Situation in Sumy region is stable, no threat of encirclement – Kursk Grouping of Troops
The situation in the area of responsibility of the Kursk group of forces remains stable and under control.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the press center of the Kursk group of forces.
What is the situation in the border area?
"The enemy has not carried out any actions that would be worth calling breakthroughs or attempts to place the city of Sumy in a 'semi-encirclement.' There are no grounds whatsoever to speak about this. Everywhere the Russians tried to conduct assault operations in the area of responsibility of the Kursk Grouping of Troops, they received and continue to receive a worthy rebuff, having achieved no success," the statement says.
Therefore, as the Kursk Grouping of Troops stresses, the information spread by some media outlets has nothing to do with reality.
"We once again urge journalists to use only official information from Ukraine’s Defense Forces and to carefully verify reports obtained from dubious sources. Because unverified rumours and gossip about an alleged danger to the regional center contribute to the destabilization of our society and the emergence of panic among the civilian population," the agency added.
