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

Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der Sammler am 28. Dezember 2022:

• Das britische Intel Update:

In recent days, Russia has likely reinforced the Kremina sector of its frontline in Luhansk Oblast, as it comes under continued pressure from Ukrainian operations.
Kremina has been relatively vulnerable since Ukrainian forces advanced through the town of Lyman, to the west, in October.
Russia has constructed extensive new defences in the area and will likely prioritise holding the line here.
The area is logistically important for Russia’s Donbas front and it is also a significant town in Luhansk Oblast; the Kremlin claims that the ‘liberation’ of this area is a core justification for the war.
