Ukraine has accelerated construction of defenses at front – UK intelligence

Ukrainian forces began to accelerate the construction of defensive positions, the latest UK intelligence report states.

Ukrainian defense positions include anti-tank "dragon's teeth" and ditches, infantry trenches, minefields, and strongholds.

The expansion of defense lines will reduce the ability of the Russian forces to move forward, and 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."

Ukraine's defense ministry showed the construction of fortifications in the Zaporizhzhia and Sumy region.

Russian forces have become more active in almost all areas of the frontline, trying to move further away from Avdiivka, and in Bakhmut to regain lost ground.

The Ukrainian military has already demonstrated the process of building defensive structures and fence lines on the northern border with Russia.
