Update on Russian operations against Ukraine for October 23, 2022

- Russian missile and drone strikes continue targeting and crippling Ukraine's power grid,

- Ukraine is attempting to target a major dam at Nova Kakhkovka to flood the Dnieper River and disrupt Russian supply lines to Kherson city;

- Western analysts admit Ukraine is in a critical situation and risks being completely cut off from its Western sponsors;

- The US is putting pieces in place to set up a buffer zone in Ukraine to prevent Russian forces from taking western Ukraine and perhaps even Odesa to prevent what's left of Ukraine from becoming landlocked.
