According to him, Russian troops can try to attack in this region to distract the Ukrainian forces from other areas of the front. The SSSU spokesman told this on May 21 in an interview with Radio Liberty. Demchenko stressed that Russian troops can attack the Sumy region, as is the case in the Kharkiv direction. "The enemy can at any time, even though he does not have enough strength, try to do something like that," he said.
The main purpose of such actions is to stretch the front line and to weaken Ukrainian defense in other directions. Therefore, Demchenko notes that further strengthening in the region, where the border with Russia is more than 560 kilometers, which requires considerable strength to maintain defense. "As long as we have such a neighbor, of course, we need to be prepared for the development of any situations," said the State Border Guard spokesman.
