Ukraine is accelerating the construction of defensive positions, such as anti-tank barriers, trenches, minefields, and strongholds on several frontline areas to reduce the ability of Russian troops to advance and inflict heavy losses in any breakthrough attempts.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces have begun to accelerate the construction of defensive positions in several areas of the frontline. This was reported by UNN with reference to a British intelligence report released by the British Ministry of Defense.

Details

Ukrainian defensive positions include anti-tank "dragon's teeth" and ditches, infantry trenches, minefields and strongholds, the ministry said.

It is noted that the expansion of defensive lines will reduce the ability of the Russian occupation forces to move forward or use tactical advantages in the current offensive operations.

The establishment of the main defensive positions indicates the exhausting nature of the conflict and means that any attempt to conduct a breakthrough operation is likely to be accompanied by heavy losses
