According to him, the residents of these villages were evacuated a long time ago, so there is no threat to the civilian population there.
What is also important to understand is that the Russian invaders are not giving up attempts to break through in order to create the so-called "buffer zone."
Fighting continues on the outskirts of the village of Vodolagy and near Volodymyrivka, Bilovodi, Kostyantynivka, and Kindrativka in the Khotyn community, as well as on the outskirts of Loknia in the Yunakiv community.
Despite this, Ukrainian defenders keep the situation under control, inflicting precise fire damage on the Russian army.
Our defenders are resolutely repelling enemy attacks and preventing them from advancing deep into the territory of Sumy region, — emphasized Oleg Hrygorov.
