Russian troops are trying to expand their sphere of influence in the Kharkiv region
According to the State Border Guard Service, Russia is attempting to extend its sphere of influence in the Kharkiv region. Despite a decrease in the number of sabotage and reconnaissance groups, Russian provocations continue.
The head of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, reported: 'The enemy is trying to expand its sphere of influence, especially in the Kharkiv region, where there are two active directions of hostilities - Lyptsy and Vovchansk. Even with decreased activity of Russian sabotage groups, the threat of their actions remains.'
The greatest threat from the Russian Federation comes from shelling, which continues in the Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions. Most shelling has been recorded in Sumy, less so in Chernihiv.
