Ukrainian forces have halted Russia’s recent advance into the northeastern Sumy region and stabilised the front line near the Russian border, Ukraine’s top military commander said Thursday.
The Ukrainian military's commander-in-chief, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, stated that a successful defence in the Sumy region has prevented Russia from redeploying around 50,000 troops, including elite airborne and marine brigades, to other parts of the front line.
