Russian troops continue to storm the village of Basivka in the Yunakivka community of the Sumy region. The enemy may use the village as a stronghold for further assaults in the direction of Yunakivka.
According to Censor.NET, citing Suspilne, this was stated by DeepState co-founder Ruslan Mykula.
According to him, Basivka is the largest village on the border with Russia where there are shelters.
"There are some shelters, basements, something has been dug there, especially over the last six months. This is a good stronghold for the enemy to further assault towards Yunakivka. Because there is almost nothing in Zhuravka. The situation is the same in Veselivka. In Novenke, there were two basements for the whole village. There is no village there anymore, there were just two basements where people could hide. That is why they are storming Basivka. There is a shelter there, a place to accumulate. The village is not very strategic, but it is important for the Russian army," Mykula said.
He noted that the logistics of Ukrainian forces near Basivka are not being carried out. Instead, the Russian military is trying to enter the village in small assault groups.
"They are constantly driving buggies there. The defence forces are striking back and so far there are no significant changes. But the situation is difficult because the village is destroyed. And the enemy even tried to attack Loknya from the border, but eight people who did so were killed," Mykula added.
As of 7 April 2025, Basivka is in the "grey" zone on the DeepState map.
As a reminder, Russians are spreading lies about the seizure of the village of Basivka in the Sumy region. The spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andrii Demchenko, said that the village is not under the control of the occupiers.
