Russian Missile Strikes, New Defenses, & Fighting into 2023

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for December 30, 2022: - Russia conducts what may be the largest missile strike so far during the special military operation; - Ukraine’s power grid continues to be degraded; - Fighting continues around Bakhmut; - Western analysts insist Russian fighting around Bakhmut is “senseless“ but it suits Russia’s strategy of attrition; - Russia is also building extensive defensive structures across the line of contact; - These lines force Ukrainian offensive troops to spend more time in well-prepared fields of fire resulting in major casualties; - Russia appears to be settling into a protracted war of attrition while protecting its lines with these major defensive works.
