Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 28. November 2022

Fürs Archiv: Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der Sammler am 28. November 2022:

• Wenig überraschend hat NATO-Generalsekretär Jens Stoltenberg vor Beginn des NATO-Außenministertreffens in Rumänien Russland vorgeworfen, mit der Zerstörung ziviler Infrastruktur den Winter als Waffe zu nutzen, und die weitere Unterstützung der Ukraine zugesichert:

So what we have seen over the last weeks is horrific attacks against Ukrainian cities, critical infrastructure and also residential areas. And what we see is that President Putin is trying to destroy the power system, the gas infrastructure and basic services for the Ukrainian people. And by doing that, when we enter winter, demonstrates that President Putin is now trying to use a weapon or use the winter as a weapon of war against Ukraine. And this is horrific, and we need to be prepared for more attacks. That’s the reason why NATO Allies have stepped up their support to Ukraine. Also with additional air defence systems, Allies are providing advanced air defence systems and different systems that can both address the threats that are represented by the different types of drones but also cruise and ballistic missiles and I expect that one of the messages from the Foreign Ministerial meeting here in Bucharest will be the need to further step up the provision both of air defence systems but also of course, spare parts, training and ammunition to the different air defence systems, because we need to help Ukraine to defend themselves against this horrific type of warfare.

• Die USA prüfen laut einem Bericht von Reuters, der Ukraine Waffen mit größerer Reichweite als bisher zu liefern:

The Pentagon is considering a Boeing proposal to supply Ukraine with cheap, small precision bombs fitted onto abundantly available rockets, allowing Kyiv to strike far behind Russian lines as the West struggles to meet demand for more arms. (…)
Boeing’s proposed system, dubbed Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), is one of about a half-dozen plans for getting new munitions into production for Ukraine and America’s Eastern European allies, industry sources said.
Although the United States has rebuffed requests for the 185-mile (297km) range ATACMS missile, the GLSDB’s 94-mile (150km) range would allow Ukraine to hit valuable military targets that have been out of reach and help it continue pressing its counterattacks by disrupting Russian rear areas.

• Russland hat die geplanten Gespräche mit den USA über eine Fortführung von New START, dem Atomwaffenabkommen, kurzfristig abgesagt. Aus der Meldung von Reuters:

Russia postponed nuclear weapons talks with the United States set to take place this week in Cairo, the U.S. State Department said on Monday, with neither side giving a reason for the postponement.
Officials from the two countries were scheduled to meet in the Egyptian capital from Nov. 29 to Dec. 6 to discuss resuming inspections under the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty, which had been suspended in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
„The Russian side informed the United States that Russia has unilaterally postponed the meeting and stated that it would propose new dates,“ a State Department spokesperson said in a statement.

• Das britische Intel Update:

Despite its liberation by Ukrainian forces on 11 November 2022, Kherson city in southern Ukraine continues to suffer daily bombardment by Russian artillery. On 24 November 2022 alone, 10 people were killed.
On 27 November 2022, a recent high of 54 shelling incidents were reported in the area.
The city is vulnerable because it remains in range of most of Russia’s artillery systems, now firing from the east bank of the Dnipro River, from the rear of newly consolidated defensive lines.
Much of the damage is likely being inflicted in Kherson by Russia’s use of multiple rocket launchers, principally BM-21 Grad systems.

In the Kryvyi Rih and Kherson directions, the occupiers are in positional defense. Artillery shelling of units of our troops and settlements on the right bank of the Dnipro River, in particular the city of Kherson, does not stop.

In order to discredit the Defence Forces, the russian occupiers are shelling populated areas, shifting the responsibility to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, the enemy spreads misinformation that Ukrainian citizens from the liberated territories are detained by the Ukrainian military to increase the exchange fund, accusing them of collaborating with the occupiers.
