While fighting continues in the Kursk region, the Russian army is trying to break through the cordon near the Sumy region. In small assault groups, the Russians are trying to push into the depths of Ukraine, close down, near the village of Novenka and consolidate.
What is known about the attempt of the Russian Federation to break through the cordon in Sumshchyna and what is really happening there – collected by RBC-Ukraine in the material.
What do Russians say about “breaking the cordon” in the Sumy region
In the remaining years, the Russian army intensified its offensive in the Kursk region, trying to withdraw the Ukrainian troops from Kursk region, which have been there since the operation began in the sickle of 2024 Roku.
As part of this, the enemy continues to carry out raids around the international cordon between the Sumy and Kursk regions. Zokrema, the aggressor sends his attack aircraft in small groups near the village of Novenke (Sumy region), as he is in the border area, where he is trying to gain a foothold.
As the head of the Sumy OVA, Volodymyr Artyukh, declared for days, the Russian troops were dispersed on the territory of the region every day, and individual groups are dying. The enemy is witnessing intense shelling of the Sumy region, more and more frequent drone strikes.
“Today, the territory of the region has not been invaded by the Russians. There is a strong desire to enter the Sumy region in large groups, however, our Armed Forces, defense forces, and air and missile The level of this group is declining,” Artyukh said.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who yesterday for the first time conquered the Kursk region within an hour of the seven-month ZSU operation, ordered his terrorist forces to “in the shortest term” suppress Ukrainian forces from The Kursk region will “think” about creating a so-called “safety zone” around the Russian cordon of the Kursk region.
The Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, Valery Gerasimov, added to Putin that “in all directions, the Russian army” never left the Kursk border, or “crossed the border and went to the Sumy region.”

What is expected: explanation of the Derzhprikordonservice
According to the DPSU, the situation within the Sumy region, according to the view that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are conducting their operation in the Kursk region, has not changed fundamentally.
“In fact, on the left flank, as we look at this territory, the enemy, as it has been there before, has accumulated, cross our cordon, gain a foothold. Let’s go straight to the settlement of Novenka,” a DPSU river officer said in a comment to RBC-Ukraine Andriy Demchenko.
In his words, the enemy’s goal for everything is the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region or the cutting of logistics routes. However, it does not allow the enemy to gain a foothold at the gate, and the fragments of the cordon are not allowed to break through the Ukrainian cordon.
“That’s why the stinks (Russians – ed.) have gone as far as the tactics of stagnating small assault groups. This is actually due to the fact that a group can reach a maximum of 5 military servicemen with the task of crossing our cordon, crossing our cordon as much as possible, consolidating, accumulate and expand the zone of combat operations,” like Demchenko.
He said that the Ukrainian soldiers would resist the occupiers, not allowing them to gain a foothold.
“In fact, this territory is such a kill zone. Muscovites run and die, because they are being hunted. And the enemy cannot reach their goal. However, more than once on the left flank the enemy tries to carry out such actions,” – appointing Demchenko.
Having guessed that while the Ukrainian bridgehead on the territory of the Kursk region was wider, approximately 3 years ago the Russian military tried to break through the cordon directly to the village of Zhuravka. Then the enemy will bring to the vikorist colonies the technology that was brought to our cordon. Ale stinks of poverty.

The river policeman of the DPSU also mentioned yesterday’s Russian statements about the fact that their military forces were able to cross the Ukrainian cordon in Sumshchyna.
“In fact, I will break the cordon, how can we interpret the Russian Federation, at the moment there is no one. Those who, outside the military service, crossed the cordon, trying to gain a foothold on our territory, and then died, without breaking cordon. In fact, the entire line of the border with Russia can be invaded by the front line.
It is clear that the situation in the Kursk region continues to deteriorate. The goal is to cut off the ZSU logistics by reaching the important Sumi-Sudzha highway and shortening the width of the bridgehead of the Ukrainian forces. What is there, what are the reasons for the deterioration of the situation and why the ZSU “buffer” is being squeezed in – in the accompanying material from RBC-Ukraine.
