SBGS: The Russian Federation deploys assault groups in Sumy region but suffers heavy losses

This was reported by the spokesperson of the State Border Guard Service, Andriy Demchenko.

However, this strategy is not yielding results — the enemy suffers daily losses in the form of dozens of killed and wounded.

According to Demchenko, Russia has concentrated its efforts on a small section of the state border — within the Khotynska and Yunakivska communities of the Sumy region.

This is where the occupiers actively use the tactic of small assault groups, trying to penetrate deep into Ukrainian territory.

"The enemy uses the tactic of small assault groups, but recently this tactic has not been allowing them to achieve the expected results: to penetrate as deeply as possible into our country and capture border areas," — noted Demchenko.

Enemy losses

Ukrainian border guards, together with units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, deliver precise fire strikes on the enemy daily.

According to the spokesperson, within the confines of the State Border Guard Service’s defensive lines, enemy losses are counted in dozens:

"Every day it’s dozens of killed, dozens of wounded. This is just the result of actions within the defensive lines of the State Border Guard Service, which are also located here alongside units of the Armed Forces," — he emphasized.

The Sumy region remains one of the most vulnerable sections of the Ukrainian border.

The total length of the demarcation line with Russia within the region is about 550 km, which provides the enemy with the opportunity to constantly attempt breakthroughs and test the Armed Forces’ defences with small units.
