Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 7. Juni 2022

Veröffentlicht am von

Im russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine halten die Kämpfe im Osten und vor allem um die Stadt Severodonezk an. Russland verstärkt unterdessen die Bemühungen, eroberte Teile der Ukraine zu annektieren. Der Sammler am 7. Juni 2022:

• In mehreren Regionen vor allem im Süden der Ukraine erklärt Russland offen das Ziel, die Gebiete zu annektieren. Aus dem Bericht der russischen Agentur TASS aus Kherson:

The authorities of the Kherson Region believe that the territory will most probably decide to follow in Crimea’s footsteps with respect to the idea of reunification with Russia, the deputy chief of the Kherson Region’s military-civilian administration, Kirill Stremousov, told the media on the sidelines of the 15th international festival Great Russian Word in Yalta on Tuesday.

… und aus Saporischschja:

The technical aspects of the issues of holding a referendum on the Zaporozhye region joining Russia are being worked through, the timeframe has not yet been defined, aide to a member of the chief council of the military-civilian administration of the Zaporozhye region Artem Sharlay told TASS on Tuesday.
„The technical issues are being worked out now, when to do it, how to do it. Right now this issue is being worked on because a significant part of the region where almost half of the population resides is controlled by the West, by Nazis. The residents of the city of Zaporozhye itself right now cannot vote because if they say ‚yes,‘ if they say ‚we want to join Russia,‘ they will be immediately taken to SBU’s torture chambers, people live in fear there,“ he said.

• Zum Thema westlicher Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine zwei Hinweise: Zum einen gibt es einen französischen TV-Bericht über den Einsatz der CESAR-Haubitzen aus Frankreich:

… und zum anderen schließt der ukrainische Generalstab auch ausdrücklich Deutschland in seinen Dank für Waffenlieferungen ein:

• Allerdings helfen der Ukraine Waffenlieferungen alleine nicht – es geht auch um die Ausbildung an den westlichen Systemen, und das führt zu Problemen schon beim Zubehör, wie die New York Times berichtet:

Since Russia invaded, NATO nations have upgraded Ukraine’s arsenal with increasingly sophisticated tools, with more promised, like the advanced multiple-launch rocket systems pledged by the United States and Britain.
But training soldiers how to use the equipment has become a significant and growing obstacle. (…)
“It’s like being given an iPhone 13 and only being able to make phone calls,” said Sergeant Pysanka, clearly exasperated.

Dazu noch eine Ergänzung – der Bericht zeigt, wie gefährlich der Gegensatz metrisches System und so genannte imperiale Maße ist:

But an oversight nearly delayed all maintenance on the guns at the hard-to-reach front lines, Ukrainian officers said. The entire M777 machine is put together on the imperial system used in the United States, meaning that using a Ukrainian metric wrench on it would be difficult, and would risk damaging the equipment.
Only after sending the guns did the United States arrange for a rushed shipment of toolboxes of imperial-gauge wrenches, said Maj. Vadim Baranik, the deputy commander of a maintenance unit.

• Das britische Intel Update:

Over the weekend, Ukrainian forces have recaptured parts of Sieverodonetsk although Russian forces likely continue to occupy eastern districts. Russia’s broader plan likely continues to be to cut off the Sieverodonetsk area from both the north and the south.
Russia made gains on the southern, Popasna axis through May but its progress in the area has stalled over the last week. Reports of heavy shelling near Izium suggests Russia is preparing to make a renewed effort on the northern axis.
Russia will almost certainly need to achieve a breakthrough on at least one of these axes to translate tactical gains to operational level success and progress towards its political objective of controlling all of Donetsk Oblast.
