"The Cabinet of Ministers has allocated funding, but because of certain procedures this money will come later," he said.

"We asked the building companies to form a team and to start construction without money. None of the companies in Kharkiv region refused. This shows the pro-Ukrainian mood of Kharkiv’s citizens," Rainin said.

According to Rainin, some 300 defensive fortifications are also to be built along the line of contact between government-controlled territory and the parts of Ukraine where Russian-backed militants have seized control from the Ukrainian authorities.

"Most of the work will be carried out in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya, and Dnipropetrovsk region. On the orders of the president, all regions should be involved in this process," he said.

As reported earlier, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Regional Development, Construction and Housing, and Communal Services Hennadiy Zubko said that the construction of fortifications in the east of Ukraine should be completed by mid-May.

Ukrainian soldiers build barricades near militant-controlled Debaltseve - watch on - uatoday.tv
Mar. 31, 2015
Under pouring rain, Ukrainian soldiers work to prepare new positions to defend against Russian-backed militants. These new barricades are taking shape near the rail hub of Debaltseve, which Ukrainian soldiers were forced to abandon to insurgent forces in February.

Soldiers are bracing for further attacks. Fighting in the Donetsk region continued in February despite a ceasefire that was supposed to go into effect on February 15. Militants launched a heavy campaign to drive Ukrainian forces out of Debaltseve. Soldiers say they have little faith in the ceasefire agreement.

In other words, they gave up on the capitals Donetsk and Lugansk. Can't beat Russians in Crimea. That's understandable because Crimea is officially Russian territory. But can't beat civilians in Donetsk and Lugansk. That's just ridiculous. :rofl:

OSCE report points to militant grad attack on Ukrainian positions despite ceasefire - watch on - uatoday.tv
Shelling has been reported in towns in the eastern Ukrainian region of Luhansk. Observers from the OSCE monitoring mission confirmed evidence of Grad rockets that struck a Ukrainian-held town last week.

According to the OSCE, the SMM observed at least 20 craters in a field, which appeared to have been caused by Grad missiles. The craters, which suggested that the fire came from a south-easterly direction, were fresh.

Despite a ceasefire deal signed in February, sporadic fighting has been reported throughout eastern Ukraine. Defence analysts believe the port city of Mariupol is the next target for Russian-backed miitants seeking to extend their control of the Donbas region.

The town of Shyrokyne came under militant fire shortly after observers from the OSCE monitoring mission left on Monday, according to Ukrainian officials.

Towns surrounding the city have been hit in recent days by grenade and mortar fire. Shyrokyne has seen some of the heaviest fighting. Ukraine has accused militants of repeated ceasefire violations.
