Spokesman for the State Border Guard Service Andriy Demchenko stated that the situation in the border areas with Russia remains tense, but the enemy failed to realize its plans for a breakthrough.
Along the border with Russia - this includes Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv regions - all these directions are subjected to daily shelling from Russia. Artillery, aviation, drones - all this is used against our border area.
According to him, the aggressor has recently intensified attacks using drones.
We are seeing an increase in strikes using FPV drones and dropping ammunition. Sumy and Kharkiv regions suffer the most, although shelling also occurs daily in Chernihiv region.
At the same time, he emphasized that the enemy's attempts to advance with infantry were unsuccessful. Demchenko said that there are significantly fewer enemy infantry groups now. They are trying to attack the positions of Ukrainian defenders, but, having suffered heavy losses, they cannot achieve results.

This is the merit of every one of our soldiers - from the Armed Forces to the border guards, who destroy the enemy daily.
Demchenko emphasized that Russia is unable to break through the defense and deepen the invasion.
The enemy cannot advance deep into Ukraine. Its plans have been thwarted, and it is forced to reduce activity after daily losses in manpower.
