Russian Forces Take Control of Katerynivka in Eastern Ukraine

As of today, the Russians do not control Basivka in Sumy region. They are trying to run in there in assault groups and look for cellars in order to gain a foothold, but the enemy is being destroyed,

Andriy Kovalenko, an official of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, said on Telegram messenger

The fighting in the Sumy region border area is complex and continues daily in several areas, and is also taking place in the Kursk border area,

he added

At the same time, the enemy also continues its tactic of using small assault groups that attempt to cross our border, build up, and expand the zone of fighting inside Ukrainian territory. This is particularly observed in the direction of Novenke–Basivka. These small assault groups are being systematically destroyed by Ukraine’s defence forces
