Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 30. April 2022

Angesichts des Wochenendes ein recht sparsamer Sammler zum russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine, 30. April 2022:

• Das britische Intel-Briefing:

Russia hopes to rectify issues that have previously constrained its invasion by geographically concentrating combat power, shortening supply lines and simplifying command and control.
Russia still faces considerable challenges. It has been forced to merge and redeploy depleted and disparate units from the failed advances in north-east Ukraine. Many of these units are likely suffering from weakened morale.
Shortcomings in Russian tactical coordination remain. A lack of unit-level skills and inconsistent air support have left Russia unable to fully leverage its combat mass, despite localised improvements.
