Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on modern warfare continues with another video on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine with the updates of October 2025. October 2025 saw new highs and lows in both the Trump–Putin relationship and the war in Ukraine. In this episode, we track Russia’s grinding advances around Pokrovsk, Myrnohrad, Kupiansk, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia, as well as the renewed pressure on Kherson and the Kharkiv border. We examine how Russian tactics are shifting from costly mass assaults to small-unit infiltration, and what Ukraine’s manpower shortages and drone warfare mean for defensive lines. Beyond the front, we look at staggering casualty estimates, Moscow’s recruitment crisis, and Ukraine’s long-range drone and missile campaign against Russian oil infrastructure. We also cover Trump’s latest swings between support for Kyiv and overtures to Putin, US sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil, European and Canadian aid packages, and Sweden’s planned delivery of JAS 39 Gripen jets. Finally, we place these October developments in the wider context of a war now approaching its fourth year, assessing how much Russia has paid in equipment and lives, and how Ukraine continues to resist.
