They want to divert attention from the failure of the russian defense: the Center for Public Advocacy explains why the intensity of shelling in Sumy region has increased

russians are trying to divert attention from the fighting in Belgorod and Kursk regions. That is why propaganda is actively disseminating information about the preparation of an offensive in Sumy region. This was stated by the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Andriy Kovalenko, on his Telegram channel, UNN reports .

Details

According to him, news about massive shelling of Sumy region is being actively spread . Kovalenko noted that the situation in the border area is tense, the enemy is attacking local communities mainly in the 5-km zone.

The head of the Center added that the russians are spreading disinformation about shelling of the entire region, in particular about "regular attacks on the city of Sumy" and preparations for an offensive

This is not true, but is an attempt to divert attention from the failures of the russian defense in the border area and the successes of russian volunteers, whom the enemy is trying to accuse of shelling Ukrainian border communities

According to him, the russians were constantly shelling certain districts of the region, and the intensity of the attacks increased only in the border area.

Addendum

The head of the Center emphasized that the border regions are constantly shelled, and the intensity of the shelling has changed frequently in the past.

I would also like to clarify a key point: we should not confuse the border with the entire region. The border has been under constant fire for a long time, and the intensity has often changed before

Recall

Due to significant intensification of shelling in Sumy region , all children were taken out of the village of Velyka Pysarivka, which is constantly under fire from the occupiers.
