“Volodymyr Babych, the deputy head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration, said that the regional authorities are aware of the photos and videos from the border village of Grabovskoe, which were released the day before by analysts of the DeepState project. He announced this on Radio Svoboda. “These footage that you say circulated on the Internet became known to us today,” he said on the air of the Svoboda Live program. He emphasized that control over military positions in the region is not within the competence of the regional military-civilian administration, however, they are in constant contact with the military command, in particular with the units of the 14th Army Corps and the brigade that maintains the defense in this area. Babich added that the military will conduct its own investigations, after which a legal assessment of their actions will be provided. The day before, it became known that the Russian military entered the territory of the border village of Grabovskoe in the Sumy region. On December 21, the DeepState analytical group published a photo and information that the personnel of the military who held positions near the village of Grabovskoe were “irresponsible in the performance of tasks”, namely: “they provided their service weapons to the locals, behaved safely under enemy drones and could “cover the clearing” under the same drones. Analysts called for an audit of border areas and verification of the holding of positions. The head of the communications department of the United Forces Group, Viktor Tregubov, said that the length of the border with the Russian Federation is huge, “it is absolutely obvious that it is impossible to simply put ten fortified districts on the border in each border village.” “It’s impossible, and it wouldn’t be wise, because FAB will just fly into them and there will be a lot of dead Ukrainians, so the task was to knock them out (Russians) as soon as they enter. The problem in Grabovsky was the presence of the civilian population there, which the Russians used as a human shield. This is the main problem – that not all people evacuate… and then such an incident occurs. The village is within walking distance to the border,” Tregubov said on the air of the national telethon. According to him, it was necessary to react when the forces of the Russian Federation began to move, but the problem was that they immediately had access to Ukrainian civilians, that is why it is necessary to evacuate, but it is not the job of the Armed Forces to call or forcibly evacuate the civilian population. On December 21, the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed the forced removal of about half a hundred Ukrainian civilians from Grabovskoye by the Russian military. According to the report, they are mostly elderly men and women, one of the women is 89 years old. The military noted that “as a result of the rapid offensive of the enemy, the units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine withdrew from several positions in the Grabovskoye area.” At the same time, the United Forces group reported that the Ukrainian military is trying to dislodge Russian forces from the border village of Grabovskoe in the Sumy Oblast, and fighting continues there. At the same time, according to the military, “despite separate reports in the media, there are currently no Russians in the nearby village of Ryasne.””, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
