Russian troops in the border
“Based on the results of May and June, we can say that the wave of attempts at a ‘summer offensive’ launched by the enemy from Russian territory has been choked off,” General Oleksandr Syrskiy said. “As of this week, the advance of Russian troops in the border area of the Sumy region has been stopped, and the line of combat contact has been stabilized.” Sumy “is a supporting effort, though an important one,” Torres said. “It keeps significant Ukrainian forces tied down in a noncritical operational direction while allowing the Russians to gain control of an essential piece of terrain.” Russian troops have been pushing into the height-of-land Donetsk region city of Chasiv Yar since the spring of 2024 after seizing the larger city of Avdiyivka in February that year. สล็อต
