Construction of fortifications in Ukraine
Even before the situation on the front, especially in the east, escalated, Ukrainian defense forces tirelessly engaged in round-the-clock construction of fortifications.
On May 2, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy chaired a meeting, one of the topics of which was precisely the readiness of fortification lines in border regions and in active combat zones.
In March 2024, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Lieutenant General Ivan Havryliuk mentioned the biggest challenge during the construction of defense lines.
