Some 230 kilometers of anti-tank ditches were dug in the Kharkiv and Chernihiv regions, near the Ukrainian-Russian border, last year, says a report on the fulfillment of the Ukrainian government's program in 2015.
A metal fence was installed along 72 kilometers of the border, 32 observation towers were erected, five strongholds were built, and seven more units were deployed in the Kharkiv and Chernihiv regions in 2015.
The state budget assigned UAH 400 million for the works, and all the funds were spent, the government said in its report.
