Ukraine thwarts Russian infiltration attempts in Sumy Oblast
Russian assault groups continue to attempt incursions into Ukraine through Sumy Oblast, Andrii Demchenko, State Border Guard Service spokesperson said on the air of the national telethon broadcast on April 4.
“These efforts are mostly concentrated near the villages of Novenke and Zhuravka (Ukraine's northeast Sumy Oblast), where the highest number of attempts are recorded," he clarified.
"Ukrainian soldiers are doing everything possible to ensure the enemy does not achieve its goals. They’re eliminating these groups both after they cross the border and even before they reach it.”
He suggested that Russian forces may try to expand their assault routes and added that the enemy is using quad bikes in these attacks.
“This is the direction (Kursk Oblast - bordering Ukraine's Sumy Oblast) where the enemy has long maintained a significant presence - where they’ve concentrated their forces to try to dislodge our units,” he explained.
Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts, where he met with community representatives and military units commanders now fighting along the Kursk axis.
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.
