Zelenskyy briefed on liberation of two Ukrainian villages in Sumy region

As Zelenskyy stated, today he is on a working visit to the Sumy region. There, the President visited the command post of the 225th Separate Assault Regiment.

The soldiers of this unit were the first to enter the territory of the Kursk region last year and significantly contributed to the exchange fund.

"I spoke with the commanders. There were reports on the liberation of Andriivka and Kindrativka in Sumy region, Russian attempts at counterattacks, and our next steps to liberate Ukrainian land. We had a detailed discussion about needs, overall supply levels, training of recruits and instructors," Zelenskyy said.

According to him, the regiment commander requested to scale the unit up to the level of a brigade. The President will discuss this issue with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi.

"I thanked the soldiers for their service and the results achieved during the Kursk operation thanks to them, and awarded them with state honors. We will always be grateful for your service to Ukraine. And we will always honor the memory of all those who gave their lives for our country," the head of state added.

Liberation of villages in Sumy region

It was officially announced on July 27 that Ukraine's Defense Forces had liberated the border village of Kindrativka in the Sumy region. An epic video of the fighting for the settlement also appeared.

According to the spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service, Andriy Demchenko, the expulsion of the enemy from the settlement will allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to gain a foothold and delay the enemy's advance.
