Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 17. September 2022

Veröffentlicht am von

Im andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine erwarten britische Nachrichtendienste, dass die russischen Truppen im Nordosten ihre Verteidigungslinie vehement verteidigen, um nicht vom Nachschub abgeschnitten zu werden. Nach ukrainischen Angaben wird die russische Artilleriemunition in Teilen bereits knapp.  Der Sammler am 17. September 2022:

• Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz hat – erneut – die Lieferung von Kampf- und Schützenpanzern aus Deutschland an die Ukraine abgelehnt und zugleich darauf verwiesen, dass die deutschen Panzerhaubitzen und Mehrfachraketenwerfer entscheidenden Anteil an den jüngsten Erfolgen der Ukrainer gehabt hätten. Aus dem Interview der Woche des Deutschlandfunks:

Sie sehen, wie sehr wir unsere Lieferungen ausgeweitet haben. Und das haben wir sehr klug, besonnen und abgewogen gemacht und immer mit allen anderen abgestimmt und im Verbund mit anderen Freunden. Und das ist auch der richtige Weg. Und der muss es auch bleiben, aus meiner Sicht. Ich will das ganz klar sagen: Wir haben die Ukraine unterstützt, wir werden das tun, wir tun es in sehr großem Umfang und auch mit sehr relevanten Waffen, die wir zur Verfügung stellen, und gleichzeitig bleibt es unser Ziel, dass es nicht zu einer Eskalation des Krieges zwischen Russland und der NATO kommt.

• Nach einem Bericht der Welt (Link aus bekannten Gründen nicht) hat die Bundesregierung die Lieferung von Radhaubitzen der Firma Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) an die Ukraine genehmigt. Die 18 Geschütze vom Typ RCH-155 (KORREKTUR, nicht RCH-55) im Wert von 261 Millionen Euro müssen allerdings erst produziert werden und werden voraussichtlich in zweieinhalb Jahren geliefert. Der ukrainische Botschafter Andrij Melnyk sagte nach Angaben des Blattes, bereits jetzt seien sowohl die Finanzierung als auch die Exportgenehmigung von der Bundesregierung beschlossen worden – das wäre ein Unterschied zur ebenfalls von der Ukraine bei KMW in Auftrag gegebenen 100 Panzerhaubitzen, für die zunächst wie üblich nur die Produktion genehmigt wurde.

• In seiner regelmäßigen Videoansprache am (gestrigen) Freitagabend hob der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj vor allem die Massengräber hervor, die nach der Rückeroberung der Stadt Isjum durch ukrainische Truppen entdeckt wurden:

Exhumation of bodies continues at a mass burial site near Izium. As of now, more than 440 graves have been found. It is too early to say about the number of people buried there, investigations are ongoing.
There is already clear evidence of torture, humiliating treatment of people… Moreover, there is evidence that Russian soldiers, whose positions were not far from this place, shot at the buried just for fun.
The world must react to all this. Russia has repeated in Izium what it did in Bucha. And now we have just begun to learn the full truth about what was happening in Kharkiv region at that time.

• Das britische Intel Update:

Ukraine continues offensive operations in the north-east of the country while Russian forces have established a defensive line between the Oskil River and the town of Svatove.
Russia likely sees maintaining control of this zone as important because it is transited by one of the few main resupply routes Russia still controls from the Belgorod region of Russia.
In addition, this line sits along the border of Luhansk Oblast, part of the Donbas, which Russia aims to ‘liberate’ as one of its immediate war aims. Any substantial loss of territory in Luhansk will unambiguously undermine Russia’s strategy.
Russia will likely attempt to conduct a stubborn defence of this area, but it is unclear whether Russia’s front line forces have sufficient reserves or adequate morale to withstand another concerted Ukrainian assault.

The enemy is shelling our positions along the contact line, is trying to take measures to regroup troops in separate directions, conducts aerial reconnaissance. There remains the threat of air and missile strikes throughout the territory of Ukraine.

In order to hold the temporarily captured territories, the enemy is trying to strengthen the first line of defense in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya regions – it is moving reserves from the units of the 3rd Army Corps, as well as the remnants of units that were withdrawn from the Kharkiv direction. At the same time, due to the breach by the Defense Forces of the logistical support of the occupiers, units of the armed forces of the russian federation performing tasks along the contact line have problems with the lack of certain types of ammunition for rocket launchers and artillery.
