A group of workers near Kharkiv continues to build a defense line, despite regular attacks by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Despite the casualties among the workers, the work continues.
Ukraine is placing a defense line at a distance of 10 kilometers from the Russian-Ukrainian border in the Kharkiv region. The workers perform this work without special equipment, relying on shovels, while they face the attacks of planning bombs of the Russian Armed Forces. Journalist Paul Ronzheimer, deputy editor-in-chief of Bild, visited a place near Kharkiv where the construction of defense structures is underway. He emphasized that the workers work in the zone closest to the border, without having the necessary equipment for construction. According to the journalist, Russian troops regularly shoot at the workers, which leads to casualties among them.
A video shot by a German journalist shows a group of 4-5 workers using shovels to build defense structures.
According to Bild expert, Karlo Masala, professor of the Bundeswehr University in Munich, a possible attack by the Russian Federation could take place from the direction of Kramatorsk. He expressed doubts about the construction of defense structures by the Kharkiv Region. According to the expert, Kharkiv, like Mariupol, may become the target of Russian attacks, which will lead to a change of government and the evacuation of residents.
