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, Russians regained initiative on the Kreminna axis and gained ground around Bakhmut, while the West announced that Ukraine will finally receive tanks alongside more armoured vehicles (   • Russia Regains Initiative, Western Ta...  ). Next we talked about the possible Russian attack vectors and deduced what is the Russian plan for winter 2023 is (   • 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 battle of Bakhmut continued (   • Bakhmut Holds - Chinese Plan - Russia...  ).
