"For entirely unclear reasons, Ukraine is constructing defence positions in the Odesa area and along the right bank of Dnipro, in the Kherson (city) area."

The reasons seem pretty clear. When the collapse begins, they want to be able to hold onto Nikolayev and Odessa.

Perhaps it will be interesting for someone. The Ukrainian High Court has published the statistics of the military crimes in the AFU.

I warn you right away that nothing bad happened. Especially considering the situation and difficulties of Ukraine.

Thanks Don. Figures like 6% of GDP vs 40% of GDP in WWII make me wonder whether Russia will be able to wait it out. But of course one has to look at the whole picture
