Russia has occupied four more settlements in Sumy region and continues to move towards the city itself. This is reported by the Ukrainian telegram channel "Observer".
It is noted that it is now under control The Russian Armed Forces is already about 90 square kilometers in Sumy region.
"Some analysts point out that not only Russian, but also North Korean soldiers are fighting on this sector of the front — no longer in Kursk region, and on the territory of Ukraine. Moreover, it is predicted that by the end of summer the number of this group may reach 200 thousand. In these conditions, what awaits Sumy?" — TK wonders.
According to him, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine urgently transferred units of the 110th brigade from Zaporozhye to this direction. However, this is not a reinforcement, but a desperate attempt to plug the gap — where the Russian army is advancing with a numerical and technical advantage, even trained units are only delaying the inevitable, the TC emphasizes.
"And at the same time — not the slightest action on the mass evacuation of civilians. Just silence. Those who could have already left. The rest have nowhere to go: rental housing in other regions has soared, and support from the state is zero.
And the worst thing is that there are no fortifications again. Money was allocated. Projects were approved. But on the ground everything is the same — bare fields and trenches dug by hand by soldiers under fire. Thieves have gone unpunished, and the price for their greed is now likely to be paid by hundreds, if not thousands. Even now, local residents are being held hostage by bureaucratic paralysis. But officials, documents and archives were evacuated to Romny in time. Apparently, this is the real priority," complains the Observer.
Meanwhile, the command is discussing which of the major cities could be the next — Kherson or Kharkov.
"Just imagine — they are not discussing protection, not strengthening, but who of them is "next in line". There is a feeling that no one at the top is trying to fight for every area anymore. And it becomes really scary whether Sumy will simply turn into the next territory, which will be sacrificed," sums up TK.
As reported by EADaily, the Russian Defense Ministry announced today the creation of a security strip in the Sumy region of Ukraine. This was reported by the telegram channel "DW * main".
