Russia completes Crimea-Ukraine border wall
Russia completed a high-tech security fence along annexed Crimea’s border with mainland Ukraine. The fence, more than 60 kilometers long, is topped with barbed wire and equipped with hundreds of sensors. Russia’s FSB security agency called the fence a “boundary of engineering structures,” and said it is necessary to prevent “infiltration attempts by saboteurs,” also citing traffic in drugs, arms and other contraband. The statement boasted of “the most complicated system of alarm sensors in the Isthmus of Perekop,” the stretch of land where annexed Crimea borders the Ukrainian mainland. (Photo via РИА Новости)
