it Ends

Oct 5, 2022 Update on Russian operations in Ukraine for October 5, 2022 -
Latest US aid package falls far short of replacing steep Ukrainian losses amid
continued offensives; - Ukraine’s offensive has limited capabilities, will not
achieve “victory” over Russian forces in territory deemed “Ukrainian” by Kiev;
- Ukrainian offensive is an “all-or-nothing” proposition, hoping to achieve
psychological and political gains toward ending the conflict in ways Ukrainian
military force cannot; - Western analysts celebrate the psychological impact
the offensive is having on pro-Russian media, pundits, and even prominent
members of Russian society; - In reality, Ukraine will be left overextended and
vulnerable just as Russia’s 300,000-strong mobilization begins shaping the
battlefield.
