Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 30. Oktober 2022

Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der Sammler am 30. Oktober 2022:

• Das russische Verteidigungsministerium veröffentlichte am (heutigen) Sonntag ein Statement zur den Angriffen auf russische Kriegsschiffe in Sewastopol auf der annektierten Krim am Vortag. Zwei wesentliche Aussagen: die dabei verwendeten Überwasserdrohnen sollen mit kanadischer Technik ausgestattet gewesen sein – und möglicherweise, so der russische Vorwurf, seien sie von einen zivilen Getreidefrachter gestartet worden:

Nach der Abwehr des terroristischen Angriffs auf die Schiffe der Schwarzmeerflotte und zivile Schiffe, die an der Sicherung des „Getreidekorridors“ beteiligt waren, wurden am 29. Oktober dieses Jahres Trümmer von Marinedrohnen, die vom Kiewer Regime unter der Führung von Vertretern Großbritanniens eingesetzt worden waren, gefunden und an die Oberfläche gehoben.
Fachleute des russischen Verteidigungsministeriums haben gemeinsam mit Vertretern anderer staatlicher Stellen die in den unbemannten Flugzeugen eingebauten Navigationsmodule kanadischer Herkunft fachmännisch geprüft.
Nach der Rekonstruktion der aus dem Speicher des Navigationsempfängers ausgelesenen Informationen wurde festgestellt, dass die Seedrohnen von der Küste in der Nähe der Stadt ODESSA gestartet wurden.
Anschließend bewegten sich die Drohnen entlang der Sicherheitszone des „Getreidekorridors“, bevor sie ihre Route in Richtung der russischen Schiffsbasis in Sewastopol änderten.
Gleichzeitig weisen die Koordinaten einer der Seedrohnen auf einen Startpunkt in den Gewässern der Sicherheitszone „Getreidekorridor“ im Schwarzen Meer hin.
Experten zufolge könnte dies auf den vorläufigen Start dieser Drohne von einem der zivilen Schiffe hinweisen, die von Kiew oder seinen westlichen Gönnern gechartert wurden, um landwirtschaftliche Erzeugnisse aus den ukrainischen Häfen zu exportieren.

• Das britische Intel Update:

On 27 October 2022, Russian mogul Yevgeny Prigozhin posted online, apparently admitting allegations that his private military company, the Wagner Group, had altered its standards & was recruiting Russian convicts suffering from serious diseases including HIV & Hepatitis C.
The role of Wagner Group has evolved significantly since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In previous conflicts, it maintained relatively high recruitment standards, with many of its operators having previously served as professional Russian soldiers.
The admission of prisoners with serious medical concerns highlights an approach which now prioritises numbers over experience or quality.
Prigozhin’s has recently discussed plans to create a 200km long defensive ‘Wagner Line’ in eastern Ukraine. This endeavour would require a large labour force.
There is a realistic possibility that some of the convict recruits will initially be put to work constructing the defences.

Operational update of General Staff of the UAF regarding the russian invasion as of 18:00, on October 30, 2022
The two-hundred-forty-ninth (249) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military large-scale invasion continues.
The enemy is trying to hold the temporarily captured territories, concentrates efforts on restraining the actions of the Defense Forces in certain directions, while at the same time not stopping offensive operations in the Bakhmut and Avdiivka directions.

Areas of more than 15 settlements were hit by enemy attacks. Among them are Kupyansk in the Kharkiv oblast and Berezneguvate and Ochakiv in the Mykolaiv oblast.
