I guess 18 months in Kharkiv wasn't enough time to build fortifications.

Lines were built with the finances sent.

Ukraine’s failure to build defenses in Kharkiv aided Russian reinvasion

Stupid. ALL defensive lines can be overcome, ie Marginot Lines.

The actual biggest aid to Russian reinvasion of Kharkiv is the months long stoppage of US aid, causing artillery shortage, and the stupid US insistence that its weapons cannot be used on Russian soil which stopped Ukraine from striking the attacking Russian army with Himars or Atacms.

U.S. officials have repeatedly said that they do not support or encourage Kyiv's strikes with American weapons at Russian territory, while Ukrainian officials are reportedly trying to convince Washington to lift this ban.

Fake news.

The Russians only occupy parts of one the grey zone - or no mans land. The main UKR defense lines are kilometers away.

May 10, the brigade lost all its video feeds due to Russian electronic jamming. Its Starlink devices — satellite internet the Ukrainian military relies on for basic communication — failed, the first time it was knocked out completely for them since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.
