ORIKHIV, Ukraine—Only three people remain in a nine-story block of 146 apartments in this front-line city of southern Ukraine. For the past several months, they have been living in a basement, using a small generator because daily Russian shelling has long disrupted electric supplies to Orikhiv. Despite all that, Vitaliy Pilyay, one of the basement’s three dwellers, was in a good mood on a recent day. Ukrainian forces are preparing a counteroffensive, possibly aiming to oust Russia from this part of the country, and he said he was confident that the end of Orikhiv’s yearlong ordeal is near.

KRAMATORSK, Ukraine—Exhausted by winter combat that has resulted in heavy casualties but few significant changes to the front line, Ukraine and Russia are preparing for spring offensives that both sides hope will shift the course of the war. As the muddy ground dries up, unpaved roads and fields will become passable again in the coming weeks, first in Ukraine’s south and then in the east, enabling both countries’ militaries to attempt breakthroughs with mobile mechanized units.

SLOVYANSK, Ukraine—Russia launched a new wave of drones at Ukraine, most of which were shot down, as fighters from Russia’s Wagner paramilitary organization pressed their slow and grinding advance into the eastern city of Bakhmut. Ukrainian air defenses shot down 13 out of the 15 Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones that flew toward Ukrainian cities overnight, the country’s air force said Monday. It didn’t specify what the remaining two drones hit, but there were no reports of disruption to infrastructure.

CHASIV YAR, Ukraine—Shielded by a small hill from Russian positions a half-mile away, a Ukrainian soldier spotted via drone feed a new foxhole that appeared overnight northwest of the embattled city of Bakhmut. Three troopers of Russia’s Wagner paramilitary organization had crawled through no man’s land to establish a firing position, likely for a grenade launcher. The drone’s camera zoomed to Russian trenches behind.

As Russia’s war in Ukraine moves into another year, the next few months will provide critical clues as to whether Moscow’s forces will be able to halt or even reverse the momentum gained by Ukrainian troops on the battlefield. With the end of the campaign still looking a long way off, here are six big factors that will influence the trajectory of the war in the early months of 2023. The WeatherIt is still the season of mud in Ukraine. Temperatures have dropped below freezing but haven’t stayed low for long enough to harden the ground. Across much of the front line dividing Russian and Ukrainian forces, the tempo of the conflict has slowed.

Yevgeny Chavelyuk recalls receiving a phone call in October telling him to report for duty in Cherepovets, north of Moscow, where he was working at steelmaker Severstal. Within days he was transferred to a military base in Nizhny Novgorod, east of the capital, where he said training mainly consisted of standing for hours on the parade grounds and learning to make a bed. Soon after, he said, his unit was on its way to what they were told would be further training in the Belgorod region near Ukraine, but he said he knew he had already crossed the border when he got out of his transport vehicle for a cigarette break.

BAKHMUT, Ukraine—Russian shells slammed closer and closer as Ludmyla Bondarenko and Zoya Shilkova, clad in fur coats atop layers of clothing, sat on a bench outside their apartment block, chatting and getting some fresh air on a frigid afternoon in what remains of this eastern Ukrainian city. At an intersection nearby, Ukrainian troops used a crane to emplace concrete slabs, fortifying the neighborhood. Three freshly arrived tanks roared by, blue-and-yellow flags fluttering from their turrets. A distant staccato of machine-gun fire could be heard amid the thumps of artillery.

KHERSON, Ukraine—Like many of her neighbors, Yanina Deychenko was thrilled when Ukrainian forces returned to Kherson on Nov. 11, ending a nine-month Russian occupation. But the Russians didn’t go very far. Operating from positions just across the wide Dnipro River, they have started to shell Kherson’s residential neighborhoods, inflicting in recent days the worst damage that the southern city has suffered since the war began.

SHEVCHENKOVE, Ukraine—When Russian armored columns drove into this rural community of 20,000 people on the first day of the invasion, Mayor Valeriy Prykhodko tried to count the tanks, artillery pieces and fighting vehicles that rolled past his windows. After the first few hundred, he gave up. “It was too big for counting,” Mr. Prykhodko said. “The horror.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in July that during the peak of the fighting Ukraine was losing as many as 100 to 200 troops a day. Mr. Zelensky said more-recent fatalities have dropped to about 30 a day, with some 250 wounded.

VOVCHANSK, Ukraine—The Russian interrogators left behind some tools of their trade at the sprawling machine-parts plant in this recently liberated city a few miles from the Russian border. In a building that served as a detention camp, there are two rubber truncheons that former inmates say were used to beat them on the back. There is a wooden pole that was used to hit them on the calves. And there is a high-voltage panel, decorated with the Z and the V markings of the Russian invasion, which delivered electric shocks to detainees. Replicas of Soviet World War II-era posters still hang above it.

RUBTSY, Ukraine—The Ukrainian military offensive that ousted Russian troops from the Kharkiv region early this month has now crossed deep into the northern part of the nearby Donetsk region, increasingly threatening Russian control over lands that Moscow seeks to annex as sovereign territory in coming days. Here in Rubtsy, a village in Donetsk that Russia captured in late April, advancing Ukrainian forces stream east past burned-out carcasses of Russian tanks and the bloated bodies of Russian soldiers that remain on roadsides. Trophy pieces of Russian armor are being towed in the opposite way, to be repaired and reused.

KUPYANSK, Ukraine—The grain elevator towering over the eastern edge of Kupyansk, the former seat of Russian power in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, was supposed to be defended by soldiers from an elite Russian unit. But when troops from Ukraine’s International Legion moved to seize the compound on Thursday, part of the developing Ukrainian military offensive east of the Oskil River, the expected firefight never happened.
