Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for May 5, 2022:
* Pentagon assesses that Russia is making "slow and uneven" progress in Donbas,
but progress nonetheless;
* US claims Russia has "failed" to disrupt Ukrainian efforts to replenish and
reinforce its front lines;
* However, this means that Ukraine is throwing its full strength plus everything
the West has given it at Russia and still can't stop Russian forces advancing;
* Pentagon claims US howitzers have already reached the front lines in Donbas;
* Russian forces are likely conducting fixing operations near Kharkov, not
attempting to "take" the city;
* US Javelin missiles do not have a great enough range to be useful in the type
of fighting taking place in Donbas;
* the Ukrainian army built up by the US-NATO over the past 8 years is being
destroyed and cannot be replaced faster than Russia is taking it off the
battlefield;
* Turkey is playing a difficult balancing act between the US-NATO and
Russia-Eurasia;
