DeepState said the push began after probing attacks to test Ukrainian control of terrain and identify weak points. Analysts identified the village of Hrabovske as an initial point of advance; pressure has since continued around the Myropilske area.
The project’s latest update shows Russian advances. The newly formed area of Russian control and infiltration, marked as red and gray zones on DeepState’s map, totals about 150 square kilometers along the Sumy border.
On April 13, DeepState reported a new Russian advance in Sumy Oblast, with changes recorded near Myropilske, Maryine, and Novodmytrivka.
Ukrainian military spokesman Viktor Tregubov said the
Russian army advanced near the settlement of Myropilske and that fighting
continues around Maryine. He added that Russian forces have not reached
Novodmytrivka.
