As of March 19, a spokesman of the 15 mobile brigade of the National Guard "Steel Border" Ivan Shevtsov told "Kyiv 24". Shevtsov assured that Russian troops did not start an attack on the Sumy region. There are attacks of small units-two or three people. The saboteurs try to break through and without the use of military equipment, he said. According to the representative of the NSU team, the Russians are stopped at a distance of hundreds of meters from the border in the nearest settlements.
The Russians are not helping civilian ATVs, which they dare to use, hear on video. "Information that the enemy has started a large -scale offensive in Sumy region is not true. Those even small, small groups that manage to move there for several hundred meters deep into the territory of Ukraine, they are promptly destroyed," Shevtsov explained. The presenter also answered the question of whether the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was a shock group for a possible attack on the Sumy region.
The spokesman of the steel border emphasized that the Russian command really holds some forces in the rear of the Russian Federation. But the number of soldiers and equipment indicates that in the near future "a full -scale offensive is impossible. " "I will not say that there is little there. But such a group that would say that the Russian Federation is trying to conduct some large -scale offensive actions," there was no time, " - summed up the presenter.
The report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, which appeared at 16:00 on March 19, among other things, tells of massive strikes of artillery and aviation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation about almost a dozen settlements in Sumy region. In addition, the command reported that fighting in the Kursk region: Ukrainian fighters reflected nine enemy attacks. On the DeepState project, we see a gray strip of fighting on the border between the two areas.
The strip began to expand, approximately, March 12-13 and today swept the villages of Novnyke and Basivka near the road from Sudzhi to Yunakivka and Sumy. It should be noted that on March 18, a spokesman for the Siversk Operation and Tactical Group Vadim Misnyk reported the emergence of Russian saboteurs in the Sumy region. According to the presenter, the enemy tries to test the strength of Ukrainian defense.
