Following Russia's assault and capture of Sumy earlier this year Ukrainian forces have retaken the Sumy Oblast.
Good work chaps.
Quote:Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that the defence forces are succeeding in driving Russian troops out of the border areas of Sumy Oblast, and that the village of Andriivka has been liberated.
"Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi gave a report on the situation on the front and our active operations. Special and significant attention was paid to the Pokrovsk front and our Sumy Oblast – the border districts of our Sumy Oblast. We are managing to drive Russian forces out of there. I thank all our units who are truly delivering results.
Based on the past few days, special gratitude goes to the soldiers of the 225th Separate Assault Regiment – namely for their offensive actions in the border area of Sumy Oblast and for the liberation, in particular, of Andriivka", he said.
Zelensky also commended the 425th Separate Assault Regiment for its progress in the Pokrovsk direction, and highlighted the 1st Separate Assault Regiment and the 82nd Separate Airborne Assault Brigade for their successes in battles across the Donetsk region.
Good work chaps.
