[Regnum] Ukrainian military are “containing” the Russian offensive in the Sumy region. This was stated on June 20 by the head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, in a daily address on the Telegram channel.
He explained that the situation in Sumy Oblast was discussed at the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Headquarters meeting on June 20, and that this was the main issue. Zelensky, according to him, received "a very detailed report on the front."
"Special attention should be paid to Sumy region. The Russians had different plans and intentions there. The situation is serious," Zelensky admitted.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that the depth of the buffer zone in the Sumy region is from 10 to 12 km.
Putin noted that next is Sumy, the regional center. At the same time, according to the president, there is no such goal to take Sumy, but, in principle, this is not excluded.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, Russian troops eliminated more than 60 fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the settlement of Konotop in the Sumy region. This data was confirmed by the Russian Defense Ministry on June 18. The Iskander OTRK crew launched a missile strike on the permanent deployment point of the motorized infantry brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area.
