The deputy commander of the 3rd assault explained the purpose of the concentration of Russian troops near Kharkiv and Sumy regions.

Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Maksym Zhorin, warns citizens to be careful at the border due to the difficult situation. He emphasizes that it will be difficult for Russian troops to capture all regions or regional centers.

The task is most likely to simply penetrate deep into the territory and use this, including in the negotiation process. They will say that they could take the entire region, they just didn't want to.

According to Zhorin, Russia lacks the strength for a large-scale offensive, but even small movements can be used for propaganda purposes. Therefore, he calls for logistics preparation, closing roads with anti-drone nets, and constructing engineering structures to combat drones.

Concentration of enemy forces in the Kursk direction

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russia is preparing for an offensive in Sumy region through the Kursk direction. Currently, over 50,000 Russian troops are concentrated in this area. Experts believe that Russia will not have enough operational reserves for a simultaneous offensive in multiple directions.

Ukrainian military calls for caution at the border, preparation of logistics, and readiness for any potential military threats.
