Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 15. Juli 2022

Veröffentlicht am von

Im anhaltenden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine beobachten die ukrainischen Streitkräfte eine Umgruppierung der russischen Formationen im Osten für eine erneute Offensive. Russland versucht den Angriff am Vortag zu rechtfertigen, bei dem in der zentralukrainischen Stadt Winnyzja zahlreiche Zivilisten getötet und verwundet wurden. Der Sammler am 15. Juli 2022:

• Das britische Intel Update:

In the Donbas, Russian and pro-Russian Luhansk People’s Republic separatist forces claim to have entered the outskirts of Siversk.
This has not been corroborated, however, Russian forces have been slowly advancing westwards following shelling and probing assaults towards Siversk from Lysychansk to open a pathway onward to Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
Bakhmut is likely to be the next objective, once Siversk is secured.
Since withdrawing from the strategically located Snake Island on 30 June 2022, Russia has been attempting to deny its use by Ukraine.
However, on 13 July 2022 airstrikes by two Su-27 Russian fighter jets failed to hit the island. This follows the pattern of Russian air forces failing to successfully engage in the tactical battle.
Over 2.5m people have now been evacuated from Ukraine to Russia since the start of the invasion. Russia continues to face accusations that it is forcibly deporting Ukrainians; in many cases Ukrainians have reportedly been mistreated in filtration camps set up by Russia.

There are no significant changes in the activities of the armed forces of the republic of belarus were noted in the Volyn and Polissya directions.
In the Siversky direction, the enemy continues to carry out enhanced protection of the section of the Ukrainian-russian border. In order to demonstrate their presence, the enemy periodically fires at the positions of our troops in the border areas of Chernihiv and Sumy oblast.
In the Kharkiv direction, the enemy is trying to hold the occupied areas and prevent our troops from advancing towards the state border. Fired tanks, mortars, barrel and jet artillery in the areas of the settlements of Petrivka, Rydne, Sosnivka, Slatyne, Pryshyb, Ruski Tyshky, Pytomnyk, Verkhniy Saltiv and others. Conducted aerial reconnaissance with an operational-tactical Orlan-10 UAV near Prymorske.
In the Slovyansk direction, the enemy is trying to improve the tactical position and conduct offensive actions in the direction of Slovyansk. The areas of Dibrivne, Podolivka, Mazanivka, Adamivka, Chepilya, Krasnopillya, Kurulka and others were shelled with artillery.
In the Donetsk direction, the enemy continues to fire on units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine from artillery and tanks along the contact line. Conducts reconnaissance, trying to find weak points in the defense of our troops. It concentrates its main efforts on the Bakhmut and Novopavliv directions, tries to advance in the direction of Soledar and Bakhmut.
In the direction of Kramatorsk, the enemy is regrouping in order to resume the offensive in the direction of Siversk. The Kramatorsk, Zakitne, Hryhorivka, and other districts were shelled from barrel and rocket artillery. Airstrikes near Verkhnokamyanske.
In the Bakhmut direction, it shelled our positions, in particular, in the areas of the settlements of Novoluhanske, Pokrovske, Vesela Dolyna, Berestove, Vesele, Mayorsk, and Vershyna. It carried out airstrikes near Semihirya, Berestove and the territory of the Vuhlehirska TPP. Our soldiers successfully stopped enemy assault attempts in the area of Kodema and Bilohorivka, as well as attempts to capture the villages of Spirne and Vershyna. The occupiers received stiff resistance, suffered significant losses and withdrew ingloriously.
The enemy engaged UAVs near Bakhmutskyi. Also, the enemy is trying to strengthen the air defense system of rear bases and units.
In the Kurakhiv, Novopavliv, and Zaporizhzhia areas, the invaders did not conduct active actions, they continued shelling along the contact line. They carried out airstrikes near Kamianka. Our defenders quickly suppressed an attempted enemy offensive near Vodyane with accurate fire. The enemy launched a missile-aircraft attack on civilian infrastructure in the Vuhledar area.
The occupiers systematically bombarded civilian and military infrastructure in the South Buh direction. They carried out a missile attack on Mykolaiv and airstrikes in the areas of Velyke Artakove and Olhino.
The enemy conducted aerial reconnaissance with unmanned aerial vehicles of the operational-tactical and tactical levels and continued the engineering equipment of the positions. There remains a significant threat of missile strikes on critical infrastructure in the region.
russian occupiers, in order to somehow justify the destruction of civilian objects on the territory of Ukraine, continue to openly lie about the location of military units in kindergartens, hospitals and churches.
We urge you to trust information only from verified sources and not to spread russian fakes and disinformation.

• Das Abendbriefing des ukrainischen Generalstabs (bislang nur im ukrainischen Original auf Facebook veröffentlicht, deshalb in der Übersetzung von Google Translate):

Operatives Update vom 15.07.2022, 18.00 Uhr, zur russischen Invasion
Der einhundertzweiundvierzigste Tag des heldenhaften Widerstands der ukrainischen Nation gegen die russische Militärinvasion geht weiter.
In den Richtungen Volyn und Poliske wird im Luftraum der Republik Belarus die Rotation des Langstrecken-Radarerkennungsflugzeugs A-50U der Luft- und Weltraumstreitkräfte der Streitkräfte der Russischen Föderation festgestellt. Die Bedrohung durch Raketen- und Luftangriffe aus dem Hoheitsgebiet und dem Luftraum der Republik Belarus bleibt bestehen.
In der Richtung von Seversky hält der Feind bis zu vier taktische Bataillonsgruppen in den Grenzgebieten der Regionen Brjansk und Kursk, um die Präsenz zu demonstrieren und die Aktionen der Verteidigungskräfte einzuschränken. Die Besatzer haben auf unsere Stellungen in der Nähe von Kucherivka und Pokrovka im Gebiet Sumy geschossen.
In Richtung Slobozhansk beschoss der Feind mit Rohr- und Raketenartillerie die Bezirke Charkiw, Staraya Hnylitsa, Ruska Lozova, Ukrainka, Rusky Tyshky, Peremoha, Mykilsk, Slatyny, Solotschiw, Krynychny, Chepily, Novomykolaivka, Novaya Dmytrivka, Dibrovny, Bogorodychny , und Karnauchivka. Machte einen Luftangriff in der Nähe von Verkhniy Saltov.
Ukrainische Soldaten wehrten den Angriff erneut erfolgreich ab, während dessen die Besatzer versuchten, die Kontrolle über Bogorodychny zu erlangen.
In Richtung Donezk verstärkte der Feind in einigen Gebieten den Einsatz von Flug-, Lauf- und Raketenartillerie, um das vorübergehend besetzte Gebiet zu erweitern und die Verwaltungsgrenze der Region Donezk zu erreichen.
Der Feind führte Luftangriffe in den Gebieten Verkhnokamianske, Ivano-Dariivka, Kramatorsk, Berestov, Belogorivka, Pokrovske, Soledar, Nova Kamianka, Paraskoviivka, Bakhmut, Vesela Dolyna und New York durch. Raketen- und Luftangriffe wurden in der Nähe von Bilogorivka, Yagidny, Bakhmut, Avdiivka und Novoselivka registriert.
Die Besatzer versuchten, den Abschnitt der Straße Bachmut-Lysychansk unter ihre Kontrolle zu bringen. Angriffsoperationen wurden in Richtung Nagirny und Bilogoriwka durchgeführt. Ukrainische Soldaten stoppten all diese schlechten Versuche des Feindes mit Feuer und drängten ihn zurück.
Die Invasoren unternahmen auch mehrere erfolglose Versuche, ihre taktische Position in den Richtungen Mykolaivka – Spirne, Myronivka – Vugleghirska TPP und Vidrodzhennya – Vershina zu verbessern. Infolgedessen erlitten die Besatzer Verluste und zogen sich zurück.
In den Gebieten Pawlograd und Pokrowsk führte der Feind Luftaufklärung mit UAVs durch.
In den Richtungen Kurachiw, Nowopawliw und Saporischschja feuerte der Feind Artillerie in den Gebieten der Siedlungen Nowomykhailivka, Pavlivka, Prechistivka, Novopil, Myrne und Mali Shcherbaki ab.
Ein Versuch, die taktische Position in Richtung Solodke – Vodyane, Volodymyrivka – Vodyane, Yehorivka – Pavlivka zu verbessern, endete mit erheblichen Verlusten für die russischen Besatzer. Unter dem Feuer ukrainischer Soldaten zogen sich die Überreste der feindlichen Streitkräfte zurück.
Um Änderungen in der Position unserer Truppen zu erkennen und das Artilleriefeuer anzupassen, führte der Feind eine Luftaufklärung durch BpLA im Gebiet von Mala Tokmachka durch.
In Richtung South Buz beschießt der Feind die Stellungen unserer Truppen aus Panzern, Rohr- und Raketenartillerie entlang der Kontaktlinie. Versuche, Luftaufklärung durch UAVs durchzuführen.
In den Gewässern des Schwarzen Meeres halten die Besatzer drei Träger mit hochpräzisen Waffen einsatzbereit.
