New satellite images indicate that the Russian military has intensified the construction of fortifications in the occupied territories of Ukraine.

Researcher Brady Afrik published the data on Twitter.

According to the published photos, construction is ongoing on the entire temporarily occupied territory.

Russian forces have dug new trenches outside occupied cities in the Luhansk region. The satellite images show defenses outside Lysychansk that were built in the past few months.

In the Donetsk region, Russian troops have strengthened fortifications along the roads leading to Mariupol.

In the south of Ukraine, Russian forces continue expanding existing defenses and adding new layers of fortifications.

For example, they expand the fortifications outside the town of Chystopillya in the Zaporizhzhia region.

New barriers and trenches have appeared over the last few months along the roads leading to Crimea.

Previously, trucks transporting concrete pillboxes were spotted in Sevastopol.

These fortifications could be both used in Crimea and sent to other parts of the occupied territories to strengthen fortifications.
