Mysnyk noted that the Russian occupiers are trying to bind the Defense Forces along the entire border line with Sumy Oblast.

The spokesman of the "Siversk" OSU noted that the occupying army of the Russian Federation keeps certain forces on the border with the Sumy region and conducts rotations and transfers.

He assured that the Ukrainian military is doing everything to prevent the Russian invaders from even approaching the state border.

How the Armed Forces oppose the activity of the DRG of the Russian Army on the border with Sumy Oblast

According to him, the Ukrainian military is also resisting the activity of enemy DRGs. They are trying to be detected while they are still on the territory of the Russian Federation and promptly liquidated.

But the defense is strengthened. We use detection means, because the enemy is trying to conduct reconnaissance with the help of UAVs, but our means of radio-electronic warfare do not give them the opportunity to fly deep into Ukrainian territory," Mysnyk emphasized. According to him, FPV drones are working to destroy the enemy who is trying penetrate into the territory of Ukraine. "And we are already trying to do this on the approach of the enemy to the border. But there are certain features - both relief and geographical, which we also take into account. Because the defense system is not always built in a straight line, and the main thing for us is to create full control of the state border, Mysnyk stressed.
