For the past 10 days, the occupiers have been trying to advance 500-1000 meters in the border areas. Settlements have been evacuated, and active hostilities are ongoing.
For the past 10 days, Russian troops have been actively trying to capture villages along the border in Sumy Oblast, said Viktor Tregubov, spokesman for the Joint Forces Group, on the air of a telethon on Thursday, writes UNN.
Eastern Sumy region is also within our area of responsibility, and there is indeed active pressure both in the Hrabovske area and in the Myropilske area, and in principle along the border, the Russians, quite actively in the last 10 days, they have quite actively pushed and are actively trying to capture the settlements directly on the border itself.
"This is a problem, but, in principle, after the experience of Hrabovske, at least the settlements themselves have already been evacuated, and it is more about some attempts to deepen by 500 meters or a kilometer of the territory itself, and not about an attempt to capture Ukrainians, as it was before," he noted.
Regarding Kharkiv Oblast, according to him, "it's actually as it was." "That is, the same enclaves that were there, the same incursions. That tiny Dekhtiarne, two separate zones in the South Sloboda direction, one of which is Vovchansk. Therefore, in principle, there is nothing new here. Here it's just a revitalization of some of the efforts we saw in winter," Tregubov noted.
