SBGS spokesman Andriy Demchenko said that Russian invaders are trying to enter the territory of Sumy region in small assault groups.
Demchenko noted that it is not correct to say that Russian invaders broke through the border in Sumy region. The enemy is trying to dislodge the Defense Forces from the Kursk region and is conducting dozens of assault operations on the positions of Ukrainian soldiers.
