Shelling of Sumy region
Since the beginning of Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russian troops have been constantly shelling the border of the Sumy region. Russia also shelled Hlukhiv, which is located in the Shostka district, in May 2022.
Russia uses drones, artillery, and other weapons to attack. There have also been numerous attempts by Russian subversive reconnaissance groups to break through in the Sumy region.
In late May, the State Border Guard Service said that the Russians were keeping their units near the border with the Sumy region, but these forces were not enough for a successful offensive. Ukrainian Defense Forces are ready for any scenario.
