In the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, both nations have adopted different strategies. Russia has been targeting Ukraine's infrastructure and key cities, while Ukraine has been focusing on defending its territory and people. On October 10, 2022, Russia's Security Council held a meeting to discuss the situation in Ukraine. The meeting was held amidst reports of further attacks on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The plant, which is the largest in Europe, has been hit multiple times since the conflict began.

In a separate incident, a fuel tank fire was reported on the Kerch Bridge in Crimea on October 8, 2022. The bridge, which is a vital transport link between Russia and Crimea, was reportedly targeted by Ukrainian forces. However, no official confirmation has been provided by either side.

In the eastern part of Ukraine, Russia has been launching attacks on key cities. The city of Donetsk, which is a major industrial and cultural hub, has been under constant attack. The city's infrastructure, including its airport and railway station, has been severely damaged. The attacks have resulted in a significant number of civilian casualties and have forced many residents to flee their homes.

The escalation of the conflict has raised concerns about the potential for further damage to Ukraine's infrastructure and the impact on its people. The international community has been closely monitoring the situation and has called for an end to the violence.
