Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 25. Mai 2022

Veröffentlicht am von

Im andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine deutet das russische Vorgehen auf eine Offensive im Osten hin – lokal begrenzt, dennoch eine Offensive.  Die ersten von Frankreich zugesagten Haubitzen sind offensichtlich an die Ukrainer übergeben worden. Der Sammler am 25. Mai 2022:

• Die Lieferung schwerer Waffen aus dem Westen in die Ukraine geht weiter: Die von Frankreich zugesagten selbstfahrenden Caesar-Haubitzen scheinen – zumindest ein Teil – bei den ukrainischen Streitkräften angekommen, wie der ukrainische Generalstab in einem Video zeigte.

• Das britische Intel Update:

There has been no significant merchant shipping activity in or out of Odessa since the start of the war. Russia’s subsequent naval blockade of key Black Sea ports has deterred the commercial shipping industry from operating in the area.
Ukraine’s overland export mechanisms are highly unlikely to substitute for the shortfall in shipping capacity caused by the Russian blockade. As a result, significant supplies of Ukrainian grain remain in storage unable to be exported.
Fighting has already placed indirect pressure on global grain prices. While the threat of Russia’s naval blockade continues to deter access by commercial shipping to Ukrainian ports, the resulting supply shortfalls will further increase the price of many staple products.

• Am (gestrigen) Dienstag hatte der Gouverneur des ukrainisch kontrollierten Teils des Oblasts Luhansk vor einer russischen Einschließung gewarnt:

The head of the Luhansk regional administration Haidai:
– Russians advancing in all directions simultaneously; the Severodonetsk direction, in Hirska Hromada from the side of Zolote and Katerynivka, near Popasna from the side of Komyshuvakha, and Chornobaivka – Bilohorivka.
– Lysychansk-Bakhmut road is fully covered by enemy fire. Enemy’s sabotage & reconnaissance groups are already operating there. Situation is on the verge of critical.
– Russia brought „insane“ number of troops/equipment there, keep helicopters and heavy weapons ready.
– Now is the most difficult time for Luhansk Oblast for all eight years of the war.
– Free Luhansk Oblast is now like Mariupol – an outpost that holds back the onslaught. Despite the superiority of the enemy army, we will win, because we are fighting for our land.
