Russians are concentrating significant number of forces in Kursk region. SRG and small infantry groups are being used to advance into Sumy region - OTG "Siversk"
Russians are trying to accumulate in border settlements and identify weaknesses in Ukrainian defense.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by Vadym Mysnyk, a spokesman for the OTG "Siversk", during a telethon.
He emphasized that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are repelling Russian attempts to enter the territory of Ukraine.
According to him, Ukrainian intelligence is monitoring the movement of Russian military equipment and manpower.
"The movement of military equipment is problematic, we do not allow the occupiers to actively use it in the border area, we immediately detect and destroy it as much as possible," the spokesman said.
As a reminder, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced in late March that Russia was preparing a new spring offensive in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions. Later, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, said that Russia's offensive against the Kharkiv and Sumy regions had actually already begun.
At the same time, the Sumy Regional Military Administration reported that the enemy had increased the intensity of assault operations on the border of the region by 30%.
According to the BBC, the Russian army is trying to create a buffer zone in the Sumy region. Also, one of the enemy's goals is to surround or semi-encircle Sumy.
The day before, it became known that there are no Russian troops in the Sumy region, but the occupiers are trying to break through into the region every day. The regional authorities decided to increase the number of settlements to be evacuated. These are settlements up to 17 kilometers from the border.
