Either we will check the condition of the protective structures of all Ukraine, or will do it occupiers - the expert on fortification (video)

There is a fact: every day there is a promotion of Russians, which expand the territory of their presence in the north of the Kharkiv region approximately 100 square kilometers. This was stated in an interview with Focus by a military expert and former SBU employee Ivan Stupak. He noted that there are gray areas where there are no occupiers, but they control the territory with fire.

There are no reports that there are no defensive structures under Vovchansk, which the Ukrainian military was expecting, are made by the Armed Forces themselves, and they do not make sense to "expel betrayal". "Of course, there is a statement from local authorities that the proper fortifications are somewhere there, in depth, because it was difficult to build serious structures before the first line of defense of the Russians," Stupak notes.

"Well then the question arises: how the Russians built their own in the Zaporozhye region Fortification structures in front of our nose? ”. The military expert reminds that in December 2023, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Mr Synigubov reported that all construction was completed 98%. Stupak says he personally talked with fighters in Kharkiv region and they said that they did not see those structures that officials report.

"If now here, here in this area of ​​the front, we see that there are problems with fortification structures, then we must call into question the words of all our officials in the previous half a year," Stupak emphasizes. "They say that in the north of Ukraine we have in us. Everything is interrupted at the border with Belarus, but in the question of the Dnipropetrovsk region, in the question of Zaporizhzhya region.

According to the expert, it is not necessary to "cut from the shoulder" immediately and to release all the management of Kharkiv OVA, but urgently need to correct all the mistakes. There are many of them, because the invaders continue the offensive, and in the Ukrainian press there are investigations into money laundering, military people say that there are no protective structures.

"The question is: Who is guilty of this? Local administration? Contractors have failed? Who has erected money? There are also materials about the involvement of Ova Synigubova's head there, but I will not comment on it," Stupak says. "Just if there are any such shameful facts , then it is urgent to do something, to change these people, to clean, to open criminal proceedings and to appoint new experts who should cope with it.

" Stupak notes that in society there is a discussion that the military forced to sign the acts of performed works on fortifications. And this despite the fact that such objects were ready by only 30%. Everything looked great on the papers, and there were no structures. We will remind, on May 14 a serviceman of the 57th separate infantry brigade (OMBR) named after the cat chieftain Kostya Gordienko criticized the state of defense lines in Kharkiv region.
