Attacks on the Sumy region
The Russian forces have intensified attacks on the Sumy region amid their attempts to create a buffer zone in the area.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, over the past week, Russian troops advanced about 200 meters in the region. Ukrainian defenders then pushed them back by 200–400 meters.
