the Turkish leader, Russia and Turkey will establish an international gas distribution center as soon as possible.
The governor of Sevastopol explained the explosions over the city. Video
In Sevastopol, the air defense system (air defense) is operating in the training mode in the area of the Cossack Bay. This was stated by the governor of the city Mikhail Razvozhaev.
“Air defense is operating in Kazachka in training mode. Please do not shoot or post videos. Please remain calm,” Razvozhaev wrote on Telegram.
Earlier, eyewitnesses reported explosions in the sky over Sevastopol on October 15. The air defense process was caught on video.
A day earlier, air defense was working in Belgorod: the city was shelled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Some residents were left without electricity. Later, the power supply was restored, 360 TV channel reports .
