Details: On 17 July, social media circulated information about an alleged Russian attempt to breach the border in Sumy Oblast, specifically near the villages of Chuikivka, Rozhkovychi and Sytne.

Quote from Demchenko: "I can confirm that there have been no recent breaches of the state border by Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups in Sumy Oblast, with no reported engagements in defence sectors by border units.

However, it is important to recognise that some enemy sabotage activity persists, although it's significantly reduced compared to earlier periods.

Among the tasks that sabotage groups may undertake are locating positions of Ukrainian defenders and conducting operations aimed at attacking our defence forces and deploying resources to their locations.

Our soldiers understand this threat well and are taking all necessary measures to pre-empt sabotage attempts, promptly uncover them, and of course, push them out of Ukrainian territory."
