Addendum

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 on Telegram at 12:29 p.m.

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 said that the fact that the Russians were escalating the situation in the Sumy region as almost the beginning of an offensive on Sumy was propaganda, since Russia had neither the strength nor the means to do so, but the "victory" needed to be hyped up in the media.
