Zitat:Ukraine braced for renewed Russian offensive later in February [...]https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64528580
At a news conference, Oleksiy Reznikov said not all Western weaponry will have arrived by then, but Ukraine had enough reserves to hold off Russian forces.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said troops were fighting fiercely in Bakhmut, Vuhledar and Lyman. Mr Reznikov's comments came hours before it was announced that he was to be replaced as defence minister. [...] Mr Reznikov has denied media reports that some defence officials are suspected of embezzling public funds for the procurement of food for the army. Ukrainian lawmaker David Arakhamia announced the reshuffle on Sunday, saying that "war dictates personnel policies". Mr Reznikov, a familiar face in Ukraine's efforts to secure Western weapons, will now become minister for strategic industries. [...] Mr Reznikov said Ukraine had secured new long-range missiles with a range of 90-mile (150km), but they will not be used against Russian territory - only against Russian units in occupied areas of Ukraine. [...]
The UK's Ministry of Defence said Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut are getting increasingly isolated as the Russians continue to make small advances in its attempt to encircle the town.
Von der eigentlichen Lagebeschreibung, und auch der angespannten Situation in der Ukraine bzw. innerhalb der ukrainischen Führung, einmal abgesehen, finde ich das begleitende Bild dieses BBC-Artikels interessant: Soweit ich es erkennen kann, zeigt es eine PzH 2000 im Feuerkampf, und man kann auch das kurz zuvor abgefeuerte Geschoss erkennen. Möglich, dass das eine Bildreflexion ist, aber wenn man sich den Brandrücksatz am Granatenende anschaut, so handelt es sich hierbei vermutlich um ein 155-mm-Base-Bleed-Geschoss (DM-131?).
