The border guard service of Russia is building fortifications on the border with Ukraine to prevent militants and mercenaries from coming back to the territory of the Russian Federation in military vehicles.

Spokesman of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine on the Anti-Terrorist Operation Colonel Andriy Lysenko said this at a briefing in Kyiv on Tuesday, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

"The decision on the construction of fortifications was taken in order to prevent the militants from returning to the territory of the Russian Federation. And they will not be able to leave," Lysenko said, commenting on the appropriate actions on the Russian border.

"This [building of fortifications] is meant to signal clearly to those mercenaries who are now in Donbas that if they are already there, they won't be able to leave, at least alive."

As reported earlier, Russian newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta, quoting the regional border department of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation, reported that Russian border guards have dug 100 kilometers of ditches and built a 40 km fence along Russia's border with Donbas.
