• Das britische Intel Update:

Militias from the Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) and Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) were formally integrated into the Russian armed forces on 31 December 2022. President Putin presented the formations with their battle colours during a visit to Rostov-on-Don.
Russia claims the LNR and DNR are intrinsic parts of the Russian Federation following the fixed accession referendums of September 2022.
However, it has discreetly controlled both since 2014, creating DNR’s 1st Army Corps and LNR’s 2nd Army Corps and supporting them with Russian military officers.
The status and identities of the DNR and LNR likely remain divisive within the Russian system. Even before the February 2022 invasion, these territories represented a significant drain on Russian finances.
Now the Kremlin has overtly committed to supporting them, they will likely constitute a large political, diplomatic and financial cost for Russia which will last well beyond the current phase of the conflict.

Im Sektor Cherson wurde vor allem die zivile Infrastruktur von Cherson, Tschornobaiwka und Tokariwka durch Artilleriebeschuss beschädigt.
In Kachowka, Region Cherson, versuchen die russischen Besatzer, den Umlauf der ukrainischen Griwna zu verbieten, führen Razzien in Einzelhandelsgeschäften durch und drohen, nicht nur Bargeld, sondern auch Waren zu beschlagnahmen, falls ukrainisches Geld entdeckt wird.
Nach den vorliegenden Informationen haben Mitarbeiter der so genannten Militärkommissariate in Donezk seit dem 1. Januar damit begonnen, Informationen über Bürger, die 2006 geboren wurden, für die militärische Registrierung zu sammeln.
Aufgrund der hohen Effektivität der Feuerkraft der ukrainischen Streitkräfte hat der Feind die Verwaltungs- und Spionageabwehr in Starobilsk in der Region Luhansk verstärkt.
