Russia has attempted to use sabotage and reconnaissance groups to enter Ukraine’s northern Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts, Ukrainian Joint Forces Commander, Lieutenant-General Serhiy Nayev wrote on Telegram on July 18.
The Russians are shelling Ukraine’s northern oblasts with multiple rocket launchers, artillery and mortars, as well as launching airstrikes, he said.
The units of the North operational and strategic grouping are fully ready to repel any threats from Russia Nayev emphasized.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s General Staff has foreseen all possible options for the development of events and appropriate measures to strengthen positions in case of a possible escalation in the north.
The number of forces and equipment in the northern direction is sufficient to fulfill the tasks set by the state leadership, the officer stressed.
The Russians most often shell civilians and civil infrastructure facilities, Nayev added.
Earlier, the commander reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to strengthen defense measures on the border with Russia, creating a “no-go zone.” In particular, thousands of trenches and ditches have been dug over the past 10 days.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Reintegration announced that residents of the border areas of Sumy Oblast would be evacuated due to Russian constant shelling.
Ukraine launched a free daily evacuation train from Sumy Oblast to Kyiv on July 15.
At the same time, the State Border Guard Service has recorded the partial withdrawal of Russian units from Belarus. No enemy offensive group has been spotted near the northern borders of Ukraine.
The National Resistance Center reported on July 10 that Russia had transferred a group of cadet snipers to the northern border of Ukraine, allegedly for training.
