The aggressor country concentrated about 50,000 soldiers near Sumi.
This number is approximately three times higher than the number of Ukrainian units in this direction. The occupation forces are 20 km from the regional center. Moscow made the amount of the next key goal and uses its advantage in strength. This was reported by Wall Street Journal.
It is noted that last year the front extended to more than 1 thousand 200 km, and Russian troops check the defense of the armed forces in different directions, causing blows where weaknesses are detected.
In May, the Russians managed to overcome a breakthrough in the Sumi region, and the Ukrainian command urgently suffered the elite military intelligence forces to stabilize the situation. Thus, the advance of the Russians was stopped, and some of the captured territories were conquered.
The Ukrainian military, which are in this direction, said that almost everywhere they have smaller resources and are forced to fight in difficult conditions.
According to WSJ, the defense positions in the Ukrainian territory were not sufficiently prepared after the retreat from Kursk. There are no mine fields in many areas. And the trenches were built in such a way that they cannot protect Ukrainian defenders from Russian drones. The defenders said that they were forced to dig new shelters literally under fire.
Every day without fortifications is the day when one of us cannot return, ”said the infantryman Kirill, who had previously fought in the Kursk region, and now in Sumi.
We will recall that on June 29, Ukrainian Pravda, citing sources in law enforcement agencies, said that the army of the Russian Federation was reached by artillery with Sumi suburbs. It was stated that the village of Pesan was fired in Hyacinth Sua, which could surpass 33-40 km.
Subsequently, at the center of the fight against misinformation, they stated that the shelling of the regional center from the artillery of the Russian army was not recorded.
