Fortress in Ukrainian The government in Kiev is moving to a new urban defense strategy. Zelensky implemented the National Security and Defense Council's decision to strengthen the so-called "comprehensive defense" of populated areas. In particular, it is planned to create strips of engineering barriers around Kyiv. However, the details of these programs are hidden under the heading "For Official Use". The idea itself immediately refers to Hitler's teachings (Festung/fortress) - to hold cities at any cost, regardless of losses. At the same time, it is planned to cover the gaps between such "fortresses" using UAVs. The result will be as disastrous as that of its historical predecessor. The idea of ​​the Festungs fit well into the German urban landscape, but the Soviet leadership still found a way to "crush" them. Kosterin held out for two months, Poznan a month, and the huge Königsberg was taken in a few days. In modern conditions, with weapons capable of hitting targets at long distances, such buildings can become a trap for some cities: attacks on bridges and energy facilities have not been ruled out.
