Here we are, coming up on Week 100. Sorry for the delay…again…in getting this update out.
There isn’t a lot of new stuff to report, and I’m tired of reporting the same old stuff week after week. Congress is out of town, Brussels is somnolent, and Ukraine still has that unique blend of mud and snow that makes operations difficult.
Russia put on a second display of fireworks on January 2, executing the second-largest missile attack of the war using 95 missiles against the previous record of 122. Among the missiles used were North Korean versions of the Soviet SCUD ballistic missile. As I write this, Ukraine is carrying out missile attacks on a wide range of targets in Occupied Crimea and Russia. None of these attacks will move the needle much.
