Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 3. November 2022 (m. Ergänzungen)

Veröffentlicht am von

Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der Hinweis auf zwei Entwicklungen außerhalb der eigentlichen Kriegshandlungen: Die internationale Atomenergie-Aufsicht sieht nach Kontrolle dreier ukrainischer Atomanlagen keine Hinweise auf die von Russland behauptete schmutzige Bombe der Ukraine. Und die Schweiz bleibt bei ihrem Exportverbot für Gepard-Munition. Der Sammler am 3. November 2022:

• Nach dem (wiederholten) russischen Vorwurf, Ukraine bereite eine schmutzige Bombe mit spaltbarem Material vor, hat die Ukraine die Internationale Atomenergieagentur (IAEA) um Überprüfung vor allem der Nuklearanlagen gebeten, die von Russland genannt worden waren. Aus der Mitteilung der IAEA vom (heutigen) Donnerstag:

IAEA Inspectors Complete In-Field Verification Activities at Three Ukraine locations, No Indications of Undeclared Nuclear Activities and Materials

Inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have completed their in-field verification activities at three locations in Ukraine at the request of the Government of Ukraine, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said today.
Ukraine’s written requests for the IAEA to send teams of inspectors were issued after the Russian Federation made allegations about activities at the three locations – the Institute for Nuclear Research in Kyiv, Eastern Mining and Processing Plant in Zhovti Kody, and Production Association Pivdennyi Machine-Building Plant in Dnipro.
Over the past few days, the inspectors were able to carry out all activities that the IAEA had planned to conduct and were given unfettered access to the locations. Based on the evaluation of the results available to date and the information provided by Ukraine, the Agency did not find any indications of undeclared nuclear activities and materials at the locations. (…)
“Upon the request of the Government of Ukraine, I immediately dispatched inspectors to the three locations to carry out their indispensable technical and independent role in verifying the facts on the ground. Within days, they went there and conducted their safeguards activities, in challenging circumstances during the current conflict in Ukraine,” Director General Grossi said.
“Our technical and scientific evaluation of the results we have so far did not show any sign of undeclared nuclear activities and materials at these three locations. Additionally, we will report on the results of the environmental sampling as soon as possible,” he said.

• Die Schweizer Regierung hat (erneut) die deutsche Bitte abgelehnt, in der Schweiz hergestellte Munition für die Gepard-Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer zur Weitergabe an die Ukraine freizugeben – und machte das auch gleich öffentlich:

Bundesrat Guy Parmelin, Vorsteher des Eidgenössischen Departements für Wirtschaft, Bildung und Forschung (WBF), hat am 3. November 2022 im Auftrag des Bundesrats ein Schreiben der deutschen Bundesministerin der Verteidigung, Christine Lambrecht, beantwortet.
Bei der Anfrage von Bundesministerin Christine Lambrecht vom 21. Oktober 2022 geht es um ca. 12’400 Patronen 35mm-Munition schweizerischen Ursprungs für den Flugabwehrpanzer GEPARD, welche Deutschland an die Ukraine weitergeben möchte.
Im Auftrag des Bundesrats wiederholte Bundesrat Guy Parmelin im Antwortschreiben die rechtliche Situation, wie er sie bereits in einem Schreiben vom 3. Juni 2022 erläutert hatte: Die Schweiz wendet im Verhältnis Russland-Ukraine das Neutralitätsrecht an, welches Teil des Völkergewohnheitsrechts ist. Aufgrund des neutralitätsrechtlichen Gleichbehandlungsgebots kann die Schweiz einer Anfrage um Weitergabe von Kriegsmaterial mit Schweizer Ursprung an die Ukraine nicht zustimmen, solange diese in einen internationalen bewaffneten Konflikt verwickelt ist. Zudem schliessen auch die Bewilligungskriterien des Schweizer Kriegsmaterialgesetzes die Lieferung von Kriegsmaterial an Länder aus, die in einen internationalen bewaffneten Konflikt verwickelt sind.
Da die rechtliche Situation unverändert ist, ist eine Zustimmung zu einer Weitergabe von Schweizer Kriegsmaterial durch Deutschland an die Ukraine weiterhin nicht möglich. Bundesrat Parmelin betonte in seiner Antwort, dass die Schweiz sich entschieden für Frieden und Sicherheit engagiert, jedoch stets unter der strikten Einhaltung des Neutralitätsrechts, wie dies ihrer humanitären Tradition entspricht. So hat der Bundesrat am 2. November 2022 den Aktionsplan Winterhilfe beschlossen, um die Menschen in der Ukraine zu unterstützen. Damit stellt die Schweiz zusätzlich zu ihrem bestehenden humanitären Engagement in der Ukraine und der Region 100 Millionen Franken zur Verfügung.

• Das britische Intel Update:

Russian soldiers serving in Ukraine are likely frustrated that they are forced to serve in old infantry combat vehicles which they describe as aluminium cans.
In mid-October, in the face of Ukrainian offensives, Russian armoured vehicles losses increased to over 40 a day: roughly equivalent to a battalion’s worth of equipment.
In recent weeks Russia has likely resorted to acquiring at least 100 additional tanks and infantry fighting vehicles from Belarussian stocks.
Armoured units and artillery are central to Russia’s way of war; the force in Ukraine is now struggling partially due to difficulties in sourcing both artillery ammunition and sufficient serviceable replacement armoured vehicles.

Residents of settlements along the left bank of the Dnipro River from the settlement of Velyka Znamyanka in the Zaporizhzhia oblast to Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson oblast are subject to it.
The occupiers continue to steal and take away ambulances and equipment from hospitals from the settlement of Hola Prystan to the city of Skadovsk.
In the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk oblast, units of the russian occupation forces continue to use the civilian population as „human shields“. Thus, according to available information, in the city of Svatove, the occupiers continue to place their units in schools and enterprises, and the local population is forced to continue working and bringing children to classes, despite shelling.

• Das Abendbriefing des ukrainischen Generalstabs:

Operational update of General Staff of the UAF regarding the russian invasion as of 18:00, on November 3, 2022
The two-hundred-fifty-third (253) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military large-scale invasion continues.
The enemy is trying to keep the temporarily captured territories, concentrates efforts on restraining the actions of the Defense Forces in certain areas. Conducts offensive actions in the Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavlivka directions.
The enemy is shelling units of the Defense Forces along the contact line, carrying out border fortification equipment in separate directions and conducting aerial reconnaissance. It continues to strike critical infrastructure and civilian homes in violation of International Humanitarian Law, the laws and customs of war.
During the current day, the enemy launched 3 missile and 16 air strikes, carried out more than 40 MLRS attacks.
Areas of more than 25 settlements were hit by enemy attacks. In particular, these are Pavlohrad in Dnipropetrovsk oblast and Avdiivka and Vuhledar in Donetsk oblast.
The threat of new strikes and the use of attack UAVs remains, in particular from the territory of the republic of belarus.
The situation in the Volyn and Polissya directions has not changed significantly. The republic of belarus continues to support the armed aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine.
The enemy shelled in other directions:
in the Siversky direction – from mortars and barrel artillery, in the areas of Vilchyky settlements of Chernihiv oblast and Stara Huta, Sosnivka and Novovolodymyrivka of Sumy oblast;
in the Slobozhanskyi direction – in the areas of the settlements of Hatyshche, Kozacha Lopan, Ohirtseve and Strilecha. The enemy used an attack UAV;
in the Kupyansk and Lyman directions – from mortars, barrel and rocket artillery, in the areas of Verkhnokamianske, Spirne and Zvanivka settlements;
in the Bakhmut direction – from tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery, in the areas of the settlements of Soledar, Opytne, New York, Ozaryanivka and Kurdyumivka;
in the Avdiivka direction – from tanks and various caliber artillery, in the areas of Maryinka, Novomykhailivka, Nevelske and Vodyane settlements;
in the Novopavlivsk and Zaporizhzhia directions – from artillery of various types, in the areas of the settlements of Vuhledar, Kamianske and Vremivka.
In the South Buh direction, more than 35 settlements along the contact line suffered fire damage. In addition, the enemy continued to conduct aerial reconnaissance, actively using UAVs. Made more than 30 flies.
Despite the announced end of partial mobilization, the military leadership of the russian federation continues to recruit so-called „volunteers“ to participate in the war on the territory of Ukraine. Military commissars received instructions on the further formation of so-called volunteer units. These „volunteers“ can become men with cleared criminal records, without age restrictions and in any state of health, except for persons with official disabled status. In order to avoid legal and financial obligations, the conclusion of a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the russian federation with such persons is not envisaged.
Previously demobilized personnel have a low level of morale and psychological state, which leads to extraordinary events in places of deployment. Thus, in units of the 57th motorized rifle division of the so-called territorial troops, at the stage of reconciliation in Kazan, more than 15 soldiers and sergeants voluntarily left, and during the redeployment to Ukraine, two more mobilized committed suicide.
In addition, the main problem of already operating occupation units, in addition to private military campaigns, remains the low training of personnel and the rapid failure of military equipment that has been removed from storage and has not undergone appropriate maintenance.
Aviation of the Defense Forces struck the enemy 12 times during the day. 8 areas of concentration of weapons and military equipment, as well as 4 positions of the enemy’s anti-aircraft defense equipment, were affected.
Units of missile forces and artillery of the Defense Forces were struck within a day 3 areas of concentration of manpower, 2 areas of accumulation of weapons and military equipment, 2 ammunition warehouses and other important military facilities of the russian occupiers.
