The war may end by the summer of 2023,
but in the meantime the situation is not

changing so actively. Kirill Budanov, the head
of Ukrainian intelligence, made this prediction:

"Gradually we will move forward, they will
lose occupied territories. Somewhere they

will continue to strike with their
Iranian Shahid drones and a smaller

number of missiles, because Russia
does not have so many of them left."

In his opinion, the fighting will subside
a bit in the winter because of the weather:

"It makes sense, too, because there will be
physical and geographic problems in the winter,

as they say. We are still waiting for such a
winter, more or less warm, so the ground will

be viscous, and in principle already now wheeled
vehicles on the battlefield almost don't work,

only tracked ones. It will only become more
complicated with the beginning of heavy rains.

The rains are somewhat slowing down the
advance of the defenders in Luhansk Region,

but the Defense Forces continue to advance.

Ukrainians will soon receive good news from the
General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

At the moment the enemy is gradually
leaving the right bank of the Dnieper

and trying to concentrate forces on the
left bank. This is not as active as the

counteroffensive in the Liman direction,
but the enemies are retreating every day.

The other day the British Defense Ministry
published intelligence indicating that the

Russian command is seriously considering a plan
for a large-scale withdrawal of troops from the

Kherson region. The enemy's main problem is the
lack of full-fledged crossings over the Dnieper

River, which were destroyed as a result
of strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to
push back the front line in the Kherson

direction. At the same time, the enemy
is entrenched in defensive lines on the

left bank of the Dnieper, where it
is trying to concentrate its forces.

The Russian army continues to evacuate
from the right bank of the Dnieper,

but this is not happening as quickly as they would
like, as the bridges over the river are destroyed.

The enemy wants to retreat faster, but there are
no bridges. Consequently, it can be said that

the Russian military is leaving the right bank,
concentrating on the defense of the left bank.

They only use alternative crossings
and cannot use full-fledged bridges.

The Russian military continues
informational blackmail, spreading

rumors that the AFU is allegedly planning
to hit Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant.

In fact, the occupiers themselves mined the
critically important facility, firing all

personnel before doing so. How this situation
will end, I suppose we will know very soon.
