Russians fortify beaches of occupied Yevpatoria, posing threat to civilians - photos
Numerous firing points set up by Russians along the sandy
beaches of Yevpatoria in temporarily occupied Crimea were discovered by the
peninsula’s resistance movement Atesh and reported on Telegram on July 17, accompanied by
numerous photos.
The guerillas expressed concern for the safety of the local
population because the military equipment and defensive structures are located
in recreational areas and near civilian facilities and homes.
The general appearance of the structures suggests that “they
will provide only five minutes of defense for invaders during a landing
operation by the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the statement said.
This follows an earlier report by Atesh on July 6 about
the intensification of the defensive structures construction by
the Russians along the Crimean coast line due to fears of a possible amphibious
operation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In the resort cities of Yevpatoria and Yalta, the Russians were hiring civilian contractors to equip firing and defensive positions that “look very cartoonish.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
