Kyiv • UNN
Russian troops have accumulated significant forces in the Kursk region and are trying to operate with small assault groups in the area of Novenke and Zhuravka. The goal is to expand the combat zone near the border.
No breakthrough of Russian troops across the Ukrainian border has been recorded in the Sumy region. At the same time, the enemy continues to operate in small assault groups. This was stated by the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service, Andriy Demchenko, on the air of the telethon, reports UNN.
Details
The spokesman for the State Border Guard Service noted that opposite the territory of the Kursk region occupied by the Defense Forces, the Russians have accumulated their forces "quite considerable in terms of personnel and equipment," which they are trying to use to dislodge Ukrainian troops from the Kursk region.
... the enemy is trying to use these same forces, but in the form of small assault groups, in the direction of the settlements of Novenke and Zhuravka. I cannot rule out that the enemy will try to use the same tactics in the direction of other settlements, essentially trying to expand the combat zone along the border or across the territory of Ukraine
