Summary:
Update on Russian military operations in and around Ukraine for October 29, 2022
– Front lines have stabilized as Ukraine’s offensive momentum grinds into positional fighting;
– Russian forces are preparing the defense of Kherson and likely only to give up the city if something goes wrong;
– Ukrainian and Russian forces were until recently both overstretched. Russia is mobilizing 300,000 additional troops, Ukraine cannot;
