Eine Kriegserklärung Russlands nur gegen Deutschland ist damit gar nicht möglich, es wäre sofort ein Krieg der gesamten EU gegen Russland.

Zitat:Leaked Pentagon documents provide rare window into depth of US intelligence on allies and foes

(CNN) — Highly classified Pentagon documents leaked online in recent weeks have provided a rare window into how the US spies on allies and foes alike, deeply rattling US officials, who fear the revelations could jeopardize sensitive sources and compromise important foreign relationships. Some of the documents, which US officials say are authentic, expose the extent of US eavesdropping on key allies, including South Korea, Israel and Ukraine.

Others reveal the degree to which the US has penetrated the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Russian mercenary organization Wagner Group, largely through intercepted communications and human sources, which could now be cut off or put in danger. Still others divulge key weaknesses in Ukrainian weaponry, air defense, and battalion sizes and readiness at a critical point in the war, as Ukrainian forces gear up to launch a counteroffensive against the Russians – and just as the US and Ukraine have begun to develop a more mutually trusting relationship over intelligence-sharing.

Ukraine has already altered some of its military plans because of the leak, a source close to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN. [...] “The Department of Defense continues to review and assess the validity of the photographed documents that are circulating on social media sites and that appear to contain sensitive and highly classified material,” Singh said in a statement. “An interagency effort has been stood up, focused on assessing the impact these photographed documents could have on U.S. national security and on our Allies and partners.” [...] The documents appeared online last month on the social media platform Discord, according to screenshots of the posts reviewed by CNN. The posts are photos of crumpled documents laid on top of magazines and surrounded by other random objects, such as zip-close bags and Gorilla Glue. It is as if they had been hastily folded up and shoved into a pocket before being removed from a secure location, a source familiar with these kinds of documents told CNN. [...]

One document reveals that the US has been spying on Zelensky. That is unsurprising, said the source close to Zelensky, but Ukrainian officials are deeply frustrated about the leak. The US intelligence report, which is sourced to signals intelligence, says that Zelensky in late February “suggested striking Russian deployment locations in Russia’s Rostov Oblast” using unmanned aerial vehicles, since Ukraine does not have long-range weapons capable of reaching that far. [...]

Mykhailo Podolyak, the adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said on his Telegram channel Friday that he believes the documents that have been disseminated are inauthentic, have “nothing to do with Ukraine’s real plans” and are based on “a large amount of fictitious information” disseminated by Russia.

Zitat:Ukraine Situation Report: Both Sides Rationing Shells Ahead Of Kyiv’s Counteroffensive

Although shelling continues, artillery units are saving rounds they expect to desperately need sooner rather than later. [...]

Artillery units on both sides of the line, despite the continued duels, are reportedly dialing back fire missions to save up ammunition for the long-awaited Ukrainian counteroffensive. Russian milblogger Alexander Khodakovsky claims that those Russian units not involved in ongoing offensives have had ammunition supplies seriously curtailed. Khodakovsky attributed the rationing to concerns about the potential offensive. [...]

At the same time, a frontline account from The Washington Post highlighted Ukrainian artillery crews similarly conserving shells. While embedded with an artillery platoon in Ukraine’s 56th Motorized Brigade, Isabelle Khurshudyan and Kamila Hrabchuk reported the unit’s 152mm howitzers used to fire more than 20-30 shells a day. That number has dwindled to fewer than three. [...] The nearby units equipped with NATO 155mm caliber guns are reportedly facing less of a shortage than the Warsaw Pact-era guns. Citing an anonymous Ukrainian military official, the report claimed Ukraine is still firing 7,700 shells a day. Russian shelling reportedly dwarfs even that figure. Ukraine’s incredible artillery consumption remains a concern for NATO as Western production lines struggle to keep supplies moving. [...] Each day that the Ukrainian ground firms draws the counteroffensive nearer. These are the latest signs that even as the battle for Bakhmut grinds on, Ukraine and Russia are looking ahead to the next major engagement.

Pentagon-Leaks: US-Verbündeter wollte Russland Raketen liefern

Berichte über Munitionsmangel in Russlands Angriffskrieg sind nichts Neues: Mit Ägypten soll der Kreml US-Geheimdienstdokumenten zufolge einen neuen Lieferanten für Raketen gefunden haben. Allerdings kann laut US-Regierungsbeamten die Echtheit der Dokumente nicht garantiert werden. [...] Der ägyptische Präsident Abdel Fatah El-Sisi hat demnach kürzlich angewiesen, bis zu 40.000 Raketen zu produzieren, die heimlich nach Russland geliefert werden sollen. Das berichtet die "Washington Post". Ägypten zählt zu den engsten Verbündeten der USA im Nahen Osten, über Jahre hatte die US-Regierung Milliarden Dollar als Militärhilfe bereitgestellt. [...]

Auf die Dokumente angesprochen, erklärte der ägyptische Botschafter, Ahmed Abu Zeid, sein Land werde weiterhin zu beiden Seiten die gleiche Distanz wahren und die UN-Charta unterstützen. "Wir fordern beide Parteien weiterhin auf, die Feindseligkeiten einzustellen und eine politische Lösung durch Verhandlungen zu erreichen", sagte er. [...]

Moskau und Kairo haben in letzter Zeit mehrere bedeutende Verträge abgeschlossen, darunter ein Abkommen, das Russland in diesem Jahr zum Bau einer großen Eisenbahnproduktion in Ägypten verpflichtete. Zudem hatte Rosatom, das staatliche russische Atomenergieunternehmen, im vergangenen Jahr mit dem Bau des ersten ägyptischen Kernkraftwerks begonnen.

Zitat:Ukraine able to resume electricity exports after six-month gap - minister

April 7 (Reuters) - Ukraine can now resume exporting electricity after a six-month gap, given the success of repairs carried out after repeated Russian attacks, Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said on Friday. Last October, Ukraine halted exports of electricity to the European Union - its main export market for energy since the war began - following Russia strikes on energy infrastructure. [...]

"The next step is to resume electricity exports, which will allow us to attract additional financial resources for the necessary reconstruction of destroyed and damaged electricity infrastructure," he continued. Halushchenko - thanking engineers and international partners for the "titanic work" they had done to repair the system - said he had signed an executive document allowing electricity exports to restart, given the surplus of domestic supply. [...] "Electricity exports will continue to operate provided Ukrainian consumers are supplied with electricity - and may be suspended if the situation changes," said Halushchenko.

Zitat: Ukraine will soon be dependent on what the American and European arms industries can manufacture (...). Currently, America can make about 180.000 155mm shells a year, while Europe, according to Bastian Giegerich of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a think tank, produced about 300.000 last year. All told, that amounts to barely three months consumption for Ukraine.
