πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί A funny story happened at a construction site for Russian defenses in the Donbass.

In the end, the workers somehow managed to get out. They left their backpack with equipment inside, so it looks like the young men will have to climb through the spirals of barbed wire again.
The video also gives a sense of the scale of the construction work underway: the structures stretch as far as the eye can see. The concrete blocks in the frame are connected with a metal cable in order to prevent them from being pulled away one by one.
But whatever the line of defense, it is the personnel who determine its strength. No trenches or bunkers will stop the enemy if the units there are not equipped with communications equipment, or even stoves.
