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

Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine ein knapper Sammler am 2. September 2022*:

• Das britische Intel Update:

Heavy fighting continues in southern Ukraine, including shelling in Enerhodar district, near the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
Despite the war in Ukraine, on 01 September, the Russian military started exercise Vostok 22, its annual Joint Strategic Exercise, marking the culmination of the military training year.
Russia publicly claimed that 50,000 troops will take part, however, it’s unlikely that more than 15,000 personnel will be actively involved this year. This is around 20% of the forces which participated in the last Vostok exercise in 2018.
Russia’s military performance in Ukraine has highlighted that Russia’s military strategic exercises, such as Vostok, have failed to sustain the military’s ability to conduct large scale, complex operations.
Such events are heavily scripted, do not encourage initiative, and primarily aim to impress Russian leaders and international audiences.
