Background:

• On 1 October, the Deepstate project reported that the Russian army had occupied the town of Vuhledar in Donetsk Oblast.
• Analysts from the Institute for the Study of War stated that the occupation of Vuhledar is unlikely to significantly alter the course of offensive operations in western Donetsk Oblast, as the city is not a particularly important logistical hub.
