Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for February 22, 2023:
- Russian forces continue encircling Bakhmut, moving outward from Kremenna, and pressuring Vugladar;
- US President Joe Biden arrived in Kiev, Ukraine with little else but rhetoric;
- the most recent US military assistance package to Ukraine is meager with many items omitting the quantity being sent;
- US analysts believe Russia’s winter offensive already began, that it is underwhelming, and will exhaust Russian combat potential giving Ukraine better chances of success for its own spring offensive;
- More likely ...Russia is conducting theater-wide spoiling operations to deny Ukraine a pause to put together significant offensive forces;
- Russian General S. Surovikin prepared extensive defenses to blunt Ukraine’s offensive;
