By KYIV. Dec 20 (Interfax-Ukraine) – In recent weeks, Ukraine has mobilized a concerted effort to improve field fortifications as its forces pivot to a more defensive posture along much of the frontline, the British intelligence note.
“This follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s calls, from late November 2023, for faster fortification in key sectors. In one part of the project, Ukraine has worked to improve defences along its border wit Belarus with dragon’s teeth, razor wire, and anti-tank ditches as of mid-December 2023,” according to a report published on Tuesday on the social network X of the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
In its turn, Russia, as noted, continues local offensive options in several sectors, but individual attacks are rarely above platoon size. “A major Russian breakthrough is unlikely and overall, the front is characterized by stasis,” the report reads.
