Enemy tactics in Sumy region failing – SBGS spokesperson

In the Sumy region, particularly near the Yunakivka and Khotin communities, Russian forces continue to use small assault groups in their attacks. However, this tactic has proven ineffective, as the enemy has been unable to advance deeper into Ukrainian territory or seize control of border areas.

Andrii Demchenko, spokesperson for Ukraine's State Border Guard Service, stated this on Ukrainian television, according to Ukrinform.

"When we look at the entire 550-kilometer stretch of the border with Russia in the Sumy region, only a small section near the Khotin and Yunakivka communities sees the use of these small assault groups. But even this tactic has failed to deliver the results the enemy hoped for — to penetrate deeply into Ukrainian territory and capture border areas. As the General Staff recently reported, enemy advances have been halted. They are being hit with maximum firepower and are suffering heavy losses — dozens killed and wounded daily. And these are only the results from the defense lines held by Border Guard units, who are operating alongside the Ukrainian Armed Forces," Demchenko said.

He added that in other parts of the border in the Sumy region, Russian forces continue to shell Ukrainian positions using artillery, mortars, and airstrikes — targeting not only military sites but also civilian settlements.

"Russia continues to prove its status as a terrorist state by destroying the infrastructure of towns and villages. There have been civilian casualties in the border areas," Demchenko said.
