The situation in the Kurakhovsky and Pokrovsky directions remained the hottest.
The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to conduct an operation in the Kursk region, where 19 strikes by 20 Russian guided air bombs have now been carried out.
More details on the operational situation as of the evening of October 30 are in the news.
President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about the reasons for the start of the Kursk operation. According to him, when intelligence received information about the Russians preparing an offensive on Kharkov, Kyiv asked its partners to help with long-range weapons to stop it. The allies were informed that it was necessary to destroy Russian assets on its territory, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with Northern European media. But the partners did not give such permission.
That's why Ukraine had to fight the occupiers already on the territory of the Kharkov region. The Russians were able to destroy some lines, but they were stopped. And after that, information appeared that they were also going to do in the north. Putin said this publicly: that he wanted to create “buffer zones” there. And no one answered Putin.
“A buffer zone across our north, east, our entire territory. What does this mean? He said publicly 10-30 kilometers of our territory. This is hundreds of villages and towns. When we realized that no one would give us long-range weapons, and they were destroying us from their territory in order to create a buffer zone in the north, of course, we decided to go to Kursk to create something similar to a buffer zone on their territory,” the president said.

A UN Security Council meeting will be held on October 30 due to the involvement of the DPRK military in the war in our country.
As reported by the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Serhiy Kyslytsya, Ukraine addressed the Swiss presidency with a corresponding request.
“Today, in connection with Ukraine's appeal to the Swiss presidency of the UN Security Council, a meeting of the Council on the deployment of North Korean troops will be held – the start is approximately after 22:15 Kyiv time,” Kyslytsya wrote on his page on the social network H.
Ukraine has completed all the steps that the European Commission listed in the 2022 conclusion on granting our country the status of a candidate for EU membership.
This is evidenced by the draft report of the European Commission on Ukraine, writes “European Pravda”.
The document noted the efforts of our state on the rights of national minorities – this concerns the adoption of the law on national minorities, adopted in December last year. Hungary, however, considers Ukraine's progress in this matter insufficient.
The European Commission noted that “restrictions on fundamental rights related to martial law remain generally proportionate.”
The EC emphasized that, despite the progress in fundamental reforms, “further efforts are needed.”
