State Border Service spokesman Andriy Demchenko denied the border breach, but noted that the enemy is using small assault groups.
The Russians have not breached the Ukrainian border in the Sumy region. The enemy is using small assault groups, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine are repelling them. This was reported by the spokesman for the State Border Service of Ukraine (SBSU) Andriy Demchenko on the air of the United News .
"Despite the recent statements made by Russia that they broke through the Ukrainian border, this is not true. In fact, the enemy continues to use small assault groups and it must be understood that opposite the area of territory within the Kursk region, where the Defense Forces conducted their operation, the enemy has accumulated quite large forces, both in terms of personnel and equipment," the official said.
According to him, the enemy is using these forces to try to knock the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of the Kursk region. The Russian Federation is trying to use these same forces, but in the form of small assault groups, in the direction of the settlements of Novenke and Zhuravka in the Sumy region.
The enemy will try to use the same tactics in other directions to expand the combat zone along the border or throughout the territory of Ukraine, Demchenko suggests.
"But our soldiers, using artillery, mortar crews, and drones, do not allow the enemy to achieve the goals he sets for himself," Demchenko said.
The speaker added that currently small enemy assault groups are being destroyed both on the approaches to the Ukrainian border and when the Russians have already crossed the state border.
