Defence line is being built in Kursk and Belgorod regions

This is reported by the BBC edition with reference to Russian officials.

It is reported that some Belgorod enterprises produce reinforced concrete pillboxes by order of the Ministry of Defense. The fortifications are called the "Wagner Line".

The fact that Russia is building defensive structures on its territory may indicate that the Russian invasion did not go according to plan at all. This is evident from the fact that Russia needed an urgent mobilization of hundreds of thousands of reserve troops and even prisoners.

And the head of the regional security committee of the Kursk region, Mikhail Gorbunov, has already generally advised digging shelters and trenches near banks, post offices and shops.

Experts believe that in this way the Russian government is preparing the country to declare martial law.
