Russia-Ukraine Update: Crimean Bridge Traffic Resumes, Ukraine's
Growing Arms/Ammo Crisis
Oct 9, 2022 Crimean Bridge is back in operation, further repairs are required but road and rail
traffic resumes;
- Western media notes the US is out of
ammunition to send Ukraine and that US allies have even less;
- Nations like France have reached the limits
of what they can send in terms of heavy weapons;
- Regional weather and subsequent mud is
limiting the mobility of ground forces on both sides, giving the advantage to
Russia which possess a larger air force, more drones, and long-range weapons
indifferent to ground conditions;
- Ukrainian forces are losing ground in
Bakhmut, indicating Ukrainian forces are already overextended, a situation that will only worsen in time;
- Russian forces are preserving their men and
equipment and will soon be reinforced by an additional 300,000 troops.
