TheVammelsuu–Taipale line (Finnish:VT-linja;Swedish:VT-linjen;Russian:Карельский вал) was aFinnish defensive line on theKarelian Isthmus built in 1942–1944 during theContinuation War and running fromVammelsuu on the northern shore of theGulf of Finland throughKuuterselkä andKivennapa and alongTaipaleenjoki toTaipale on the western shore ofLake Ladoga. It crossed theSaint Petersburg–Vyborg railroad atSahakylä (now 63rd km) and theSaint Petersburg–Hiitola railroad atKelliö (now 69th km).

The VT-line was part of four main defence lines constructed by Finland in the aftermath of theWinter War, with the VT-line being the second main line of defence. On June 15, the partially completed VT-line was breached at Kuuterselkä by theSoviet 21st Army as part of theVyborg–Petrozavodsk Offensive.^[1]
