The construction of defensive lines on the territory of Russia along the Ukrainian border and in the occupied territories, which are supposed to protect against the "offensive" of the Armed Forces, is aimed exclusively at the domestic Russian audience.

This was stated by military expert Oleg Zhdanov on the air of his YouTube channel.

"We are not going to enter the territory of the Russian Federation. (Construction of defensive lines. - Ed.) is a waste of money by the local authorities. The second is the incitement of informational and psychological hysteria. "Stand up, huge country," dig trenches, because otherwise Ukraine will attack." - he said.

Zhdanov noted that Russian propagandists began to "disperse" a new hysteria - they say that NATO will soon attack the territory of Russia.

"They are ashamed that they will lose to Ukraine. That is why the rhetoric appeared: "Tomorrow NATO will attack Russia, so we are building fortifications and going to the military commissars," the expert added.

We will remind you that in autumn, the Russians built a fortification in the encircled Donbas, which they called the "Wagner Line".

It consists of several rows of cement pyramids and a large trench. 

Similar fortifications were later built in the regions bordering Ukraine, particularly in Belgorod.

Earlier, Oleg Zhdanov said whether civilians would be warned about the threat of a new offensive by the Russian army.
