< p _ngcontent-sc100="" class="news-annotation">Long-term defensive points are what helped the Armed Forces in the fight against the enemy. They came in handy in the Kiev region, when the invaders were on the outskirts of the capital.
Before that, they had already survived one war, however, they became necessary during the confrontation of the present. Such an opinion on the air of the national telethon is the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate Kirill Budanov, the commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, Channel 24 reports.
We needed it before that
Kirill Budanov said that in February-March 2022, when the Russians tried to attack Kiev, in many places the defense line passed along the line of defense during the Second World War.
There, right in the pillboxes of the Second World War, ours held the defense,” he stressed.
At the same time, Alexander Syrsky explained that the old long-term defensive points were built quite thoughtfully.
“They allowed you to control the intrigues to the area and hit the enemy,” he noted.
According to him, before that it was built for a reason – it was the system of the Kiev fortified region.
History repeats itself

This is the scale, which is, corresponds to both the First World War and the Second World War, – added the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
