Is it true that the Soviet Union approved the construction of the Berlin Wall in August 1961 at the request of East German leader Walter Ulbricht?

Yes. A reference account states that in August 1961 East German leader Walter Ulbricht, with Khrushchev's backing, ordered the border closed and the wall built, and other sources confirm the August 1961 construction under Soviet-backed East Germany.
