Soldiers navigate underground pipelines near Kupiansk in Jerome Starkey's Frontline report, bringing the war's less visible routes into view. The Sun's defense editor moves from drone attacks disrupting Moscow's airports to fighting beneath Kharkiv Oblast, then to the supply routes linking occupied southern Ukraine with Crimea.

That October 23 edition was the most watched of the channel's new uploads this week, approaching a million views. Its oil-industry section draws on Bloomberg reporting about falling profits and rising debt at Rosneft. The distinction matters: the episode examines financial pressure, rather than establishing the bankruptcy suggested by its title.

The Sun posted 29 videos across the week, with Ukraine coverage dominating its most-watched releases. A report on strikes at Voronezh's aircraft manufacturing hub drew a particularly strong opening day. Philip Ingram's newer Battle Plans episode about the Kakhovka reservoir bed now has the channel's strongest daily viewing momentum, followed by an exclusive Volodymyr Zelenskyy interview titled "Zelensky: Why Trump and I don't agree on the path to peace" and another report on strikes against Russian factories.

Across the channel, the week brought roughly 14 million views while subscribers stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is modestly above its usual level. Among nearby news channels, News24 and DW News had larger weekly audiences; The Sun's weekly total was close to The Wall Street Journal's.

For readers catching up with Frontline, the underground footage arrives just over five minutes in, after Starkey's account of airport disruption and the economic effects of strikes on Russian oil infrastructure.
