    Update on the conflict in Ukraine for July 31, 2023

    * Ukraine's "big push" over the past week has resulted in minimum gains and
    massive losses;

    * Ukraine's "big push" followed weeks of exercising an alleged "artillery
    advantage" used to soften Russian defenses;

    * Western analysts used the same flawed process to assess Ukraine's artillery
    capabilities they used to assess the supposed likelihood NATO armor would cut
    through Russian defenses;

    * The US rushing M1 Abrams main battle tanks to Ukraine by fall will make no
    difference on the battlefield, they are too few in number and no more capable
    than the German Leopard 2 tanks Ukraine has used in a so-far failed offensive;

    * Russian defenses are layered specifically to absorb Ukrainian advances and
    preserve Russian manpower and equipment as they move back to successive lines
    of defenses;

    * Ukraine's attempt to gain territory amid a war of attrition is only
    accelerating its own defeat;

    * A German army report blaming Ukrainian soldiers for the poor outcomes of the
    offensive is an unfair attempt to shift blame away from NATO;
