Head of Sumy RMA told whether there is a risk of Russian troops breaking through the border

In the Sumy region of Ukraine, the number of attacks by the army of the aggressor state of Russia has increased significantly. Invaders from the territory of the Russian Federation are hitting border settlements, but at the moment there is no risk that they can break through the border.

The head of the Sumy regional military administration, Volodymyr Artyukh, said this on Monday, March 18 on Radio Liberty . According to him, it is not currently recorded that the occupiers may have a great advantage against the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters in this area.

“We know today the data that allows us to say that there is a great advantage in relation to our Armed Forces, which would allow us to say that there are such possible actions of the enemy... I would not assess it that way. Knowing both our forces and knowing the forces of the enemy, therefore today there is no such danger,” he said.

Artyukh added that up to five populated border points of the Sumy region are suffering the most from shelling. In each of them, according to the head of the RMA, there are from 3 to 10 people left who are being evacuated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“I think we will evacuate them from there in the next day or two. The situation in other settlements is less threatening,” he added.
