In this concise update on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kings and Generals delve into three pivotal areas: the Avdiivka front, the Dnipro River crossing, and the recent arrival of ATACMS missiles.

In the Avdiivka sector, Russia persists in its offensive operations, despite initial setbacks. Ukrainian forces successfully defended against a Russian assault from October 10-14, inflicting substantial losses on the Russian army. However, the Russian army continues its efforts to gain ground in the region.

On the Dnipro River, Ukraine has managed to establish a bridgehead on the left bank near the Antonivskyi bridge. While Russian forces have been countering these attempts, Ukraine's success in creating a sustainable bridgehead could force Russia to divert reserves from other fronts.

A significant development in the conflict is the arrival of ATACMS long-range missiles in Ukraine. After months of negotiations, these missiles, although in limited numbers, have already had a substantial impact. Ukraine launched ATACMS missiles on Russian airfields, causing significant damage to Russian air assets.

Foreign military support continues, with Western nations providing aid to Ukraine. However, the level of support has decreased recently. Other countries, including Germany, Croatia, and Denmark, have increased their assistance with various military equipment and resources.

The Ukraine conflict continues as a brutal and unprovoked invasion by Russia now spans 20 months. Both sides engage in a prolonged war of attrition, with Ukraine reliant on foreign military aid, while Western support remains a complex and evolving issue. The conflict's toll is evident in significant losses on both sides.
