Ukrainian forces have successfully halted Russia’s recent advance into the northern Sumy region, stabilising the front line near the border, Ukraine’s top military commander announced on Thursday.
Col. Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, commander in chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, stated that these successes in Sumy have strategically prevented Russia from deploying approximately 50,000 troops, including elite airborne and marine brigades, to other critical areas of the front line.
