Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 2. August 2022

Veröffentlicht am von

Im anhaltenden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine hat Spanien endgültig klargestellt, dass keine Leopard-Kampfpanzer des Landes an die Ukraine geliefert werden. Die USA kündigten weitere Lieferungen von Artilleriemunition an. Der Sammler am 2. August 2022:

• Eine in den vergangenen Wochen immer wieder genannte Möglichkeit, dass die Ukraine doch westliche Panzermodelle erhalten könnte, scheint vom Tisch: Die spanische Verteidigungsministerin Margarita Robles erklärte am (heutigen) Dienstag, die von den spanischen Streitkräften eingelagerten Kampfpanzer Leopard 2A4 seien zu alt und praktisch eine Gefahr für ihre Nutzer, wie unter anderem Reuters berichtet:

„We are today looking at all the possibilities, but I can already say that the Leopards in Zaragoza that have not been used for many years cannot be sent because they are in an absolutely deplorable state,“ Robles told reporters on Tuesday during at an air base in Torrejon de Ardoz, Madrid.
„We can’t give them away because they would be a risk to the people“ using them, she said.

Seit Juni hatte es immer Hinweise gegeben, Spanien habe der Ukraine 40 dieser Kampfpanzer angeboten. Allerdings wäre dafür auch die Genehmigung der deutschen Regierung erforderlich gewesen. Bislang hat kein Land Kampf- oder Schützenpanzer aus westlicher Produktion an die Ukraine geliefert.

Bereits am (gestrigen) Montag hatten die USA weitere militärische Unterstützung für die Ukraine angekündigt, vor allem Artilleriemunition:

Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announces the authorization of a Presidential Drawdown of security assistance valued at up to $550 million to meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs.  (…)
Capabilities in this package include equipment the Ukrainians are using effectively to defend their country such as:
1. 75,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition;
2. Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS).

• Die ukrainischen Behörden haben mit der angekündigten Evakuierung der Region Donezk begonnen:

Mandatory evacuation from Donetsk region has begun. The first train arrived in Kropyvnytskyy this morning.
„Women, children, elderly people, many people with reduced mobility. Everyone was met and got accommodation, everyone got help. Grateful to local services, international organizations and volunteers. Exemplary work!“ stressed Iryna Vereshchuk, Deputy Prime Minister – Minister for Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories.

• Das britische Intel Update:

The Sierra Leone-flagged cargo ship RAZONI left the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa on 1 August, headed to the port of Tripoli in Lebanon loaded with 26,000 tonnes of Ukrainian grain.
This marks the first grain shipment from a Ukrainian port since the invasion began, enabled by an agreement on a grain export transit corridor between Ukraine, Turkey, the UN, and Russia on 22 July.
The reported strike on Russian Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol on Navy Day is the latest setback for the Black Sea Fleet in the five-month-old war against Ukraine, which included the loss of its flagship, the cruiser MOSKVA, in April 2022.
Following the reports of cancelled parades, it is unlikely that the Black Sea Fleet can manage high profile public events alongside its wartime activities.
