Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 29. August 2022 (mit Update)

Veröffentlicht am von

Im andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg sind Experten der Internationalen Atomenergieagentur auf dem Weg zum Atomkraftwerk Saporischja – dem derzeit vermutlich gefährlichsten Ort in der Ukraine, weil es rund um die Reaktoren Kampfhandlungen gibt und die Gefahr einer radioaktiven Verseuchung nach wie vor nicht gebannt ist. Der Sammler am 29. August 2022:

• Ein Team der Internationalen Atomenergieagentur IAEA ist auf dem Weg zum umkämpften Atomkraftwerk Saporischja in der Ukraine, wie IAEA-Generaldirektor Rafael Grossi am (heutigen) Montagmorgen via Twitter mitteilte:

Entscheidend wird natürlich, wie schnell und unter welchen Bedingungen die Experten der UN-Organisation Zugang zu dem von russischen Truppen besetzten Reaktorgelände bekommen.

• Das britische Intel Update:

Recent independent Russian media reports have claimed that due to the problems Russia is facing in its war against Ukraine, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu is now being side-lined within the Russian leadership, with operational commanders briefing President Putin directly on the course of the war.
Russian officers and soldiers with first-hand experience of the war probably routinely ridicule Shoigu for his ineffectual and out-of-touch leadership as Russian progress has stalled.
Shoigu has likely long struggled to overcome his reputation as lacking substantive military experience, as he spent most of his career in the construction sector and the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

• In einer europapolitischen Grundsatzrede an der Karls-Universität in Prag kündigte Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz an, Deutschland werde sich bei den militärischen Unterstützungsleistungen für die Ukraine auf Artillerie und Luftverteidigung konzentrieren:

In den nächsten Wochen und Monaten erhält die Ukraine von uns zudem neue, hochmoderne Waffen – Luftverteidigungs- und Radarsysteme etwa, oder Aufklärungsdrohnen. Allein unser letztes Paket an Waffenlieferungen hat einen Wert von über 600 Millionen Euro. Unser Ziel sind moderne ukrainische Streitkräfte, die ihr Land dauerhaft verteidigen können.
Dafür dürfen wir alle aber nicht nur das an Kiew liefern, worauf wir selbst gerade verzichten können. Auch hier brauchen wir mehr Planung und Koordination.
Gemeinsam mit den Niederlanden haben wir deshalb eine Initiative gestartet, die auf eine dauerhafte und verlässliche Arbeitsteilung zwischen allen Partnern der Ukraine abzielt. Ich kann mir zum Beispiel vorstellen, dass Deutschland besondere Verantwortung beim Aufbau der ukrainischen Artillerie und Luftverteidigung übernimmt. Auf solch ein System der koordinierten Unterstützung sollten wir uns schnell verständigen. Und damit unser Bekenntnis zu einer freien, unabhängigen Ukraine auf Dauer untermauern.
