Ukrainian border guards are continuing to strengthen defences along the northern border amid the risk of possible aggression from Belarus. In potentially dangerous areas, they are digging anti-tank trenches, erecting multi-layered barbed-wire barriers and installing concrete \u00abdragon\u2019s teeth\u00bb. A report by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine details the preparation of defensive lines and the creation of the so-called \u00abbuffer zone\u00bb.<\/p>\n
The fortifications along the northern border are designed to hinder any advance by enemy military equipment and personnel. Border guards are demonstrating anti-tank trenches, concrete barriers and several lines of barbed-wire entanglements.<\/p>\n
In the State Border Guard Service\u2019s report, this set of measures is described as preparation for \u00abzones<\/a>\u00bb \u2014 areas where, should the enemy attempt an advance, it would come under fire from Ukrainian forces. However, the specific details of the defensive positions and their locations are not disclosed for security reasons.<\/p>\n
