Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 3. Oktober 2022

Nachgetragen fürs Archiv: Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der Sammler am 3. Oktober 2022:

• Der am vergangenen Samstag vermutlich von Russland entführte Generaldirektor des ukrainischen (und von russischen Truppen besetzen) Atomkraftwerks Saporischja ist wieder frei, wie der Generalsekretär der Internationalen Atomenergie-Agentur mitteilte:

• Das britische Intel Update:

On 29 September 2022, President Putin addressed his National Security Council on the ‘partial mobilisation’ he had announced on 21 September.
He said, ‘a lot of questions are being raised during this mobilisation campaign, and we must promptly correct our mistakes and not repeat them.’
Putin’s unusually rapid acknowledgement of problems highlights the dysfunction of the mobilisation over its first week. Local officials are likely unclear on the exact scope and legal rationale of the campaign.
They have almost certainly drafted some personnel who are outside the definitions claimed by Putin and the Ministry of Defence
As drafted reservists continue to assemble at tented transit camps, Russian officials are likely struggling to provide training and in finding officers to lead new units.

Operational update regarding the russian invasion as of 06:00, on October 3, 2022
