Ukraine plans to build wall on border with Russia in 6 months
Ukraine plans to build a wall along its border with Russia in six months, the Kiev government said in its National Renewal plan released Wednesday, RIA Novosti reported.
“The Wall Project to build and equip a reinforced barrier between Ukraine and Russia [should be completed] within six months,” the plan says.
Earlier the same day, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said “this is the construction of an actual state border between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.”
Yatsenyuk also stressed the need to adopt a new military stance reflecting Russia as an “aggressor nation,” which threatens the territorial integrity and national security of Ukraine.
