Border guards in Sumy Oblast engaged in
gunfire with a Russian reconnaissance and sabotage group (RSG) on April 1, as
the intruders attempted to infiltrate the oblast, resulting in the forced retreat of the
Russians, the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service reported.
Ukraine mobilized reserves from the State Border Guard Service, National Guard, and Armed Forces to repel the attack. Artillery units were also deployed.
Russian forces shelled populated areas in Sumy Oblast 158 times, damaging three homes, an administrative building, an extracurricular education facility, and a lyceum over the past day, police reported.

Russian reconnaissance sabotage groups (RSGs) trying to cross the border consist of 10-12 well-trained individuals. These RSGs are officer groups from Russia's Special Operations Forces and the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) under the Russian General Staff, former Commander of the Joint Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Serhiy Nayev, earlier said.
Russian forces had intensified their reconnaissance and sabotage operations in Sumy and Kharkiv Oblasts, Ukrainian State Border Guard Service reported in December 2023.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
