Ukrainian border guards start digging anti-tank ditches on the border with Russia
A Ukrainian project to strengthen the border with Russia, called "European Wall" or "Yatsenyuk's Wall," never made it to the Sumy region. The border guards themselves are engaged in the arrangement of the border in this area.
As reported on the official website of the state border service of Ukraine, border guards of the 5th detachment of the Sumy region began digging anti-tank ditches on the border with Russia. In the border detachment, which controls 560 km of the border, a special engineering group has been created, whose task is to equip ditches in "threatening directions". The engineering equipment of both the border guards themselves and other organizations are involved in digging ditches.
Earlier, the Ukrainian border service said that the Yatsenyuk Walls project had sunk into oblivion and instead of the border sections and the wall equipped with modern means of control, which would protect Ukraine from Russia, simple anti-tank ditches have to be dug. In May of this year, it was reported that within the framework of the project, the work was "completed" in the Kharkiv region, in Chernihiv they had just begun, and in Sumy they had not even started, because there was simply no money for it.
Recall that an ambitious project for the construction of protective structures on the border with Russia in 2014 was presented by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Yatsenyuk. Then it was announced that the project "Wall" with a length of 2 thousand kilometers would be implemented within 6 months, but the allocated funds were plundered, and the completion date was first postponed to 2018, then to 2019 and then to 2021. Now the completion of construction has been postponed to 2025 year.
