The post states that rubble foundations are being created at the sites of future firing points and dugouts. Reinforced concrete structures are widely used. Now they are waterproofed to protect them from the negative effects of rainwater and sewage, vapors, etc. Such structures should keep the defense strong and reliable, providing protection for the military.

Contractors dug more than 42 km of anti-tank ditches.

We are also increasing the number of tetrahedrons — special concrete pyramids, of which more than 11,000 have already been installed.

In the Kyiv region, they continue to strengthen the defense

As noted by Kyiv OVA, border protection is one of the main goals of security policy today.

Fortifications include:

  • an extensive system of trenches, dugouts and other types of shelters;

  • installation of barriers. We are talking about "dragon's teeth", anti-tank ditches and more.

It is noted that almost 10,000 concrete pyramids have already been installed. Anti-tank ditches have also been installed.

Construction of fortifications under constant control. This week, a meeting of the working group "Transparency and Accountability" was held with the participation of representatives of all law enforcement agencies, the military and contractors involved in this process. There is only one requirement for everyone: quality, compliance with deadlines and effective use of funds, — said the head of OVA, Ruslan Kravchenko.
