Ukraine War Update - 14 November 2023
Wagner is back, bad weather, Avdeevka and Lyman hot spots.
Russian Su-25 Attack Aircraft firing near Donetsk
Rough weather. It’s the time of mud in Ukraine. Russians call it "rasputitsa”, Ukrainians “bezdorizhzhya”, basically meaning “without roads”. Wet in zero temperature is the 9th circle of hell, the icy one described in Dante’s poem. But it’s not as Dante intended, for traitors who betrayed their family, country, or lords. Soldiers are simply trying to survive, and one side is betrayed by their lord.
