The work of the conquerors of the fortresses was aimed at including the Seversky Donets River in the defense zone.
The invaders are building defensive anti-tank fortifications (“Wagner Line”) to include the Seversky Donets River in the defense zone and try to prevent rapid counter-offensives by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. About that saying goodbye British Ministry of Defence.
British intelligence recalled that on October 19, the founder of Wagner PPK, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that his team of engineers was building a large fortified “Wagner line” of defense in the Luhansk region occupied by Russia, and published a map showing the planned scope of the project.
The photos show a site of a new anti-tank defense and a system of trenches in the southeast of the Kremennaya Luhansk region.
“If the plans are as ambitious as Prigozhin claims, it is likely that the work aims to include the Seversky Donets River in the defense zone, partially following the 2015 lines of control,” the intelligence report said.
The UK Ministry of Defense believes that Russia is making significant efforts to prepare deep defenses on the current front line, to likely deter any swift Ukrainian counter-offensives.
It will be remembered that earlier the head of Lugansk OVA, Serhiy Gaidai, said that the invaders are building a “Mannerheim Line” in the temporarily occupied territories of the region. Reinforced concrete cubes are placed there and trenches are dug, and occupied settlements are wiped out.
According to Gaidai, the “hottest” section of the front in the Luhansk region is the direction in the Svatovo region.
