Breakthrough of the border in Sumy region. The Lieutenant Colonel of the Armed Forces named the true goal of the Russians.

In the Sumy region, the efforts of the occupiers have become active again, but the Ukrainian army is successfully resisting them. The enemy has been trying to break through the border for a long Time, but now its goal extends beyond this territory. This was reported by Lieutenant Colonel of the Armed Forces and Deputy Commander of the Third Separate Assault Brigade, Maksym Zhorin, as reported by 'Glavkom'.

Regarding Sumy region – I do not understand the panic mood. Attempts to break through the border, the work of the enemy's sabotage and reconnaissance groups are constantly occurring there. The region is constantly being shelled. To date, the enemy has not achieved any significant changes or successes in this direction. The Ukrainian army has long learned to counter the opponent under such conditions,' Zhorin noted.

According to the military, the situation is currently related to the plans and strategies of the Russian Federation.

They are trying to stretch the line of combat confrontation by transferring forces to different directions and opening new areas of hostilities. One just needs to be prepared for various events and be aware of the current situation,' Zhorin warned.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian army is preparing reserves for the first of May, when they plan to make a breakthrough at the front.

According to the Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, hostilities in the northern direction have become much more active. Over the past year, Russia has not achieved significant strategic breakthroughs but continues to use manpower to gain tactical advantages.

Researchers analyzed the speed of movement of Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine and found that it has slowed down since November 2024. In March, Russia occupied less territory than in November.

Analysis:

Regarding the situation in the Sumy region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to explain to citizens that there is no reason for panic and warn about the constant activity of enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups and shelling. At the same time, the Ukrainian army has already proven its ability to effectively resist the enemy under such conditions. However, Russian forces continue to change their strategy, stretching the line of combat confrontation and opening new areas of hostilities.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine notes that Russia has not achieved significant breakthroughs over the past year but is actively using manpower to achieve tactical successes. Researchers have found that the speed of movement of Russian troops in the territory of Ukraine has decreased, which may indicate a certain stabilization of the situation. However, it is necessary to remain ready for any developments and be aware of the current situation.
