Desperate Russian Push to Defend Warsaw Amid Tanked Fortifications
London dispatches report optimistic whispers of a Russian campaign to defend Warsaw, center of a 160 mile fortification ring. Fighting between the Vistula and Bug rivers is described as desperate as German efforts press along the Warsaw apex, with marshy terrain likely draining German resources and raising costs for victory. Germany’s assault west of the Moselle shows limited gains amid preparations for another push. Russia apologizes to Sweden for a Baltic incident involving a German mine layer after shelling near Gotland.
