I recall reading how they haven’t been building defences for basically two reasons. First, building defences is an admission that they’re planning to retreat making it politically impossible, and second much funnier reason is that it’s easier to embezzle the money “spending” it on other stuff.
You’re missing the point, if its all about political statements and grandstanding.
The Ukrainian government doesn’t need to actually build defenses, you just call, redeploying troops away from the faltering front lines “consolidating positions” and standing down the majority of the conscripts to go back to work in the civilian sector as “building out defenses”. Effectively/practically declaring they’ve been defeated and are ending their part in the war without stating it openly.
“Consolidating positions and building out defenses” thats the words… I give them to you Mr. Zelensky, free of charge. Stop getting your people deaded.

These are the kinds of articles we’ll be increasingly seeing in western media in the coming months.
