Ukrainian soldiers continue to hold territory in the Kursk region.

Information disseminated on social networks regarding the advancement of Russian units deep into the territory of Sumy region does not correspond to reality.

This was announced on the Telegram channel of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

It is noted that the situation on the border of the Sumy region with the Kursk region of the Russian Federation is under the control of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

“Russian occupiers are trying to enter some settlements of the Ukrainian border in small groups. The enemy is quickly destroyed by firepower thanks to coordinated actions and a defense system created in advance. Our defenders are successfully stopping all attempts by the invaders to gain a foothold on the territory of Sumy region,” the General Staff said in a statement.

At the same time, the General Staff notes, the enemy is suffering significant losses in manpower.

The Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is taking all necessary measures to strengthen our group of troops with technical means and reserves.

“Ukrainian soldiers also continue to hold territory in the Kursk region,” the headquarters emphasized.

As noted, the enemy does not cease to exert information and psychological pressure, disseminating its propaganda narratives with the aim of discrediting the military command and spreading panic and despondency in Ukrainian society. Citizens are asked to trust only official sources and verify information.
