Westliche Unterstützung für die Ukraine (Sanktionen/Waffenlieferungen/Sonstiges)

[Schneemann]

Anscheinend haben die Bulgaren angeboten, beschädigtes ukrainisches Gerät wieder instandzusetzen. Das dürfte bedeuten, dass nicht nur beschädigte ukrainische Panzer wieder in den Einsatz gebracht werden können, sondern dass wahrscheinlich auch der eine oder andere erbeutete russische Panzer auf Seiten dann der Ukrainer zum Einsatz gelangen wird - man muss bedenken, dass die Ukrainer bislang wohl deutlich über 1.000 russische Panzerfahrzeuge erbeutet haben (davon ca. 250 Kampfpanzer).

D. h. während der Bestand der russischen Panzer beständig absinkt, werden die ukrainischen Bestände nicht nur durch die Instandsetzung des eigenen Geräts teilweise wieder aufgefüllt, sondern sie erhalten zudem Lieferungen aus dem Ausland - man denke alleine an die 200 polnischen Tanks - und zudem noch den einen oder anderen reparierten russischen Panzer. Das wird sicher nicht ausreichen, die russische materielle Überlegenheit an schwerem Gerät kurzfristig auszugleichen, aber wer weiß, wie die Front-Kräfteverhältnisse in 3-4 Monaten sich darstellen (?).

Bulgarian Parliament approves decision on repair of Ukrainian tanks and military equipment

According to Interfax-Ukraine on May 4, The Bulgarian Parliament approved the decision to repair Ukrainian military equipment in Bulgarian facilities, the BGNES news agency said: "Parliament gives a mandate to the Council of Ministers to discuss and implement measures related to the war in Ukraine, including the repair of military equipment for Ukraine," BGNES said on its website on Wednesday. Some 200 MPs voted in favor, while 16 voted against and one abstained. [...]

After the installment of a Communist government the same year, the country started a process of massive industrialization but continued to import equipment. By the 1980s a large part of the equipment came from local suppliers. In the late 1980s exports reached about $800 mln. annually, trade partners being mostly Egypt, Algeria, Angola, North Korea, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Cuba and Vietnam. After the loss of the Warsaw Pact and secondary markets, surplus weapons, as well as newly manufactured items, were illicitly exported to a variety of countries and rebel groups across Africa and Asia. Industrial know-how remains in the country, enabling it to repair damaged Ukrainian equipment (tanks, armored vehicles, etc.), as well as captured Russian tanks.

Deutschland will sieben PzH2000 und die Niederlande wollen fünf weitere liefern:

Ukraine to get a dozen howitzers from Germany and the Netherlands

WASHINGTON — Training is set to begin in Germany next week for Ukrainian soldiers on the Panzerhaubitze 2000 howitzer, after officials confirmed Friday that the Dutch and German governments approved sending 12 of the heavy weapons to the fight. [...] Speaking at a news conference in Sliač, central Slovakia, German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht called the number of howitzers to be sent “militarily sensible.” Seven will come from Germany’s arsenal, taken from the maintenance pool rather than active Bundeswehr units, she said. The Dutch will provide five of the 155mm weapons. [...]

Lambrecht and her counterparts from the Netherlands and Slovakia, Kajsa Ollongren and Jaroslav Naď, respectively, gathered in Sliač on Friday to discuss a joint effort to station Patriot air defense units there. The goal, they said, is protect NATO’s eastern front while the war rages in neighboring Ukraine. Aided heavily by the Americans, the Dutch and German armed forces each sent a Patriot unit for an initial duration of six months.

Und anscheinend haben die Iraner umgekehrt wohl Waffen an die Russen geliefert (Meldungen von Mitte April):

Iran’s military helping smuggle weapons from Iraq to Russia: Report [...]

Iranian networks have been working to smuggle weapons from Iraq to Russia as Moscow’s plans to quickly invade Ukraine’s capital and topple the government failed to succeed, according to intelligence and sources familiar with the matter.

Among the weapons being transferred to Russia are Iran’s Bavar 373 missile system, the Guardian reported late Monday night. [...] Iraq’s Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), also known as Ḥashd al-Shaabi, reportedly dismantled and sent two Brazilian-designed Astros II rocket-launcher systems to Iran on April 1, the Guardian said.

The PMF sent rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank missiles to Iran through the Salamja border crossing on March 26. From there, the Iranian military transferred the weapons to Russia by sea, the report cited a commander of the Iran-backed militia as saying. [...] The Pentagon said it did not have any comment “as this would be related to intelligence assessments.”
