“New fortifications have been built in the Kyiv region, “which are ready for service and use in defense tasks,” said acting head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration (OVA) Mykola Kalashnyk. According to Kalashnyk, “this weekend he conducted an inspection of construction works of military engineering and fortification facilities in the Kyiv region.” As he said, “the works were carried out under the coordination of the military command and are currently ready for service.” “It was the defenders who determined where, what and how it should be built for maximum effectiveness in deterring the enemy. Strategically important structures will become a reliable shield of the region. Such systematic work strengthens the defense capability of the region and increases the security of the residents of Kyiv region,” he added. Fortifications are engineering structures erected to protect territories, military facilities or settlements from attack. They may include fortifications, bastions, bunkers, trenches, defensive walls and other structures that make it difficult to access strategic objects and increase defense capability. Earlier, the President’s Office stated that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, anti-tank ditches, barrier fences and platoon strongholds with firing positions were built in Volyn. According to the government, from the beginning of 2024, as of April, almost 38 billion hryvnias were allocated from the state budget to strengthen the defense lines. Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is building three lines of defense along the entire front line and on the border with Belarus. ”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
