Russian occupying forces build anti-tank fortifications near Hirske in Luhansk region

This was reported by CNN.

Photos show that an almost 2-kilometer-long fortification was built near the town of Hirske in Luhansk region.

The fortification comprises of four rows of cement pyramids that the Russians hope will stop any Ukrainian vehicles and tanks from moving eastward. A large trench is located behind the anti-tank fortifications.

Additional satellite imagery from the European Space Agency shows that the trench digging was conducted in two parts: the first section of trench was dug starting on Sept. 25; the second section of trench was dug sometime between Sept. 30 and Oct. 5.

As CNN writes, Russian mass media have already nicknamed such structures "Wagner line" referring to the Russian mercenary Wagner Group.

At the same time, due to the short length of the fortifications, Ukrainian military can simply bypass it.

After all, the analysis of satellite images shows that fortifications in Hirske only stretch 1.6 kilometers.

The publication also adds that Russian forces have "grandiose plans" to continue building this “line” until it stretches east from the Russian-Ukrainian border to Kreminna, and then south to Svitlodarsk.

The Russian propagandists talk about plans to "close" the front on a section of more than 200 km.
