Summary:
– 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;
