It became known where the Russian army may intensify its offensive.


The Russian occupiers have intensified their activities in the Sumy region. This was reported by the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army 'South' Serhiy Bratchuk.
Among the regions where the enemy may deploy their forces most actively is Sumy. Today, a format of sabotage and reconnaissance units is operating there, leading to a reaction from the Defense Forces to risks and challenges, he said.
According to Bratchuk, the enemy is paying special attention to the Pokrovsk and Kupiansk directions. Escalation is also observed in the Lyman direction, in the area of Toretsk and Chasiv Yar, where the Russians are trying to create an advantage in personnel to continue their offensive actions.
In my opinion, the activity of Russian forces indicates a search for weak points in our defense, followed by a concentration of efforts there, creating an advantage in personnel, mechanized components, and the involvement of aviation, Bratchuk added.
Analysis:
The spokesperson's statement indicates a possible escalation of the situation in the Sumy region due to the activities of the Russian occupiers. This could lead to an increase in threats and a potential offensive from the enemy. Military actions in this area are an important indicator of the escalation of the conflict, so proper attention must be paid to this and defensive positions strengthened.
