Summary:
Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for September 6, 2022
– While fighting continues around Kherson, it remains positional, signifying the end of Kiev’s long-planned offensive;
– Western sources continue citing factors they believe limit Russian operations consistent with flawed Western thinking regarding Russian military capabilities stretching back to 2014-2015;
– 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;
