Russia accumulates troops: Zelensky reports danger for Sumy region.

Increase of Russian troops at the border indicates the occupiers' intention to attack the Sumy region, - Zelensky

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported that the Russian army is accumulating forces on the eastern border of Ukraine. This gives grounds to believe that the occupiers are planning an attack on the Sumy region. Zelensky stated that Ukraine will counter such actions.

We understand this and will counteract. It is desirable that all partners understand what Putin is planning, what he is preparing for, and what exactly he will ignore. The accumulation of Russian forces indicates that Moscow intends to continue ignoring diplomacy. The prolongation of the war by Russia is evident.

Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine is ready to provide its partners with real information about the situation at the front, in the Kursk region, and along the entire border.

Earlier, Volodymyr Zelensky stated that during a meeting with the American delegation in Saudi Arabia, issues of territories were raised, although this was not on the agenda.

It should be noted that Russian troops in the north of Sumy region have begun to use small infantry units in addition to reconnaissance-diversion groups.
