The situation in Sumy region
After the liberation of the Sumy region from occupiers in the spring of last year, the occupiers have regularly shelled border areas with aviation, artillery, and mortars. As a result, this year, the regional authorities even decided to establish a 5-kilometer buffer zone along the border with Russia.
Recently, in the "Pivnich" Operational Command, warnings were issued that the Russians had disseminated fake information alleging the Ukrainian side's preparation for provocations at the border.
