Details 

If we stick to the Sumy direction, the Sumy region, then the section in the direction of the settlements of Basivka, Zhuravka – these are the areas where the enemy continues to use the tactics of small assault groups and, unfortunately, we see that he is trying to expand this zone and also tries to use small assault groups in the surrounding areas in order to expand the zone of fighting on the territory of Ukraine

He also informed about the situation in Kharkiv region. 

In Kharkiv region, attempts to storm Volchansk, in the Volchansk direction, are the most intensive. Almost every day, border guards repel attempts by enemy assault groups to advance. Separately along the front line is the Kupyansk direction, where the enemy is also quite active in order to advance through the territory of Ukraine
