Today, on February 28, Kovalenko commented on the situation in the Sumy region, in the Novenke area. He noted that the Russians are attempting to assault the border without convoys of vehicles, with infantry groups. The defense forces are destroying the enemy.

"At the moment, there has been no breakthrough , the fighting continues," Kovalenko wrote in Telegram at 12:29.

This statement was made against the backdrop of DeepState showing the village of Novenke in Sumy region as a "gray" zone, which was noticed by the network.

Later, Kovalenko statedthat the fact that the Russians are escalating the situation in the border area in Sumy region as almost the beginning of an offensive on Sumy is propaganda work, since Russia has neither the strength nor the means to do so, but it is necessary to inflate the "victory" in the media.
