svizhak svizhak it was dug up recently and together with experts we analyzed how reliable our fortifications should be for operation exclusive from the ukrainian-belarusian border , despite the fact that reports of a possible invasion of ukraine by belarus have become less and less in recent months, the threat has not disappeared and ukraine is already building a second line of fortifications and minefields on the border with the republic of belarus, and we are going west to inspect it and see a combat pickup truck with soldiers quickly gathers and goes straight to the position now a group of military personnel is working on liquidating the saboteurs who landed. here they are, and they are promptly on their way to the scene of the incident. now we will see how it will look like: automatic rounds of sniper work with the addition of a machine gun . this is how the ukrainian military prepares for the possible penetration of enemy formations from the side of the belarusian border. the main task for today is to practice actions during the offensive and to consolidate shooting skills , they are training because they say the threat of the invasion of invaders from belarus has not disappeared anywhere and the activity on the border is quite high, it threatens never, er, it will not work as long as russia is there, they are constantly studying our positions, we are making, er, second positions, false positions , we do everything to deceive our enemy, everything or the way to the border is now quite long, every few kilometers of concrete blocks around mined fields, the geography of the border here is very different from what we have in the chernihiv and kyiv regions , there are no water borders here, such as the dnipro or pripyat, here the border is land, but it is very swampy, this area is clogged with such ponds, fairly dense forests and constantly mined, new and new mine engineering barriers were built, and as a result , practically everything was mined here in the last year, and this made this area extremely difficult for potential enemy groups to cross with a huge embankment to avoid extra eyes and provocations from the belarusian side right behind these embankments, there is already zero border between the republic of ukraine and belarus, despite the fact that provocations from that side are at a minimum, engineering mini barriers here are constantly being improved, new ones are being created and built new defensive fortifications are 2 km, that's how far the defensive fortifications will soon be expanded along the entire border line with belarus, where possible trenches are being dug , and other constructions of fortifications are also being built for years, and some of them, which are defenders of time, have not been built , engineering and fortification structures have been built that allow 24 at 7 to monitor with the help of video cameras and thermal imaging cameras to constantly monitor the area both on land and in air space and once again they hang such an enclosure of mannequins, they say they scare invaders , a psychological factor is real, a second line of defense is already being built near the border. this is how everything looked at the end of january, when the facts of the week came here to see how the fortifications were being built. and this is how it is now. the weather changes the landscape e-e we camouflage we clean we make spare positions we make waste spare lines of departure of the ward so that there is communication of the entrance and exit to provide ammunition or or wounded soldiers, the better. practice in donbas has shown how it works. we can now see violence and it is hard to find in the donetsk region. and this is due to the fact that the defense line has been built there since 2014, and if the russian occupiers have exactly that, they will return to the northern bridgehead , although this is a risk and a minimal view. but if this happens, there was full combat readiness , the logic of erecting such defense lines is simple , the enemy cannot break through these positions in the field , so he will be forced to advance through narrow the roads of which, for example, in polissia, are few and all of them are well shot and have mined bridges, this will make it as difficult as possible to advance from the coat of arms , and rather even stop it, but this trench in svizhakyou can see it in general, it was made literally a few days ago, gradually the whole ukraine, the belarusian border is overgrown with such defensive lines and the density of these barriers is constantly increasing, but this is a semi-finished state, as they say, then it becomes like this. and this is the next stage of ideas after the position is built and they begin to equip it as for example, here, that is, they sheathe it with wood so that it is stronger. so that it does not fall apart and it is comfortable to work here , they equip individual places for fighters , for example, this is the place of a sniper with a tree . sometimes local entrepreneurs help , that is, in this way, the defense gradually becomes not only reliable, but also comfortable, but the enemy he doesn't let you relax, he says the fighters are constantly trying to reconnoitre the situation near the border to us here, the drones didn't fly from there , the regulator, fly, yes, on the roads, it's clear, they fly, not
