Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 4. April 2022 (Update)
Die Kriegsverbrechen in Bucha und vermutlich auch weiteren Orten in der Ukraine bestimmen möglicherweise den Umgang des Westens mit dem russischen Angriffskrieg – militärisch sind sie zunächst nicht von Bedeutung. Während der russische Druck auf die Hauptstadt Kiew nachgelassen hat, halten die Kämpfe im Osten des Landes an. Der Sammler am 4. April 2022 (nicht 2020!):

• Update: Deutschland hat, wie zuvor schon andere europäische Staaten, zahlreiche in Deutschland akkreditierte russische Diplomaten ausgewiesen. 40 Diplomaten der russischen Botschaft in Berlin, die als Angehörige russischer Nachrichtendienste eingestuft werden, müssen innerhalb von fünf Tagen das Land verlassen.
Das Statement von Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock:
Die Bilder aus Butscha zeugen von einer unglaublichen Brutalität der russischen Führung und derer, die seiner Propaganda folgen, von einem Vernichtungswillen, der über alle Grenzen hinweggeht. Ähnliche Bilder müssen wir noch aus vielen anderen Orten befürchten, die russische Truppen in der Ukraine besetzt haben.
Dieser Unmenschlichkeit müssen wir die Stärke unserer Freiheit und unserer Menschlichkeit entgegensetzen. Dabei muss aber auch klar sein, dass wir für unsere Freiheit einstehen und bereit sein müssen, sie zu verteidigen.
Die Bundesregierung hat daher heute entschieden, eine erhebliche Zahl von Angehörigen der russischen Botschaft zu unerwünschten Personen zu erklären, die hier in Deutschland jeden Tag gegen unsere Freiheit, gegen den Zusammenhalt unserer Gesellschaft gearbeitet haben. Ihre Arbeit ist eine Bedrohung für diejenigen, die bei uns Schutz suchen. Dies werden wir nicht weiter dulden. Das haben wir dem Botschafter Russlands heute Nachmittag mitgeteilt.
Weitere Reaktionen bringen wir gemeinsam mit unseren Partnern auf den Weg. Wir werden die bestehenden Sanktionen gegen Russland weiter verschärfen, wir werden unsere Unterstützung der ukrainischen Streitkräfte entschieden ausbauen und auch die östliche Flanke der NATO stärken.
• Das Abendbriefing des ukrainischen Generalstabs, mit neuen Angaben zu russischen Verlusten:
A russian enemy continues to suffer losses in the course of full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine. During the whole russian-Ukrainian war, from February 24, 2022 year, representatives of the military command of the armed forces of a russian federation only twice announced the loss of personnel of a russian troops fighting in Ukraine.
Despite the so-called „official“ russian number of casualties, the losses of individual units and subdivisions of the russain occupiers are periodically known. According to available information, the losses of the 20th Motorized Rifle Division (Kamyshin, Volgograd Region) of the 8th All-Military Army of the Southern Military District, in particular: the 33rd, 255th, 294th Motorized Rifle Regiments, which returned to their permanent locations, amounted to 40% of personnel, weapons and military equipment. As a result, a significant number of servicemen who were lucky enough to return are trying to retire.
The existing military medical facilities in russia and belarus do not allow for the treatment of such a significant number of wounded servicemen of the russain occupying forces on the territory of Ukraine. Thus, the medical staff of the central district hospital in Glushkovo, Kursk region, has been transferred to an intensified duty regime. This is due to the fact that in the period from March 29 to April 2, from the territory of Sumy region to the medical institution came about 100 wounded russain occupiers.
In the city of Izium, due to significant losses of personnel of the 237th Tankr Regiment and the 752nd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 3rd Motorized Rifle Division, the invaders were forced to equip a field hospital in the local school.
In the temporarily occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia region, in the town of Polohy, servicemen of the armed forces of the russian federation seized and mined the inner territory of the central district hospital. Staff and patients were warned not to return to the hospital. The wounded russian occupiers remained in the hospital.
A russian military leadership is trying to make up for the existing losses of officers using the officers of higher military educational institutions. According to the available information, the Military Academy of the Signal Corps in saint petersburg (russia) is urgently training officers to replace positions in military units.
The situation in the Siversky direction has not changed. Elimination of the consequences of the activities of the russian occupation forces continues.
In Slobozhanshchina, in the city of Izyum, the enemy is carrying out filtration measures and forcible removal of local residents to the territory of a russian federation.
Fighting continues in the territories of the Kherson oblast temporarily occupied by a russian occupiers. Around Nova Kakhovka, russian enemy increased the passing procedures on the checkpoints.
The russian invaders resort to detaining civilians and forcing them into engineering equipment positions. Cases of illegal seizure of vehicles from the population have become more frequent.
• Das – recht knappe – Abendbriefing des russischen Verteidigungsministeriums:

• Die New York Times hat Satellitenaufnahmen der Ortschaft Bucha bei Kiew über die vergangenen Wochen gesichtet – ihr Ergebnis zusammengefasst: Zahlreiche Leichen von Zivilisten, die nach dem Abzug der russischen Streitkräfte dort gefunden wurden, waren auf den Satellitenbildern schon in den Tagen und Wochen zuvor erkennbar, also zu der Zeit, als die Stadt unstrittig unter russischer Kontrolle war:
An analysis of satellite images by The New York Times rebuts claims by Russia that the killing of civilians in Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, occurred after its soldiers had left the town.
When images emerged over the weekend of the bodies of dead civilians lying on the streets of Bucha — some with their hands bound, some with gunshot wounds to the head — Russia’s Ministry of Defense denied responsibility. In a Telegram post on Sunday, the ministry suggested that the bodies had been recently placed on the streets after “all Russian units withdrew completely from Bucha” around March 30. (…)
But a review of videos and satellite imagery by The Times shows that many of the civilians were killed more than three weeks ago, when Russia’s military was in control of the town.
