Crimean leader Aksyonov said construction of the defense line continues
Chapter Crimea Sergei Aksenov said the construction of the peninsula’s defense line continues, security measures have been strengthened in all directions. About this he said in an interview with Izvestia.
A large number of people and equipment are involved in this work, the creation of a defensive line is carried out using the best practices, noted Aksenov.
According to him, the leaders of the republic have also reinforced security measures in all areas and taken additional measures for essential facilities and social infrastructure. Particular attention is paid to the security of the Crimean bridge, the head of the region stressed.
“Of course, we hope that all these defensive structures will not be useful, but, as they say, God saves the safe,” Aksenov added.
Commenting on a possible attack from the Ukrainian side, the head of the republic recalled that in 2016 the Ukrainian DRG had already tried to enter Crimea, but their attempts were unsuccessful.
In February Aksenov informedthat the President of Russia Vladimir Poutine supported the idea of building a line of fortification in the Crimea. “The defensive line is the whole of Crimea, within the borders. If not useful [линия обороны] – and okay, then we’ll drive on an excursion. May it be better now,” Aksyonov said.
