Summer offensive of Russians: Syrskyi speaks about the situation at the front

The wave of attempts of the enemy's "summer offensive" from the territory of the Russian Federation is choking in the same way as last year – an attempt by the enemy to carry out offensive actions in the Kharkiv region. This was written on Facebook by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, reports UNN.

According to Syrskyi, the advance of Russian troops in the border areas of Sumy region has been stopped as of this week, and the line of combat contact has been stabilized. Units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine are successfully using the tactics of active defense and liberating Ukrainian land in the border areas of Sumy region.

At the same time, in the North Sloboda and Kursk directions, Ukrainian troops repeatedly restrained about 50,000 personnel of the Russian army, including elite brigades of their airborne troops and marines.

In addition, Syrskyi reported the following changes:

• a special group on defense of Sumy region – cities and communities of the region – has been created within the command of the group in the North Sloboda direction. The group's priority tasks are to strengthen fortifications and increase the system of engineering and fortification barriers;
• an official has been appointed who will be directly responsible for preparing the cities and communities of Sumy region for defense and ensuring the effectiveness of the engineering barrier system in the likely directions of the enemy's offensive;
