08/16/2025

The armed forces are making progress in the border areas of Sumy Oblast . In particular, in the relevant areas, the advance of Ukrainian units is from 1 to 2.5 kilometers. 

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is noted that in the North-Slobozhansk direction, Ukrainian soldiers continue active actions aimed at destroying the enemy and liberating our settlements. 

There is an advance of up to 2.5 km: the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on successes in the border area of Sumy region

The Armed Forces of Ukraine also emphasize that in order to prevent the logistical support, evacuation, and reinforcement of units of the Russian occupiers, zones of continuous fire destruction of the enemy are maintained in certain locations.

“In particular, active actions are taking place in the Oleksiivka and Yunakivka districts of Sumy region . The struggle continues! Glory to Ukraine!” – the General Staff summarized the situation.

It was previously reported that in the Sumy region, Ukrainian military intelligence  carried out targeted strikes  on the logistics of Russian troops.  This deprived the enemy of the opportunity to supply ammunition, fuel, and food.

In early August, the commander of the Airborne Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Brigadier General Oleg Apostol, said that Ukrainian forces  had managed to partially stabilize the situation in the Sumy region , where the Russians continue to press. According to him, in some places the invaders are being pushed back from the settlements they have captured. He also promised several painful surprises for the Russian troops, which could provide them with losses they have not had before.

As OBOZ.UA reported, defenders in the Sumy region border  are building anti-drone tunnels that protect against FPV drone attacks. These are specially equipped structures made of stretched nets that help to safely move personnel, military equipment, weapons, the wounded, as well as civilian transport along the roads in front-line areas.

    • I doubt Ukraine expected anything else than TACO folding like a taco. After the slaughter in the Pokrovsk area, it appears that putler is the needing a ceasefire, not Ukraine.

      • Yes, and despite his victory over taco man, the vampire didn’t seem as cheerful as he should’ve been. I think his roach army is giving him a big headache and his burning oil industry, too. These are hard facts the war criminal must face.
