    Update on the conflict in Ukraine for July 3, 2023:

    * Ukraine's offensive reaches the 1 month mark and has made relatively little
    progress beyond the security zones ahead of Russia's main defenses;

    * This is mainly owed to Russian mine fields and Ukraine's inability to clear
    them while under fire;

    * Ukraine's artillery shell supply is limited, the longer the offensive takes,
    the less ammunition Ukraine will have to support and exploit any breakthroughs
    that do occur;

    * Mounting Ukrainian losses mean that any achievements made during the offensive
    will be difficult to consolidate no matter where on the map the offensive
    ends;

    * Unable to breach Russian defenses, Ukraine and its NATO sponsors appear to be
    exploring "alternative" options to change battlefield dynamics including
    continued attempts to accuse Russia of planning to destroy the Zaporozhye
    nuclear power plant;
