Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, October 2, 2025

Russian President Vladimir Putin continued to threaten Europe as part of a multi-pronged informational effort to deter the West from responding to hostile Russian actions. Putin claimed on October 2 that Russia is closely monitoring the “militarization” of Europe and explicitly stated that Russia is “listening closely” to Germany regarding remarks that the German military should be the “most powerful in Europe.”[1] Putin claimed that “no one doubts” that Russia's response to Europe's “militarization” will not be “long in coming” and that Russia is evaluating whether Europe's efforts are “just talk” or if Russia must take “countermeasures” that “will be very convincing.” Putin absurdly claimed that Russia has “never initiated a military confrontation” but suggested that competing with Russia militarily would “ultimately end badly for the provocateur.” Putin simultaneously downplayed the threat that Russia poses to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), claiming that European warnings of Russian aggression are “nonsense” and efforts to “whip up hysteria” within Europe. Putin called on European states to “calm down” about Russia and instead focus on domestic issues. Putin is attempting to dissuade European members of NATO from bolstering their own defensive efforts and providing military support for Ukraine, which both oppose Russia's own strategic objectives, by posturing that Russia is only a threat to Europe as long as Europe resists Putin's objectives.

Putin's rhetoric follows the recent Russian and unidentified drone incursions into or within European airspace; Russian aerial overflights in or near European airspace and assets in violation of international safety norms; and Russian hybrid and sabotage operations against NATO military facilities and logistics.[2] Russia also aims to sow discord and fear within Europe through hybrid operations, including within Poland, Germany, and Lithuania.[3] Putin made these remarks during his annual speech at the Valdai Club, an international discussion forum where Kremlin officials, Russian scholars, and foreign officials and scholars meet to discuss international issues. The Valdai Club has served as a useful tool in the Kremlin's decades-long efforts to influence Western policy in Russia's favor.[4] Putin likely aimed to use his Valdai Club address as the venue for these remarks to ensure that his various informational efforts, including those targeting Europe, reach a broader audience and cumulatively achieve his desired effect: persuade the West against supporting Ukraine or protecting itself from Russia.

Putin attempted to discourage the United States from selling Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine by downplaying their effectiveness and indirectly threatening the United States. Putin warned the United States against selling Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, calling the missiles “powerful” and “threatening.”[5] Putin noted Ukraine cannot operate Tomahawk missiles without the “direct participation of American military personnel” and that Ukraine's use would mark a “new stage of escalation.” Putin also downplayed the Tomahawk missiles as “not entirely modern” and noted that the provision of these missiles to Ukraine “will not change the balance of power on the battlefield.”[6] ISW continues to assess that Ukraine has an operational requirement to strike important military infrastructure protected in Russia's rear.[7]

Putin is attempting to exaggerate Russian advances in Ukraine to support the Kremlin's false narrative that a Russian victory in Ukraine is inevitable. Putin claimed on October 2 that Russian forces have seized two-thirds of Kupyansk.[8] ISW assesses that Russian forces have seized only 14 percent of Kupyansk as of October 2, and that Putin is exaggerating Russian gains in Kupyansk. Russian Chief of the General Staff Army General Valery Gerasimov claimed on August 30 that Russian forces seized roughly 50 percent of Kupyansk, which ISW also assessed was an exaggeration of Russian gains in Kupyansk.[9] The Kremlin has been attempting to use large amounts of quantitative data to create the false impression that Russian forces are rapidly advancing on the battlefield.[10] Putin's October 2 statements are a continuation of the ongoing Kremlin effort to hyperfocus on and exaggerate tactical Russian gains to falsely portray Russia as making rapid advances on the battlefield and to provide Russia with an informational victory in the war.[11] Putin is trying to convince the United States, Europe, and Ukraine that Russia will inevitably achieve its war goals militarily, such that Ukraine should concede to Russian demands and the West should therefore cease its support of Ukraine.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that US President Donald Trump approved intelligence sharing with Ukraine for long-range strikes against legitimate military targets within Russia. WSJ reported on October 1, citing unnamed US officials, that Trump recently approved US intelligence agencies and the Pentagon to share intelligence with Ukraine for long-range strikes against energy infrastructure within Russia, and that the US is asking NATO allies to provide similar intelligence support.[12] It is currently unclear if this approval also extends to military targets within Russia. The US officials stated that the US is considering providing Tomahawk missiles, Barracuda missiles, or other ground- and air-launched missiles with ranges of roughly 500 miles, cohering with prior reports that the Trump administration was considering selling Tomahawks to Ukraine.[13]

To mitigate domestic panic over Ukraine's long-range strike campaign against Russian oil refineries, Russian officials attempted to downplay the reported US decision to increase intelligence sharing with Ukraine. Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on October 2 that US intelligence sharing with Ukraine is “not an innovation.”[14] Peskov also claimed that no weapon will be a “magic pill” for Ukraine.[15] Russian State Duma Defense Committee Member Andrei Kolesnik also claimed that the US has already been providing Ukraine with intelligence for long-range strikes.[16] Russian officials are likely attempting to avoid inflaming panic within Russian society, given that Ukraine's strikes against oil refineries have spurred recent gasoline shortages.[17]

Russian military intelligence is likely conducting hybrid operations in Poland, Germany, and Lithuania to sow fear and discord within NATO states, following indications of a possible future Russian false-flag operation within Poland. Polish media, citing sources associated with the Polish Internal Security Agency (ABW) and Polish General Prosecutor's Office, reported on October 2 that the Russian General Staff's Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) may have orchestrated planned drone strikes within Poland, Germany, and Lithuania.[18] The ABW detained an alleged courier whom the GRU reportedly recruited on Telegram for transporting explosives in cans for food products, drone parts, and SIM cards between Lithuania, Poland, and Germany. Lithuanian authorities also discovered a cache of explosive-filled cans in a cemetery in Kaunas, and the GRU reportedly intended for actors to use the drones to drop the explosive-filled cans for the strikes. The ABW stated that it is still investigating the people and events. ISW previously assessed that Russia and Belarus may conduct special forces sabotage operations against critical infrastructure in Poland and launch additional drone incursions and blame Ukraine.[19]

Ukraine and Russia conducted another prisoner of war (POW) exchange in accordance with agreements reached during the June 2 bilateral negotiations in Istanbul. The Ukrainian Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of POWs and the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) reported on October 2 that Ukraine received 185 Ukrainian POWs and 20 Ukrainian civilians and that Russia received 185 POWs and 20 Russian civilians.[20]

A saying often attributed to Stalin
One death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic

Appreciate pitin’s condolences, but it is hollow in context to his actions

Since the Ukrainian oblasts have been recognized as Russian territory by Russian law, can’t the conscripts be sent there?
Regardless never saw a law the Russians really cared about or couldn’t change in a dime

Pitin loves spending Russian tax dollars and lives on his ego trip, would say newscum and pitin are two peas in a pod

Day 1,316 of the Muscovian invasion. 970 [average is 845/day], i.e. more than 40 Russians and Norks/h.

Note some adjustments of total numbers:
Vehicles & Fuel Tanks decrease -22
Artillery Systems increase +64
UAVs decrease -3
MLRS increase +6
Cruise Missiles increase +3
Anti-Aircraft Systems decrease -2
Special Equipment decrease -9

“Since the Ukrainian oblasts have been recognized as Russian territory by Russian law, can’t the conscripts be sent there?”

My understanding is that they legally can be, but that they are typically protected within Russia proper, or in the rear within the occupied territories, due to political sensitivities.

Kyiv Independent (3 Oct):

“Ukrainian drones attacked the Orsknefteorgsintez oil refinery in Russia’s Orenburg Oblast on Oct. 3, a source in Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) told the Kyiv Independent.

The facility lies about 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) from Ukraine-controlled territory.

Founded in 1935, Orsknefteorgsintez is one of the oldest and largest refineries in the southern Urals, with an annual capacity of 6.6 million tons of crude oil.

Regional Governor Evgeny Solntsev confirmed the attack but claimed operations at the refinery were not disrupted. He said emergency services were working at the site.”

Would be surprised if that holds, more meat is needed
