According to the "Center for Journalistic Investigations," the Russians have constructed over 100 kilometers of fortifications along the Black Sea coast in Crimea and the Kherson Region within a month.

In Crimea, the coastal defense line stretches from the village of Mykolaivka in the Simferopol district to Krasnoperekopsk (Yana Kapu) near the administrative border with the Kherson region. Additional fortifications extend northward along the coast, with a significant concentration around Cape Tarkhankut, where Russian air defense systems are stationed.

On the western coast of Crimea, the occupiers have erected fortifications in reserves, natural parks, archaeological sites, and tourist areas. For instance, near the Northern (Nemse Çağaltai) Black Sea District, coastal defense fortifications have been built on the ruins of an ancient settlement.

In February-March 2024, fortifications appeared in the occupied part of the Kherson region, particularly around the villages of Oleksandrivka, Oleksiivka, Prymorske, and Ozerne. Alongside these constructions, the Russians are actively restoring and expanding roads, enhancing military logistics in the area.
