Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 24. Mai 2022

Veröffentlicht am von

Während der russische Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine im Osten des Landes unvermittelt anhält, dringt die Regierung in Kiew immer stärker auf weitere schwere Waffen, vor allem Artillerie, aus dem Westen. Der Sammler am 24. Mai 2022:

• Der ukrainische Außenminister Dmitro Kuleba erneuerte die Forderung nach weitreichender Raketenartillerie:

• Im so genannten Ramstein-Format hatten am (gestrigen) Montag erneut westliche Länder über weitere Waffenlieferungen für die Ukraine beraten. US-Außenminister Lloyd Austin dazu, aus dem Transkript seiner Pressekonferenz:

Now, we’ve made important progress since the Contact Group was established after the Ramstein Summit last month, and today, together with Minister Reznikov and his team, we’ve gained a sharper and shared sense of Ukraine’s priority requirements and the situation on the battlefield. We also heard some very welcome announcements this morning about even more security assistance for Ukraine. That includes some 20 countries that announced new security assistance packages, and many countries are donating critically needed artillery ammunition and coastal defense systems and tanks and other armored vehicles. Others came forward with new commitments for training Ukraine’s forces and sustaining its military systems. There are too many countries to properly thank everyone here, but let me mention just a few standouts.
I’m especially grateful to Denmark, which announced today that it will provide a harpoon launcher and missiles to help Ukraine defend its coast. I’d also like to thank the Czech Republic for its substantial support, including a recent donation of attack helicopters, tanks and rocket systems. And today, several countries announced new donations of critically needed artillery systems and ammunition, including Italy, Greece, Norway and Poland. And let me also recognize the United Kingdom for its leading role in helping to coordinate security assistance and for the significant quantities of British equipment that continue to flow into Ukraine. I’m deeply grateful to these countries and to all the countries that have stood up today.

• Das britische Intel Update:

Russia has increased the intensity of its operations in the Donbas as it seeks to encircle Severodonetsk, Lyschansk, and Rubizhne. At present the northern and southern axes of this operation are separated by approximately 25 km of Ukrainian-held territory.
There has been strong Ukrainian resistance with forces occupying well dug-in defensive positions. Ukraine’s long-established Joint Force Operation likely retains effective command and control of this front.
Russia has, however, achieved some localised successes, due in part to concentrating artillery units.
Russia’s capture of the Severodonetsk pocket would see the whole of Luhansk Oblast placed under Russian occupation. While currently Russia’s main effort, this operation is only one part of Russia’s campaign to seize the Donbas.
If the Donbas front line moves further west, this will extend Russian lines of communication and likely see its forces face further logistic resupply difficulties.
