Russian Federation attacks in Sumy region
Despite the attempts of Russian troops to advance in the north of Ukraine, the enemy is still attacking the border territories of the Sumy region.
So, in addition to regular shelling of Sumy and other regions, the Russians periodically carry out forays of sabotage and reconnaissance groups into the border territory of northern Ukraine.
As an example, the day before, the commander of the Joint Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Sergei Naev, reported that the Ukrainian military repelled an attempt by the enemy DRG to cross the border in the Sumy region.
However, such Russian attacks have other consequences. Thus, on February 3, it became known that in the Sumy region traffic was banned for civilian vehicles on a number of roads within a five-kilometer strip from the state border of Ukraine.
The military introduced this order after Russian saboteurs shot a 54-year-old man and his 68-year-old sister.
