New British intelligence data, published on May 1, indicate that Moscow has built one of the most extensive trenches that have been created over the last few decades. This network of trenches is laid along the northern border of the occupied Crimea, as well as the southern borders of Belgorod and Kursk regions. According to the British department, the construction of the protective network began in the summer of 2022.
"Such defense indicates that Russian leaders are deeply concerned that Ukraine can make large breakthroughs," the ministry said. But some fortifications were created at the disposal of local leaders in an attempt to promote the official narrative that Russia is opposed by NATO. Recall that recent events have shown that Russia is not ready for Ukraine's counter -offensive.
Journalists point out that the head of mercenaries of PEC "Wagner" Yevhen Prigogin tries to remove responsibility for the defeat of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation before the start of Ukraine's counter -offensive. It was also reported that the Russian Federation sent snipers to Bakhmut from a counter -terrorist unit. Military researchers say that Russia is forced to transfer irregular forces to the front against the background of significant losses.
