There used to be several attempts per week by SRGs to infiltrate Ukraine, leading to skirmishes as they were exposed and driven out. Recently, however, there have been no attempts by enemy SRGs to enter Ukraine."

Details: Demchenko stressed that "the situation in this area remains fully controlled, and the enemy advance has not been observed".

Meanwhile, the colonel added that Russia continues to target the territory of Ukraine, in particular Sumy Oblast, using a variety of weapons.
