“At the front (at the Ukrainian Armed Forces. -

) there are no strategic fortifications, nothing even close to what Russia is doing,” he said in his blog on YouTube.
According to Butusov, the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have enough special equipment and concrete, and the construction of fortified areas is limited to digging trenches by soldiers with shovels.
“People are not being saved, people’s strength is not being saved, and there are big losses because of this,” he concluded.
Earlier it was reported that Russian artillerymen destroyed the fire control center of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Kupyansk.
Also, Igor Kimakovsky, adviser to the head of the Donetsk People's Republic Denis Pushilin, said that Ukrainian troops had lost control of a large fortified area near Donetsk.
