In the southern direction of the capital's suburbs, defense forces continue to build fortifications and engineering structures "to meet the Russian aggressor with dignity and surprise."

The commanders of the units discussed with the Сommander of the Kyiv Defence possible options for strengthening the equipment of the positions to be ready for the possible actions of the Russian aggressors.
