Update on the conflict in Ukraine for September 6, 2023
– Western media is attempting to depict small gains in Russia’s security zone as “breaching the first defensive line;”
– Ukraine’s offensive has culminated, the last of its brigades prepared for the offensive are now engaged and suffering heavy losses;
– Among these losses is a confirmed loss of a British Challenger 2 tank;
– The main obstacle for Ukraine is its Western sponsors’ limited military industrial output and their inability to sufficiently expand it in the short, intermediate, or even long-term;
