Update on the conflict in Ukraine for December 3, 2023…

-.Russian forces continue to make incremental gains along the line of contact including in Marinka, southwest of Donetsk City as well as in Avdeevka outside Donetsk City;

- Ukrainian President Vlodymr Zelensky announces Ukraine is on the defensive, an oblique admission that various Ukrainian offensives have failed and that future offensives are not feasible;

- Continued admissions come from across the West of an inability to ramp up military industrial production and specifically in relation to artillery shell production; ,p. - FPV (first person view) drones are not an adequate replacement for artillery shells, however they have created dilemmas on both sides in regards to anti-access area denial (A2AD) capabilities;

- Because of Ukraine’s ability to acquire even small amounts of artillery shells, FPV drones, and landmines, Russian offensives will require slow, methodical approaches focused on attrition to avoid large numbers of casualties and equipment losses;

- Despite claims that Russia is already suffering such losses because of operations around Avdeevka, pro-Western “Mediazona” shows increased Russian losses, but nowhere near the scale Ukraine’s General Staff are claiming;

always “trust but verify” the content, accuracy, reliability but particularly from this source.

Brian Berletic, aka Tony Cartalucci references of legitimate sourced ‘tidbits’ within his articles. However, without using a balanced geopolitics perspective this creates deceptive “systematic misinformation.”

Kazan: "Despite claims that Russia is already suffering such losses because of operations around Avdeevka, pro-Western “Mediazona” shows increased Russian losses, but nowhere near the scale Ukraine’s General Staff are claiming;"

Ukrainian estimates of Russian daily losses vary daily, from just a few hundred to over 1,000 on some days.
I think these reliably suggest the levels of Russian offensive actions all along the front, with the understanding that the word "losses" could mean killed, seriously wounded or captured.

Ukrainian numbers for Russian losses may also indirectly suggest Ukrainian losses, since Ukrainians claim their own losses are about one-third those of Russians in Russia's "Meat Wave" assaults on fixed Ukrainian positions.
