In the video dedicated to July - the 5th month of the war, we talked about the arrival of the HIMARS systems which strengthened Ukrainian positions and changed the war (   • How HIMARS Changed the War in Ukraine...  ), while this video will focus on the events of August, as we will see how Russian logistics and manpower problems were worsened by the HIMARS strikes, the risk and intrigue around the Zaporizhia (Enerhodar) Nuclear Powerplant and the long expected beginning of the Ukrainian counter-offensive in Kherson (   • Kherson Counter-Offensive Begins! Rus...  ).

In the second half of November, winter took over, making the military operation more difficult (   • Winter Takes Over - Russian Invasion ...  ), while in the first half of December, the stalemate continued (   • December Stalemate - Russian Invasion...  ). In the second half of December and first half of January, Russia advanced around Bakhmut, taking Soledar (   • Russian Advance Around Bakhmut - Russ...  ), while in the second half of January, Russian regained initiative counterattacking on the Kreminna axis and gaining ground around Bakhmut, while the West announced that Ukraine will finally receive Leopard 2, Challenger 2 and Abrams tanks alongside more armoured vehicles (   • Russia Regains Initiative, Western Ta...  ). Next we will talk about the possible Russian attack vectors and deduce what is the Russian plan for winter and spring of 2023 (   • What is the Russian Attack Plan - Rus...  ). In the first half of February, Russia continued advancing around Bakhmut, but its Vuhledar attack ended in a disaster (   • Bakhmut Crisis, Russian Vuhledar Disa...  ), while in the second half the battles around Bakhmut continued and it continued to hold (   • Bakhmut Holds - Chinese Plan - Russia...  ).
