Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 30. Juli 2022

Zum anhaltenden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine ein (wg. Wochenende) schnörkelloser Sammler am 30. Juli 2022:

• Das britische Intel Update (diesmal mit dem erstaunlich häufigen Gebrauch des Wortes likely, wahrscheinlich):

It is likely that Ukraine has successfully repelled small scale Russian assaults from the long-established front line near Donetsk city in the Donbas.
In the Kherson area, Russian forces have highly likely established two pontoon bridges and a ferry system to compensate for the fact that nearby bridges have been damaged in recent strikes.
Across the newly occupied territories in southern Ukraine, Russian-installed authorities are highly likely under increasing pressure from Moscow to consolidate their control over the region and prepare for referendums on joining Russia later in the year.
Russia currently classes the occupied areas as under interim ‘civil-military administration’. Local authorities are likely coercing the population into disclosing personal details in order to compose voting registers.
