“In our direction, the enemy continues to use sabotage and reconnaissance groups. This is facilitated by the deterioration of weather conditions and natural features – continuous forest areas, swampy areas, small rivers, reservoirs. However, the Defense Forces have built an effective defense system, intelligence tools are working that allow detecting such attempts kilometers away and causing maximum damage, anti-sabotage reserves are also involved,” Bazhan said.
According to him, “on the other side of the northern border, there are no signs of an accumulation of enemy forces that could pose a threat.”
“Along the entire line of responsibility of our group, the enemy maintains its military presence, shelling the border areas, conducting reconnaissance activities, as well as building mine-explosive barriers and carrying out fortification works. However, no signs of the creation of any large-scale group were found,” Bazhan assured.
He said that “the enemy continues to shell the border areas of Chernihiv, part of Sumy, and part of Kharkiv regions.”
According to Bazhan, “last day, December 15, there were 37 shellings from various types of weapons and 89 explosions. No losses among the local population or damage to civil infrastructure were detected. Seven UAVs of the Shahed type were also destroyed.
In the Kharkiv region, the border guards repelled an attempt by the Russian sabotage and reconnaissance group (DRG) to enter the country, said Andrii Demchenko, the spokesman of the State Border Service, on the telethon on December 13.
Earlier in social networks, from a link to the map of the DeepState project, reports appeared that Russian troops had allegedly entered a border village in the Sumy Oblast – the village of Oleksandria in the Myropil community. The authorities and the DPSU denied the information about the breakthrough of the border by Russian troops in the Sumy region.
