Offensive and rapid occupation of Sumy: RF is spreading fakes about a new attack on Ukraine - MBA

Russian propagandists launched a wave of fakes about the loss of the Armed Forces and war crimes against the battlefield. Among the materials are statements about the new offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the northern regions of Ukraine. Russia will not re -attack Ukraine from the northern direction. The information that is spread on this topic by Rosmia is fake and manipulative.

Alexei Drozdenko, the head of Sumy City Military Administration, wrote about the real situation in the Sumy region. Drozdenko noted that he was forced to respond to posts in the network, which refers to a new offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the northern direction and about the possibility of occupying Sumy. The official stressed that such posts are "fakes and manipulations".

The Kremlin spreads harmful theses within the framework of information and psychological special operation (IPSO) against Ukrainians,-the message reads. Meanwhile, Ukrainians can be calm: first, "there is no real threat", and secondly, the Armed Forces gathered sufficient capacity to reject the enemy in the event of attack, Drozdenko is confident. The Telegram channels of Sumy and Chernihiv Regional Administrations have not yet commented on the Russian Federation about the new attack.

It should be noted that publications appeared in social networks and media outlets that analyzed the possibility of repeated attempts by the Russians to attack the northern regions of Ukraine, in particular - Sumy region. For example, a military expert, Colonel of the Armed Forces Petro Chernyk, spoke about this issue: in his opinion, as of February 2024, he does not see signs of the offensive.

He pointed out that the enemy gathered at the border a 15,000th army, while about 40,000 people of live power were required for the offensive, and about 800 tanks, 2. 5 thousand BMPs and a thousand artillery guns. Earlier, Focus talked about measures that take defense forces to protect the northern borders of Ukraine. In February 2024, then the commander of the United Lieutenant General Sergey Naev showed the process of construction of fortifications.

On the photos you can see how underground armor is dug into the ground, trenches are dug, strips of concrete pyramids and mine barriers are installed. In addition, the General said, the Ukrainian military is monitoring the advent of sabotage groups and immediately neutralized. Meanwhile, the Russians continue to fire the border areas of Chernihiv and Sumy region.

On February 4, saboteurs of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation tried to break into the territory of Sumy region: they were neutralized with small arms and mortars. The Ukrainian media reported two settlements where several dozen people still live. At the same time, several more Russian fakes are spreading in the network. One refers to the great loss of the Armed Forces as a result of a blow to Selidovo. In the second - about torture in captivity.
