[Korrespondent] Russian troops have established themselves in most parts of the settlement and their presence is maintained there.

The Russian occupiers were able to gain a foothold with Grabovsky in the border of the Sumy region. There are close to hundreds of enemies there, or rather the number is difficult to name - Russian soldiers are steadily moving through the cordon as pawns. The current occupiers are not the “elite” of the Russian army, but they are not yesterday’s “mobs,” said the river commander of the United Nations Forces, Viktor Tregubov, on the air of the United News.

“The Russians unfortunately, has become entrenched in the deserted part of the settlement and its presence is preserved there,” said Tregubov.

Behind his words, constant military conflicts are observed, otherwise the Russians cannot get through. Spearheads in Grabovsky are not the so-called “elite” of the Russian army, but the fighters of the primary Russian motorized rifle brigade, typical Russian regional contract soldiers who went to serve in the occupying army of the Russian Federation for great pennies.

According to the words of the Ukrainian officer of the Grouped Joint Forces Operation, the situation for the border settlement is quite standard, as if it were not a “wonderful operation” of the Russians from the abduction of civilians from Grabovsky. Before that, the behavior of the Russians is quite wonderful.

“Having entered with the actual kidnapping of people in Yasir, we have tried the pressure on many directions, not entirely true, but not so Raptov and Massov, so to say that there is a strategic operation brewing there yet early,” said Tregubov.

Having added that there is no point in talking about those that the Defense Forces want to withdraw from other directions. It looked like a small single operation, which was carried out by the top rank for the sake of informational and political purposes.

"It is possible that there is informational provocation. But such a moment that they just came in and took away a lot of people has never happened to us before. It happened that they took people after the occupation of a populated area and after the hour of need, having filtration activities, and if they immediately start transporting people, then no,” summed up the riverman.

Apparently, DeepState reported that the village of Grabovske, Sumy region, came under the control of Russian occupiers .
