Purgin: construction of military lines cut money for Kiev

The construction of fortifications around the self-proclaimed Donetsk people's Republic Is an attempt by bureaucrats to make money, and not to strengthen the defense, said Fins news the head of the national Council DND Andrey Purgin.

In the autumn of last year the Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko said that in the Donbass on the construction of the fortification fortifications, and the district will be furnished according to the requirements of the General staff. The Manager believes that these structures will provide a reliable line of defense. According to the summary data of the General staff of VSU, the construction of the first line of military fortifications on the line of contact in Donbas is now 95% completed. The construction of the second and third lines of engineering structures is the responsibility of the regional administration.

"Fortification Is a cut of the money. There is a special stage, which moves a column of tanks and makes a special bridge width through any obstacle 16-foot width. You've seen somewhere ditches that are excavated to a width of 16 meters. They dig it in half or two meters for cables and so on. This is just burning money, " Purgin said.
