Russian Ops in Ukraine SITREP for September 14, 2022

 

Escalate or Grind On? Russian Ops in Ukraine 

Update for Russian military operations in Ukraine for September 14, 2022 - Ukraine’s recent offensive in Kherson remains stalled; - Ukraine’s advance into Kharkov took place with an absence of Russian forces present; - Ukraine’s offensive in Kharkov has slowed down as Ukrainian forces meet larger concentrations of Russian and local militia forces; - Russia hitting Ukrainian electrical infrastructure may signal an escalation beyond its special military operation; - Ukraine may still launch yet another offensive operation, but likely toward directions with significantly more Russian troops than Kharkov; - Rumors persist that Russia is receiving drones from Iran and artillery shells and rockets from North Korea - if true it would enable Russia to either increase the intensity of their operation in Ukraine, or extend it for a longer duration;
