    Berletic: Russian Missile Strikes, New Defenses, & Fighting into 2023 Archived Message

    Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for December 30, 2022:

    * Russia conducts what may be the largest missile strike so far during the
    special military operation;

    * Ukraine's power grid continues to be degraded;

    * Fighting continues around Bakhmut;

    * Western analysts insist Russian fighting around Bakhmut is "senseless" but it
    suits Russia's strategy of attrition;

    * Russia is also building extensive defensive structures across the line of
    contact;

    * These lines force Ukrainian offensive troops to spend more time in
    well-prepared fields of fire resulting in major casualties;

    * Russia appears to be settling into a protracted war of attrition while
    protecting its lines with these major defensive works.
