Ukraine's defense forces have prepared several defense lines in Kharkiv region. However, due to shelling of the border area, the fortifications were built outside the "gray zone". This was stated by the head of the Center for Defense, Defense Forces officer Andriy Kovalenko, UNN reports .
Details
Kovalenko explains that the defense lines could not be built in the area where active hostilities are currently taking place, as this territory is in close proximity to the border and is being shelled by the enemy.
It is impossible to build defensive lines directly on the border with the enemy. Because all the equipment and engineers would simply be destroyed by the enemy. There are defense lines in the Kharkiv region, several reliable lines. Soon the authorized persons will tell you more about them
According to him, the manipulations around the fortifications in Kharkiv region are a continuation of Russian IPSO to discredit the military leadership of Ukraine in order to provoke a split between local and central authorities, spread panic and cause a drop in morale among the Armed Forces units.
The ministry adds that the situation in Kharkiv region has escalated significantly, but currently the fighting is exclusively in the border area, and the Ukrainian Defense Forces are doing everything to hold their defensive lines and positions.
