with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) told the New York Times on

message to Hezbollah during his recent visit to Beirut. The message emphasized
that Khamenei supports “ending the war with Israel” and that Iran will help
Hezbollah recover from the war.

RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENT, NOVEMBER 16, 2024

Nov 16, 2024 - ISW Press

Ukrainian drone operations continue to play a critical role in constraining

Ukraine's ongoing manpower constraints. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
stated during an interview with Ukrainian media published on November 16 that

decreased Ukrainian morale exacerbated by delays in staffing and equipping new
Ukrainian brigades and granting frontline Ukrainian defenders necessary rest and
rotation.

Putin is worried about Russia's economic stability in the long term. The Kremlin
recently adopted several policies that aim to cut Russian government spending on
wounded Russian servicemen, combat inflation, and address long-term demographic
problems such as low birth rates and labor shortages.
