“Currently, Russian units are entrenched in the southern part of Grabovskoye. Ukrainian forces are trying to knock them out of their positions. Fighting continues in the village,” said Tregubov.
He also expressed the opinion that settlements that are located directly on the border with Russia and from which it is possible to get to the territory of the Russian Federation on foot, can be secured only if a zone of control of Ukrainian troops is created several kilometers deep into Russian territory.
Prehistory:
- The publication “Kordon.Media” reported that on the night of December 20, in the Krasnopil region of the Sumy region, Russian troops entered the border village of Grabovske, located directly on the border line.
- They wrote that “as of the evening of December 20, there is enemy infantry in the village of Ryasne.”
- The following day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed that Russian troops crossed the state border of Ukraine near the village of Grabovskoe in the Sumy region on the border with Russia and took more than 50 civilians from there. According to the General Staff, “stabilization measures” are ongoing there. At the same time, the Armed Forces denied data about the enemy’s advance towards Ryasny.
- At the same time, according to “Ukrainian Pravda”, the breakthrough of the Russian invaders was not instantaneous. WITHrehearsals of the assault on the border area of the Sumy Oblast in the Grabovskoye area have been going on for several days.
- Analytical project DeepState reported that a group of Ukrainian fighters who held the border area in the village of Grabovskoe, in the Sumy Oblast, was irresponsible in the execution of tasks, which led to the fact that the Russians entered there. Officially the United Forces group does not comment on this information.
