"Fortifications" were "sleeping. Who is to blame for the rapid promotion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation by Avdiivka and how to solve the problem

The battle for Avdiivka was considered one of the most difficult during a full -scale war with Russia. Since 2014, the city has been transformed into a solid fortress, but behind it fortifications are weaker. Some politicians say they simply do not, and in the third year they did not appear. The line of defense west of Avdiivka is a rare and primitive trenches without powerless fortifications that slow down the course of Russian tanks.

The defense gap will cost territorial losses: now the Russian army is slowly but steadily moving behind Avdiivka, the reporters of The New York Times said. According to the DeepState analysts team on May 7, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have already advanced near Novoprovsky. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence did not comment on the state of fortifications under Avdiivka.

At the moment, there is no information about such a question, the focus of the Committee, the People's Deputy Fedir Venislavsky, answered briefly. The lines of defense behind Avdiivka, according to the People's Deputy from the "servant of the people" Marian Bezugla, was built by any commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from 2014 to the present.

It is Viktor Muzhenko (was in office from July 3, 2014 to May 21, 2019), Ruslana Khomchak (from March 27, 2020 to July 27, 2021), Valery Zaluzhny (from July 27, 2021 to February 8, 2024) and The current head of Alexander Sirsky. "The struggle is not only in the country with the Russians, but also for the modern army with general factions and a distorted post -Soviet culture," she indicated. The General Staff of the Armed Forces often shows photos and videos of defense structures.

Their structure includes concrete "dragon teeth", deep trenches, moats and trenches. Indeed, after the loss of Avdiivka, Kiev accelerated the arrangement of fortifications, which was confirmed even by British military intelligence. However, often the video of the General Staff is more reminiscent of the information, not the real combat component.

It is not always possible to give the Ukrainian viewer in the Ukrainian viewer, the clips are removed in both Kharkiv and the rest of the Donetsk region - temporarily distant from the front line, says military expert Oleg Zhdanov. "Journalists in full height in bulletproof vests go by trenches, while not hearing the work of artillery, explosions.

It is very far from the front line, and where Russian shells arrive, the situation is more pitiful: the infantryman has to fight, at the same time to take a spade and dig trenches. for the army, "he says. Zhdanov focuses on the late response of the authorities - only in 2023 Kiev mentioned that defense borders were needed for every 10 kilometers. Such a careless attitude will have consequences for the country. But not all representatives of the Armed Forces agree with such estimates.

The continuation of the process of construction of fortifications in Donetsk region, in particular according to Avdiivka, confirmed in a conversation with the focus of the presenter of the 47th separate mechanized brigade (OMBR) Anastasia Blyshchyk. "What I see personally, the protective lines are still building. We ride and see, construction is not stopped in principle. As far as they are made, I am difficult for me to evaluate, I am not a specialist in this matter.

Ocoups are covered with forests, engineers have their secrets And the tricks that will help save the life of the Ukrainian military, but it is already from the field of military secrets, " - says the military. Experts involve special equipment in the work, where it does not pass, dig shovels. The Pokrovsky direction also strengthens positions. Zhdanov estimates, after Avdiivka, the following defensive structures should run along the Karlovsky Reservoir. Another line of defense is Pokrovsk.

"With Avdiivka really did not have time. No one expected such a rapid fall of the city, then did not have time to build lines of defense. When our troops came there, Russia threw strength in the attack in different directions, which led to a breakthrough of defense. ", - comments the analyst. Zhdanov says that engineering troops are trying to work in the Avdeevsky direction, but in general, defensive borders are far from perfection.

Specialists from construction companies are afraid to involve because of proximity to the war zone: trenches dig under the fire of the enemy. We will remind, recently it became known that the forces of Ukraine have improved their tactical position in the estuary direction. The situation is fully controlled around the city of the Armed Forces, spoke spokesman of the operative-strategic group of Khortytsa troops Nazar Voloshin.
