How is the situation developing in the Sumy direction?

Now they are accumulating troops in the Sumy direction. More than 50 thousand. We understand. But we have successes there. Today (May 27 — ed.), for example, they took 8 prisoners in the Tyotkino area (a village in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation — ed.).

According to the head of state, the Russian occupiers are actively conducting sabotage operations in the Sumy region, but Ukrainian soldiers are successfully restraining the enemy.

It is also indicated that the largest and strongest Russian soldiers are currently located in the Kursk direction.

They are not only trying to push the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of the Kursk region, but are also preparing offensive actions against the Sumy region.

"To build this buffer zone, which they call it, 10 kilometers deep into Ukraine. I think they understand that they lack these opportunities," added Volodymyr Zelensky.

The head of state is convinced that Russia will do everything possible to cross the administrative border of the Dnipropetrovsk region and capture Pokrovsk, which is in the Donetsk region.
