Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for September 6, 2022

– Elements of Ukraine’s Kherson offensive appear inspired by lessons “learned” from fighting in the Donbass in 2014-2015;

– Fighting around Kherson depends on pontoon bridges on both sides, affording neither a clear advantage in terms of the means of logistics;

– Ukrainians involved in the “offensive” note they do not have the armor, artillery, or airpower to succeed;
