Ukrainian military says Russian forces building pressure in Sumy region

Investing.com -- Ukraine’s top military official, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, announced on Thursday that Russian forces were increasing their activities in the northeastern Sumy region in an effort to progress further into Ukrainian territory. Syrskyi made this announcement through a Facebook (NASDAQ:META) post.

The Sumy region, which shares a border with Russia’s Kursk region, has been an area of contention between the two nations. Ukrainian forces have been facing challenges in maintaining control over Russian territory they initially seized as part of a cross-border offensive that started in August of the previous year.

To counter the advancing Russian forces, the Ukrainian military has been carrying out both defensive and offensive operations. The primary objective of these operations, as stated by General Syrskyi, is to prevent the enemy from making significant inroads into Ukrainian territory.
