NEU — Die Ukraine hat Geheimdienst-Informationen erhalten, dass Russland eine neue Bodenoffensive aus Belarus gegen die Hauptstadt Kyiv und Tschernihiw plant, während Moskau Drohnen- und Raketenangriffe auf Städte im ganzen Land verstärkt — POLITICO Pawlo Palisa, der stellvertretende Leiter des Präsidialamts der Ukraine, erklärte am Samstag gegenüber Reportern, dass das russische Militärkommando vom Kreml mit der Planung und Vorbereitung von Angriffen auf die beiden Städte beauftragt worden sei, basierend auf von der Hauptdirektion für Aufklärung der Ukraine erhaltenen und verifizierten Geheimdienstinformationen. Bisher gebe es nach Palisas Aussage keine Anzeichen dafür, dass russische Bodentruppen in Belarus und Westrussland für eine solche Operation zusammenziehen, aber die Priorität der Ukraine sei es, „die Schaffung von Bedingungen zu verhindern, die es den Russen ermöglichen könnten, überhaupt irgendwelche neuen Offensivaktionen zu starten.“ Zu Beginn der großangelegten russischen Invasion im Februar 2022 unternahmen russische Bodentruppen einen Angriff auf Kyiv, der teilweise aus dem benachbarten Belarus gestartet wurde, der sich jedoch letztlich in den Nachschublinien verhedderte, bevor er von den Streitkräften der Ukraine zerschlagen und zurückgeschlagen wurde. https://t.co/Mj9TiA0RsE #Ukraine #Russland #Kyiv
