The Russians can launch an offensive on Sumy. They have enough opportunities to do so.
This was stated by the commander of the Achilles strike unmanned aerial vehicle battalion. The full-scale war in Ukraine continues and the Russians are looking for ways to open a new front.
The commander spoke about the presence of enemy reserves in the Sumy direction.
“Unfortunately, yes, it is enough. The enemy can maintain a high-intensity pace of hostilities. Is there a possibility to gather a group to try to cross the state border line in Kharkiv or Sumy regions? Unfortunately, there is. The enemy is constantly conducting reconnaissance, groping for the state of the state border line, looking for weak spots. This is being done with one goal - in the future, to try to cross the state border line,” Fedorenko added.
Yuriy Fedorenko, commander of the Achilles Battalion of the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade, also reported on successes in the Kharkiv direction.
“The General Staff will tell us more about this, since some positions are transitional. But there is a positive trend in de-occupation, most of the positions from which we managed to knock out the enemy remain with us. The enemy is not going to leave the Kharkiv region, it is using everything available. Despite this, the Defense Forces have concrete results both in terms of holding positions, and we are additionally implementing offensive actions to knock out the enemy from our land,” Fedorenko noted.
He also shared his thoughts on the enemy's strategic goals in the Kharkiv direction, emphasizing that the occupiers cannot achieve them.
"Will the enemy be able to realize the intentions he set for himself in the Kharkiv region? This is consolidating the bridgehead in Vovchansk, reaching the rear of the group that is performing tasks in the Kupyansk sector, and approaching the administrative borders of Kharkiv as close as possible to take it under control, in particular with the help of cannon artillery. Will the enemy succeed? At the moment, definitely not," said Fedorenko.
