The 'Saboteurs' Have Become Active. The Authorities of Sumy Region Announced Evacuation from Several Settlements.
The Defense Council of the Sumy region has announced mandatory evacuation from eight settlements. A total of 543 people will be evacuated.
The head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration, Volodymyr Artiukh, reported that there is a problem with refusals to evacuate. However, actions of the Volunteer Reserve Groups have intensified throughout the entire front line in the region.
Remaining in these territories is becoming dangerous, complicating the actions of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. Knowledge about civilian citizens in these zones limits the actions of the Ukrainian military.
The National Police and the State Emergency Service will be involved in the evacuation process.
Difficult battles continue in the border area of the Sumy region. Russian troops are suffering significant losses while trying to break through in Basiivka between Zhuravka and Novenke in the Sumy region.
