Ukraine is actively strengthening its northern front, building a large-scale defensive line that will stretch from the Kyiv Reservoir all the way to Sumy. The main goal is to prevent a new offensive from Russia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was stated by<\/a> the Chief of the Engineering Troops of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Support Forces Command, Brigadier General Vasyl Syrotenko, in a comment to Ukrinform.<\/p>\n

According to him, Sumy has already managed to prepare a serious defense with several lines of defense.<\/p>\n

“In a short period of time, we managed to create a truly echeloned and stable defense. This is visible – even from space you can watch it being built,” he noted.<\/p>\n

In parallel, construction of a continuous defensive line is underway on a large area from the Kyiv Reservoir to Sumy. These are not separate fortifications, but a complex system in which significant resources are being invested.<\/p>\n

As explained by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this line must solve several tasks at once: to prevent a sudden attack from the north, to prevent the enemy from creating a “buffer zone”, and to prevent Ukrainian forces from being pushed away from the border.<\/p>\n

“We are doing everything to build this defense as soon as possible, involving maximum forces and resources,” Syrotenko emphasized.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council stated that Russia is considering several scenarios for further waging war against Ukraine<\/a> . Among them are the continuation of hostilities until 2028, freezing the conflict, or expanding the confrontation.<\/p>\n

By the way, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated about the risk of Belarus being drawn into a war against Ukraine amid increased military activity on the border.<\/a><\/p>\n
