Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for September 10, 2022
– Ukraine continues its offensive around the Kharkov region after its Kherson offensive failed at great cost in lives and equipment;
– Tactical gains by Ukraine in Kharkov are also coming at great cost in lives and equipment and will leave Ukrainian forces in ultimately a weaker position than when they began;
– Russian withdrawals are tactical, focusing on long-term victory rather than daily headlines;
– Russia has repeatedly conserved manpower and equipment in the face of Ukrainian surges to later reform lines and counter attack on their own terms;
– The correlation of forces continues to favor Russia;
