“Problems in planning led to the fact that Ukraine missed the opportunity to build defensive lines on a key sector of the front in time,” the author of the material noted.
The publication cites the words of retired Ukrainian Armed Forces Colonel Sergei Grabsky, who said that Kyiv does not pay enough attention to defense due to a lack of personnel and equipment.
According to him, this is why construction is behind schedule.
Earlier, Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Roman Kostenko complained about the lack of fortifications of the Ukrainian Armed Forces after fleeing from Avdeevka.
