Nearly 10,000 concrete pyramids known as “dragon’s teeth” have been installed around the Kyiv region as a line of defence against Russian forces, according to the local governor.
Ruslan Kravchenko, head of the Kyiv regional state administration, said the goal was for residents to feel “as safe as possible”.
He said the fortifications being built will include “an extensive system of trenches, dugouts and other types of shelters”.
An anti-tank ditch has already been built in addition to the 10,000 “dragon’s teeth”, Mr Kravchenko said.
“We do not stop work for a single day, we have all the necessary materials and equipment,” he said on Facebook.
Earlier this month, Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine was building 2,000km of fortifications across three lines of defence in the country.
