Construction of a second line of fortifications in the Kharkiv region on the Russian border began this month. This is already the third stage of construction, during which hundreds of fortifications with kilometers long trenches are being built.
“This type of construction is being carried out for the first time in our country, as these are new, recently developed projects of the Ministry of Defense. And here we have geotextiles, pipes and everything possible to make it last for more than one year. We are currently demining half of the places where such fortifications will be built “We cannot start the work until we receive the demining certificates from the sappers,” said Oleh Sinehubov, head of the Kharkiv Military Regional Administration.
To prevent landslides, special nets are attached to the edges of the trenches, while bunkers and weapons shelters are located underground as deep as five meters.
About 30 civilian companies are building fortifications in the region, and workers will be provided with social guarantees. The work is indeed difficult and dangerous, for example, two people were killed and six others were injured in the shooting in the Kupyansk sector.
CONTEXT:
Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked large-scale invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, the Kremlin’s propaganda brazenly promised to capture Kyiv in three days, but the selfless and strong resistance of the Ukrainians prevented the Kremlin from realizing its plans.
After the setbacks, the Kremlin withdrew the army from the Kyiv region, but continued the offensive in other regions. In the summer of 2023, Ukraine launched a counter-offensive, but it was not successful and Kyiv blamed it both on the insufficient supply of weapons from the Western allies and on the extensive defense line and extensive minefields created by the Russian army.
