"Second Defense Line": Russians dig trenches around Tokmak - Britain's intelligence
According to intelligence, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation deploy additional checkpoints and anti-tank defense around the city, as well as dig new trenches in the area that holds the 58th All-Military Army. "Tokmak is preparing to become a core of Russia's second main defense line.
