Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 7. Dezember 2022 (Update: aktualisierte deutsche Lieferliste)

Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der Sammler am 7. Dezember 2022:

• Update: die Bundesregierung hat die Liste der militärischen Unterstützungsleistungen für die Ukraine aktualisiert – interessant sind dabei vor allem die neu aufgeführten Radhaubitzen RCH 155, die die Bundeswehr selbst – noch? – nicht besitzt. Allerdings war die Lieferung dieser Geschütze bereits im September von der Bundesregierung genehmigt worden, wie die Welt (Link aus bekannten Gründen nicht) damals berichtet hatte. Warum sie jetzt neu auf der Liste stehen, ist nicht klar.

Am (heutigen) Mittwoch kamen laut jüngster Übersicht hinzu:

Geliefert:
50 Allschutz-Transport-Fahrzeuge Dingo (zuvor: 30)
12 Schwerlastsattelzüge M1070 Oshkosh* (zuvor: 10)

neu zugesagt:
18 Radhaubitzen RCH 155*
80 Pick-up*
100 Drohnenabwehrsensoren und -jammer* (zuvor: 10)
2 Hangar-Zelte*
7 LKW 8×6 mit Wechselladesystem*

(mit * markierte Posten kommen von der Industrie)

• Der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin hat das Land auf einen langen Krieg in der Ukraine eingestimmt – sieht aber derzeit keine Notwendigkeit, mehr Soldaten einzuberufen. Aus der Zusammenfassung von Putins Aussagen vor dem russischen Menschenrechtsrat in der New York Times:

President Vladimir V. Putin said on Wednesday that Russia’s war effort in Ukraine “might be a long process.” But despite mounting fears within Russia that the Kremlin might draft another wave of fighters, he said that as of now there was no need to mobilize more troops.
Speaking at a meeting with members of the Kremlin’s human rights council — a loyal group of journalists, activists and public figures — Mr. Putin said that half of the 300,000 civilians conscripted to fight in Ukraine as part of a call-up announced in September were still training outside combat zones. About 77,000 of them are currently engaged in fighting in Ukraine, he said, with the rest serving in territorial defense units or training.“In these conditions, the talk about some additional mobilization efforts make no sense,” the Russian leader said. “There is no need for this for the state and for the Defense Ministry.”

• Das britische Intel Update:

Russia has recently started extending defensive positions along its international border with Ukraine, and deep inside its Belgorod region. On 6 December 2022, the governor of Belgorod announced he was establishing local ‘self-defence units’.
Trench digging has been reported in Belgorod since at least April 2022, but the new constructions are probably more elaborate systems, designed to rebuff mechanised assault.
There is a realistic possibility that the Russian authorities are promoting defensive preparations within internationally recognised Russian territory to burnish patriotic feeling.
However, it probably illustrates some Russia decision-makers’ genuine (but false) belief that there is a credible threat of invasion by Ukrainian forces.
Paucity in strategic assessment is one of the critical weaknesses in the central Russian government architecture: as highlighted by Russia’s original decision to invade Ukraine.
Impartial official analysis is almost certainly frequently undermined by a tendency toward group-think and politically expedient conclusions.

Operational update regarding russian invasion as of 06.00, December 7, 2022
The two hundred eighty-seventh (287) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to the russian military large-scale invasion continues.

In other directions, it tries to hold the temporarily captured territories, concentrates its efforts on restraining the actions of units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, equips defensive lines and positions, conducts reconnaissance.
Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces have repelled attacks by occupiers in the areas of the settlements of Bilohorivka in the Luhansk oblast and Verkhnyokamianske, Spirne, Yakovlivka, Bakhmut, Bila Hora, Kurdyumivka, Novobakhmutivka, Maryinka and Novomykhailivka in the Donetsk oblast.

The threat of enemy missile strikes on the objects of the energy system and critical infrastructure throughout the territory of Ukraine remains in the future.
In the Volyn and Polissya directions, the situation has not changed significantly, and no signs of the formation of enemy offensive groups have been detected. Enemy units are being trained on the training grounds of the republic of belarus. This country continues to support the armed aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine, providing territory and airspace for launching missile and air strikes.
Dissatisfaction with the activities of the military-political leadership of belarus is growing among the soldiers of the border service and the armed forces of this country, due to the threat of involving the republic in a war with Ukraine.
In the Siverskyi direction, the enemy carried out artillery and mortar attacks on the settlements of Hremyach in Chernihiv oblast and Esman, Pavlivka, Kindrativka, Zapsillia and Myropillya in Sumy oblast.
In the direction of Slobozhansk, the areas of the settlements of Strilecha, Krasne, Ternova, Ohirtseve, Starytsa, Hatyshche, Vovchanski Khutory, Volohivka, Chuhunivka and Kamianka of the Kharkiv oblast were shelled by tanks, mortars and barrel artillery.

Among them are Vremivka and Novopil of Donetsk oblast and Olhivske, Dorozhnyanka, Hulyaipole, Zaliznychne, Stepove and Plavni of Zaporizhzhia oblast.

These are, in particular, Osokorivka, Zolota Balka, Dudchany, Antonivka, Bilohrudove of the Kherson region, Kherson and Mykolaiv.
The enemy continues to suffer losses. The number of dead occupiers among those mobilized in the Kursk region is increasing, as evidenced by local mass media. In addition, due to information about human losses, the war in Ukraine is less and less supported by the younger generation of russians. Rumors about a possible invasion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are spreading in the city of Kursk and the region. In connection with this, the fortification equipment of defensive positions in the border areas with Ukraine continues.
