Despite the difficult situation at the front, Ukrainian soldiers continue to put up a worthy resistance.

Kovalenko emphasized that constant Russian assaults in the border areas of Sumy region are accompanied by losses, and individual successful actions of Ukrainian forces significantly undermine the morale of the occupiers.
