The Fall | The Russians Breakthrough North Of Avdiivka | Wagner Is Back. Military Summary 2023.10.10

The cauldron tactic is commonly used by the Russians and the Ukrainians keep playing along. The other thing the Russians do is defend in depth with a mobile defense along broad sectors of the front, making use of the terrain and taking advantage of their superiority in heavy weapons plus drones. The Ukrainian offensive at the moment is going backwards. The Russians appear to be advancing in many locations. Meanwhile the mainstream media was recently reporting slow but steady progress of the Ukrainian Army. The media did not fully inform the public that the Ukrainian 'progress' came with massive casualties.  

The latest news, see below, is that the Russian offensive moves are in flux. We do not know the outcome yet, but they have been taking some losses.
