Tyska trupper i Ukraina? För CDU-mannen Kiesewetter är detta obligatoriskt
CDU:s säkerhetspolitiker Roderich Kiesewetter anser att det inte finns något alternativ till att sätta in Bundeswehr-soldater i Ukraina efter krigets slut. "Som det ekonomiskt starkaste landet i Europa måste Tyskland vara beredd att ge ett stort bidrag till fredsbevarandet och den europeiska säkerhetsarkitekturen", säger Kiesewetter
Ur hans synvinkel är Tyskland skyldigt att engagera sig i Ukraina "med robust utrustade trupper" i sinom tid. Att utesluta det vore oaktsamt.
Kiesewetter fortsatte att det tyska engagemanget måste ske inom ramen för EU och Nato. "En fredsbevarande styrka är effektiv och, med tanke på våra begränsade materiella och mänskliga resurser i Europa, realistisk när fredsbevarande kan prisas in i den europeiska och transatlantiska säkerhetsarkitekturen och därmed i Nato, eftersom den nukleära skyddsskölden även gäller Ukraina."

Explained: Situation near Pokrovsk and possible threat to Dnipro region
The Russian army is approaching Pokrovsk from the southern flank and is already 7 kilometers away from the administrative border of the Donetsk and Dnipro regions. Western media are already predicting fights in the Dnipro region in a few weeks, but Ukraine says it is too early to consider such scenarios.
The enemy's goal is not to enter Pokrovsk itself, but rather they will try to conduct an encompassing operation, that is, to surround the city,”

Forbes: Russian soldiers abandon tank attacks as Ukrainian drones force new infantry tactics
Russian forces abandon tank attacks for infantry tactics due to Ukrainian drone effectiveness, but the adaptation creates new challenges for Ukraine’s stretched military resources.

Since the beginning of the year, the Russian army has captured eight villages south of the city of Pokrovsk. According to BILD military analyst Julian Röpcke, the war could spill into the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast within weeks—Russian forces are now only seven kilometers away from the region.

As Ukraine’s New Leopard 2 Brigade Disintegrates, The Russians Advance On Pokrovsk
To salvage the 155th Mechanized Brigade, a unit that Ukraine, France and Poland spent months and millions of dollars training and equipping, Ukrainian leaders have begun assigning its fresh but inexperienced subordinate units to the weary but experienced brigades in the Pokrovsk sector.

According to CDS, the Russians are strongest where the Ukrainians are weakest: just outside Pokrovsk in the area garrisoned by the 59th Motorized Brigade. “The greatest threat across the entire southeastern flank of the front currently comes from the operational-tactical breakthrough of the enemy south of Pokrovsk,” the group reported.

If the 59th Motorized Brigade and any troops and vehicles it might gain from the 155th Mechanized can’t halt the Russians, the garrison in Pokrovsk could soon find itself partially surrounded. That would be an ominous development for the Ukrainians in what is shaping up to be the first big battle of 2025.
