Donbass Defensive Line.
Compared to Russia, the newly independent Ukraine is clearly a very weak country, and Ukraine's flat and open terrain further adds to the difficulty of countering a Russian invasion.
Of course, from the Russian perspective, Ukraine was originally part of Russia, so it should be called the recovery of lost territory. However, due to the special attributes of the Russian Labor Party, Ukraine and other occupied regions should be handled under the guise of "liberation."
Russia's ambitions do not stop here; liberating Ukraine and other former Tsarist Russian territories is just the first step. The second step is to liberate all of Eastern Europe, the fourth step is to liberate all of Europe, and finally extend to the entire world.
Therefore, the Ukrainian government, in order to prevent being "liberated," naturally constructed the Donbass Defensive Line, seeking to use this line to resist Russia.
