“The defense of the Sou is dense enough, and now the propaganda of the Russians traditionally “inflates” the possibilities of Russian troops to rub reality, Andrey Kovalenko said”, – WRITE: www.radiosvoboda.org
“The enemy accumulates strength in Kurshchyna and Belgorod region, fights in the border, Sumy and Kharkiv region. The forces of defense were preparing for these actions by the enemy, and all the activity of the Russians is accompanied by aggressive propaganda regarding the “collapse of the front” and allegedly “their ability to delve by almost 50 km”, which is not true and capabilities of the Russian troops. The defense of the Sou is dense enough, and now the propaganda of the Russians has traditionally “inflated” the possibilities of Russian troops to wipe reality. It was also a year ago with events in Vovchansk, when the enemy wrote about the attack on Kharkiv, ”Kovalenko wrote in a telegram.
He noted that the fighting in the borderline is difficult, “and there is difficult because of a considerable amount of hostile forces,” but their capabilities “are far from being voiced by the military of the Russians.”
“The most important thing is that the warriors themselves know about it too,” Kovalenko said.
The day before, the chairman of the Sumy Regional Military Administration Oleg Grigorov informed that the Russian army controls four settlements in the border regions: New, Basivka of the Yunakiv Community and Veselivka, Zhuravko of the Khotin Community. The head of the region added that the inhabitants of these villages were previously evacuated, so there is no threat to civilian population.
According to Grigorov, the Russian army continues to promote in order to create the so -called “buffer zone”, which was previously stated by Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
On May 15, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the Russian army has been conducting offensive actions for several months on all directions on the front line. He called Sumsky the main direction – “67 thousand Russian troops were concentrated.”
