Sources have uncovered online job vacancies for trench diggers in Russia’s Kursk region, as satellite imagery shows a new trench system has been dug in the region.
One user in a group called Typical Lgov on the Russian social media website Vkontakte shared an announcement from Kurchatov, a nearby town adjacent to the Kursk nuclear power plant.
