Ukraine digs 230 km of anti-tank ditches on border with Russia
Some 230 kilometers of anti-tank ditches were dug, 32 observation towers were erected, and 115 kilometers of lateral routes were constructed, in the Kharkiv and Chernihiv regions, near the Ukrainian-Russian border, last year, says a report on the fulfillment of the Ukrainian government's program in 2015.
A metal fence was installed along 72 kilometers of the border, nine fire positions for ten men and five strongholds were built, and seven more units were deployed in the Kharkiv and Chernihiv regions in 2015.
The government also reported the procurement of four combat modules based on a lightly armored platform, Triton, and the installation of an optical-electronic observation system in the Derhachi district of the Kharkiv region.
The state budget assigned UAH 400 million for the works, and all the funds were spent, the government said in its report.
