Im andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine rüsten die russischen Streitkräfte nach ukrainischen Angaben auf: Aus den Depots in etlichen Teilen Russlands werde neues Material in das Kriegsgebiet geschafft. Der Sammler am 1. Mai 2022:

• Das britische Intel Update:

Since seizing the southern city of Kherson in early March, Russia has sought to legitimise its control of the city and surrounding areas through installing a pro-Russian administration.
Recent statements from this administration include declaring a return to Ukrainian control “impossible” and announcing a four-month currency transition from the Ukrainian hryvnia to the Russian rouble. The Russian rouble is due to be used in Kherson from today.
These statements are likely indicative of Russian intent to exert strong political and economic influence in Kherson over the long term.
Enduring control over Kherson and its transport links will increase Russia’s ability to sustain its advance to the north and west and improve the security of Russia’s control over Crimea.
