Zelenskiy says Ukrainian forces make progress in Sumy border areas
(Reuters) -A President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday that the Ukrainian forces are moving in the border regions of the North Sumy region, an area where Russian troops have been trying to establish a basis for months.
Speaking at night video, Zelenskiy said that Ukraine’s best commander suffered significant losses in Donetsk and Kharkiv regions along the 1000 km (620 miles) facade of Moscow.
Zelenskiy spoke after a week of Russian statements, which underlined what he described as earnings in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Moscow.
Russian troops, almost daily announcements of the captured villages in Eastern Ukraine is a slow push.
Moscow annexed the four regions in part – Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson – but so far he has bought a series of villages along the edge of the administrative border.
“There are good results in the border regions of the Sumy region, Z Zelenskiy said, referring to the best commander Oleksandr Syrskyi. “Our units continue to move towards the state border of Ukraine.”
Earlier this year, since the Ukrainian forces from the Kursk region of Russia won, Russian troops tried to establish what they call a buffer zone in the Sumy region of the Kremlin. Russia regularly marble larger towns, including the city of Sumy.
Zelenskiy said that the Russian forces experienced significant losses under Russian pressure for months near Kupansk, an area in the Northeast Kharkiv region.
“We continue to work in the direction of Dobropillia,” he said. “It is important that Russian attacks are repulsed by our children.”
Denis Pushilin, some parts of the Donetsk region under the control of Moscow appointed by Russia, said in a video published online, pressing a mare movement near the villages around Pokrovsk.
In addition to the West, Oleksandr Prokudine, the governor of Kherson region, said that two people were killed in the bombing and drone attacks in different parts of the region in Telegram.
