Sep 6, 2023
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for September 6, 2023

- Western media is attempting to depict small gains in Russia's security zone as "breaching the first defensive line;"

- Ukraine's offensive has culminated, the last of its brigades prepared for the offensive are now engaged and suffering heavy losses;

- Among these losses is a confirmed loss of a British Challenger 2 tank;

- The main obstacle for Ukraine is its Western sponsors' limited military industrial output and their inability to sufficiently expand it in the short, intermediate, or even long-term;
