Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for January 30, 2023:

- Russian forces continue encircling Bakhmut in the east and pushing toward Vugladar in the south;

- pro-Ukrainian Western volunteers admit the bleak situation Ukraine faces overall and specifically in Bakhmut;

- one volunteer admits that Wagner is better trained, better equipped, better organized and lead than Ukrainian forces fighting in Bakhmut;

- this volunteers admits Wagner is surrounding and may possibly cut of Bakhmut like in Mariupol;

- this volunteer admits Ukraine suffers from immense corruption and incompetence coupled with Western sponsors indifferent to their growing crisis;

- this volunteer admits that tanks are a "secret acknowledgement that things aren't going well;"

- the volunteer would like to see more Western advisors leading Ukrainian units in battle, a slippery slope toward direct NATO intervention;

- growing skepticism continues to surround pledged Western main battle tanks;

- US policy makers appear to suggest this strategy may be essentially a bluff to convince Russia it is more prepared than Moscow for a long-term conflict;
