Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 9. November 2022

Veröffentlicht am von

Im andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine ist die Meldung des Tages, dass die russischen Streitkräfte das rechte Ufer des Flusses Dnipro (Dnjepr) und damit auch die besetzte ukrainische Provinzhauptstadt Kherson räumen wollen. Der Sammler am 9. November 2022:

• Den Rückzug aus Kherson meldete die militärische Führung am (heutigen) Mittwoch dem russischen Verteidigungsminister Sergej Schoigu, der den Plan gebilligt habe, meldete die russische Staatsagentur RIA:

Verteidigungsminister Sergej Schoigu hat einem Vorschlag des Befehlshabers der Vereinigten Gruppe der russischen Streitkräfte, Sergej Surowikin, zugestimmt, in der Region Cherson am linken Ufer des Dnjepr Verteidigungsanlagen zu errichten.
„Nach einer umfassenden Bewertung der gegenwärtigen Lage wird vorgeschlagen, die Verteidigung am linken Ufer des Dnjepr aufzunehmen. Ich verstehe, dass dies eine sehr schwierige Entscheidung ist. Gleichzeitig, und das ist das Wichtigste, werden wir das Leben unserer Truppen und die allgemeine Kampfeffizienz der Truppengruppierung retten, denn es ist sinnlos, sie in einem begrenzten Gebiet am rechten Ufer zu halten. Darüber hinaus werden wir einige Kräfte und Mittel freisetzen, die für aktive Operationen, einschließlich offensiver Maßnahmen, in anderen Richtungen im Operationsgebiet eingesetzt werden. (…)
„Cherson und die angrenzenden Siedlungen können nicht vollständig versorgt werden und funktionieren, das Leben der Menschen ist ständig in Gefahr“, sagte Surowikin.

Update: Der ukrainische Präsidentenberater Mykhailo Podolyak warnte allerdings:

Ergänzung: Im (englischen) Bericht der russischen Nachrichtenagentur TASS wird der von der russischen Militärführung angesprochene Aspekt der Gefährdung eigener Kräfte durch eine mögliche Zerstörung des Staudamms oberhalb vom Kherson hervorgehoben:

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has ordered to start pulling out troops behind the Dnieper River.
„Start withdrawing the troops and take all measures to ensure the safe relocation of the personnel, armaments and hardware behind the Dnieper,“ the defense chief said, setting the task for Commander of Russia’s Integrated Group of Forces in Ukraine Sergey Surovikin. (…)
Defense along the Dnieper barrier frontier is the most expedient option of operations in the zone of the special military operation, Surovikin said.
„If the Kiev regime resorts to a larger water discharge from reservoirs or a more powerful rocket attack on the Kakhovka dam, this will create a flow of water flooding vast areas and causing civilian casualties. A further threat for civilians and of a complete isolation of our group of forces on the right bank of the Dnieper will emerge. Under these conditions, it is expedient to organize the defense along the barrier frontier of the Dnieper River,“ the commander said.

• Das britische Intel Update:

Russian efforts to repair the Crimean Bridge continue but it is unlikely to be fully operational until at least September 2023.
On 8 November the road bridge was due to be closed to allow the movement and installation of a replacement 64-metre span. Three more spans will be required to replace the damaged road sections.
Although Crimean officials have claimed these additional spans will be in place by 20 December, a briefing provided to President Putin added that works to the other carriageway would cause disruption to road traffic until March 2023.
Replacement of the damaged rail bridge has been contracted for completion by September 2023, although Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister stated the repair timeline would be expedited.
One track is open, but rail transport remains restricted. Repair activity will be heavily dependent on weather conditions through the winter months.
The Crimean bridge attack has disrupted Russian logistics supplies for Crimea and southern Ukraine, reducing Russia’s ability to move military equipment and troops into the area by rail or road.
The damage to the bridge, the recent attack on the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol and the probable withdrawal from Kherson all complicate the Russian government’s ability to paint a picture of military success.

A three-star general will lead a new Army headquarters in Germany that will include about 300 U.S. service members responsible for coordinating security assistance for Ukraine, a senior U.S. military official said this week. Formation of the Security Assistance Group Ukraine, or SAGU, which will be based out of U.S. Army Europe and Africa headquarters in Wiesbaden, was announced Friday.
Now, a lieutenant general will need to be nominated and confirmed as the new headquarters takes shape, the official said Monday. The aim is to have the unit running by early 2023. On Sunday, The New York Times reported that Lt. Gen. Antonio Aguto Jr., head of the First U.S. Army headquarters at Rock Island Arsenal in Illinois, was regarded as a leading candidate for the new job.

The operational update regarding the russian invasion on 18.00, on November 9, 2022
The two-hundred-fifty-ninth (259) 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.
During the current day, the enemy launched 8 missile and 10 air strikes, carried out more than 4 MLRS attacks.
Areas of more than 15 settlements of the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Mykolaiv, and Sumy oblasts were hit by the enemy.
In the Volyn and Polissya directions, the situation remains without significant changes. The republic of belarus continues to support the armed aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine, accepts and hosts russian servicemen, and provides training fields. The formation of a joint russian-belarusian grouping of troops is underway. The threat of enemy strikes and the use of attack UAVs from the territory and airspace of the republic of belarus remains.
The enemy shelled in other directions:
in the Siverskyi direction – from barrel and jet artillery, in the areas of settlements of Novomykolaivka and Ulanove, Sumy oblasts. The enemy also used an attack UAV;
in the Slobozhansk direction – from mortars, rocket and barrel artillery, in the areas of Hryhorivka and Kolodyazne settlements. Attack UAV is used;
in the Kupyansk and Lyman directions – from artillery of various types, in the areas of the settlements of Kupyansk and Bilohorivka;
in the Bakhmut direction – from tanks and the entire range of artillery, in the areas of the settlements of Bilohorivka, Opytne, New York and Pivdenne;

in the Novopavlivsk and Zaporizhzhia directions – from tanks and various caliber artillery, in the areas of Vremivka and Kamianske settlements;
Areas of more than 25 settlements near the contact line were shelled in the South Buh direction. In addition, the enemy continued to conduct aerial reconnaissance, actively using UAVs. Made more than 50 flies.
The moral and psychological condition of mobilized russian citizens undergoing training in the Kursk and Bryansk regions is significantly deteriorating due to the difference between the picture of russian propaganda and the actual situation, inhumane conditions of stay and lack of promised payments.
russian units undergoing training in the area of the city of Baranovichi, Brest region, were issued obsolete weapons and property – metal helmets of the Second World War model and means of protection from the period of the 60-70 years of the last century. In addition, a large part of small arms, namely AK-74 assault rifles, are in non-working condition due to poor storage conditions.
According to detailed information, the russian occupiers are taking away looted property and stolen cars from the city of Severodonetsk, Luhansk oblast. Looting takes place under cover and accompanied by representatives of the occupation’s so-called state security agencies.
During the current day, the aviation of the Defense Forces of Ukraine struck the enemy 4 times. 2 areas of concentration of personnel, weapons and military equipment, as well as 2 positions of the enemy’s anti-aircraft defense equipment, were damaged.
Also, our soldiers shot down 5 „Shakhed“ and 2 „Orlan“ UAVs in different directions.
During the current day, units of missile forces and artillery of the Defense Forces struck 6 areas of concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment, 2 electronic warfare stations and other important military objects of the enemy.
