Russia spreads fake news about the capture of Yunakivka in Sumy region

This disinformation was debunked by the Center for Countering Disinformation.

As reported in the Sumy Regional Defense Command, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and all components of the Defense Forces are holding the borders and successfully repelling enemy attacks. The situation on the border of the Sumy region is under control.

DeepState also published updated data on the situation in Sumy Oblast. 62.6 sq km of the Sumy Oblast border area is under the control of Russian troops.

These are such settlements as Zhuravka, part of Veselivka of the Khotyn community, as well as Novenke and Basivka of the Yunakivka community.

The enemy is pressing with offensive actions in the direction of Vodolag, Bilovodiv of the Khotyn community, and Lokni of the Yunakiv community.

A 43-year-old local resident was also injured. He is receiving necessary medical care.

Residential buildings were damaged as a result of the impact of the KABs.
