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

Im andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine hat Russland den Angriff mit Marschflugkörpern auf Odessa eingeräumt – der weniger als 24 Stunden nach einem Abkommen zum Getreideexport auch und gerade über den Hafen von Odessa stattfand. Der Sammler am 24. Juli 2022:

• Einen Tag nach dem Angriff auf den Hafen von Odessa hat die russische Regierung bestätigt, dass es ein Angriff ihrer Streitkräfte war – und den mit der Behauptung gerechtfertigt, nur militärische Ziele seien attackiert worden. Zunächst erklärte die Sprecherin des Moskauer Außenministeriums, Marija Sacharowa, am (heutigen) Sonntag auf ihrem Telegram-Kanal:

Wolodymyr Selenskij hat den Beschuss des Hafens von Odessa als „unverhohlene russische Barbarei“ bezeichnet. „Wenn noch jemand sagen könnte, dass eine Art von Dialog mit Russland notwendig ist, dann sehen Sie sich an, was gerade passiert. Die Kalibr-Raketen haben die Möglichkeit solcher Aussagen zunichte gemacht.“
Kalibr-Raketen haben einen Teil der militärischen Infrastruktur im Hafen von Odessa zerstört und ein ukrainisches Militärboot mit einem Präzisionsschlag an eine vom Kiewer Regime geliebte Adresse geschickt.

• Die Aussage findet sich auch, etwas präziser, im Briefing des russischen Verteidigungsministeriums:

• Das britische Intel Update:

In the Donbas, small-scale Russian offensive action remains focused on the Bakhmut axis, but it is making minimal progress.
On 20 July 2022, Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia had expanded the scope of its ‘special military operation’ beyond the self-declared Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics.
Lavrov claimed that the operation now included new additional areas, including the Ukrainian regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, as a result of Western countries supplying longer range weapons to Ukraine.
This is almost certainly not true. Russia has not ‘expanded’ its war; maintaining long-term control of these areas was almost certainly an original goal of the invasion.
Russia invaded these areas in February and the occupation authorities have been publicly discussing the prospects for legal independent referendums since at least mid-March.
There is a realistic possibility that Lavrov made the comments to pave the way for referenda to take place in occupied territories beyond Luhansk and Donetsk.

Operational update regarding the #russian_invasion as of 18:00, on July 24, 2022
The one hundred fifty-first (151) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military invasion continues.
The situation has not undergone any significant changes in the Volyn, Polissya, and Siversky directions. The enemy shelled the districts of the villages of Hai in the Chernihiv oblast and Hudove, Bilopilla and Stari Vyrky in the Sumy region.
In the Kharkiv direction, the enemy carried out fire damage from barrel and jet artillery in the areas of the settlements of Kharkiv, Ruski Tyshki, Stariy Saltiv, Prudyanka, Rubizhne, Tsyrkuny, Bazaliivka, Slatyne, Derhachi, Cherkaski Tyshky, Blahodatne, Udy, Pryshyb and Pytomnyk. Carried out airstrikes near Verkhniy Saltov and Mospanove.
In the Slovyansk direction, shelling was recorded near Velyka Komyshuvakha, Hrushuvaha, Krasnopilla, Virnopilla, Dolyna, Chervona Polyana, Karnaukhivka, and Dibrovny. The occupiers tried to establish control over the settlement of Bohorodychne by assaulting them. And again, traditionally, without any success.
In the Kramatorsk direction, the enemy shelled the areas of Kryva Luka, Siversk, Hryhorivka, Verkhnyokamianske, Ivano-Daryivka, and Spirne settlements with barrel and rocket artillery. Ukrainian soldiers have once again repelled enemy assaults in the directions Verkhnyokamyanka – Verkhnyokamyanske and Bilohorivka – Verkhnyokamyanske. The occupiers, with losses, withdrew.
In the direction of Bakhmut, the enemy fired at our troops near Berestovo, Bilohorivka, Nova Kamyanka, Pokrovske, Bakhmut, Vesela Dolyna, Zaitsevo, Travnevo, and New York. In addition, he carried out an airstrike near Bakhmut.
The enemy’s poor attempts to improve the tactical position in the directions Volodymyrivka – Bakhmutske and Dolomitne – Novoluhanske ended in significant losses and a retreat. The enemy is losing personnel, but stubbornly continues its attempts to establish control over the territory of the Vuhlehirska TPP. Fighting continues. Fierce fighting also continues in the direction of Roty – Semihirya.
Systematic shelling of civilian infrastructure in the areas of Avdiivka, Opytne, Pisky, Krasnohorivka, Novomykhailivka, Pavlivka, Zaliznychne, Charivne, Novoandriivka, and Stepnohirsk continues in the Avdiivka, Novopavlivka, and Zaporizhzhia directions. In some areas, the russian occupiers also conduct aerial reconnaissance by UAVs.
In the South Buh direction, the enemy is concentrating its main efforts on preventing the advance of our troops. Enemy shelling was recorded near Osokorivka, Trudolyubivka, Pervomaisky, Yavkyny, Novohryhorivka, Kavkaz, Novomykolayivka, Kotlyareve, Polyana, Tavriyske and Mykolaiv. Ukrainian defenders also do not remain in debt.
Outside the base points, the enemy keeps three carriers of high-precision weapons. We urge you not to ignore air warning signals.
The occupiers launched an airstrike near Andriivka. After that, they tried to advance in the direction of Sukhy Stavok – Andriivka and Bruskinske – Bilohirka. But our soldiers did not give the enemy any chance of success. The enemy suffered losses and retreated chaotically.
