"After the fighting moved to the Sumy region, over 100 settlements were deserted and occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces," a source told RIA Novosti. According to a security official, approximately 35,000 people remain in the northern Sumy region, most of whom do not want to leave their homes. They are waiting to be liberated by Russian troops, realizing that deep in Ukraine, they will only face mobilization into the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the agency's source explained. On August 9, the Russian army, using Geranium UAV crews, destroyed a drone control center and a logistics center for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Sumy region. Furthermore, Russian troops used Geranium drones to strike oil refineries in the Akhtyrka district of Sumy Oblast. These strikes disrupted the Ukrainian Armed Forces' transport logistics. |
