This was stated by the spokesman of the General Staff, Major Dmytro Lykhoviy, in a comment to LB.ua.

‘Regarding media reports that Russians have allegedly occupied almost 2 square kilometres of Sumy region. The information is not true. Both the relevant operational and tactical group of the Armed Forces and border guards deny such reports,’ he said.

The General Staff spokesman called for trusting information exclusively from official sources.

Earlier, the Sumy Regional Military Administration also called the reports about the border crossing spread in the media ‘hostile disinformation that does not correspond to reality.’

‘Currently, there is no information from the military about changes in the situation at the border, the situation is under control,’ said Volodymyr Artyukh, head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration.

What preceded it

On the night of December 10, DeepState reported that the Russian army had advanced, in particular, near Oleksandria in Sumy region.

The analysts also reported that the Russians had advanced near 8 settlements in Donetsk region and near the village of Plekhovo in Kursk region.

Over the past day, the Russian occupation army lost at least 1,350 soldiers in the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed 5 tanks and 14 Russian drones.
