North Slobodsky, which we call the Sumy direction. We are leveling the position. What is important: there are 53 thousand Russians there. The fighting there is along the border. You must understand that the enemy is stopped there. And the maximum depth at which the fighting takes place is 7 km from the border. So that people also understand how far Sumy is.
