Fighting in the Sumy region
We remind you that the Russians have intensified offensive actions on the border of the Sumy region. The Russian army wants to create a so-called “buffer zone” in the border areas of Ukraine.
The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported that in the border areas, enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups and small assault groups are actively operating. Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the Russian Federation is building up troops near the Sumy direction. According to him, more than 50 thousand Russian troops were concentrated there.
According to British intelligence, however, over the past two weeks, Russian troops have not achieved any noticeable successes in the Sumy region.
In addition, the occupiers have intensified shelling of the city of Sumy and the Sumy region. Today, August 10, the Russians struck the building of the Sumy Regional Military Administration with a drone.
