Russian forces intensifying offensive in Sumy region – Tregubov

This was stated on television by Viktor Tregubov, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Joint Forces Grouping, Ukrinform reports.

“In the Sumy region, the Russians have noticeably become more active, at least in our sector, both in Hrabovske and to the north of it. There is also another salient there,” the spokesperson said.

According to him, the enemy is “quite actively” trying to advance in the Sumy direction and expand its areas of control.

“We are talking about small distances of 1 to 1.5 km from the border, but it is still unpleasant,” Tregubov added.

As reported, 107 combat engagements between Ukraine’s Defense Forces and Russian troops were recorded on the frontline over the past day, April 12. Since the announcement of the ceasefire regime, 10,721 violations by Russian forces have been documented.
