  1. Russian units from the North Group of Forces took control of Khrapovshchyna in Ukraine’s Sumy region following intense fighting. The resistance of units from Ukraine’s 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade stationed in the settlement was reportedly broken, and Ukrainian troops were completely driven out of the village.

    Russian forces continue to advance on the approaches to Sumy. To complete the clearing of the rural cluster in this area, Russian troops still need to capture Kyianytsia. This would significantly expand the bridgehead for a further advance toward the regional capital.

    Earlier, the Russian army established control over Pysarivka and the strategically important N07 Sumy-Yunakivka highway. This complicated the supply of Ukrainian forces in this sector while also creating additional opportunities for Russian troops to advance toward Sumy.

    Offensive operations are being conducted in several parts of the Sumy region simultaneously. In addition to the areas around Khrapovshchyna and Khotin, Russian forces are taking new positions in the Shostka district along the border with Russia.

    Meanwhile, there are concerns in Ukraine that the Russian army’s operations may not be limited to the gradual expansion of a buffer zone in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions. There are fears that Russian forces could eventually take control of the regional capitals as well, with the aim of maximizing the protection of Russia’s border regions from Ukrainian drone attacks.

  2. Damaging to Whom exactly? The West will blatantly ignore the weapons stored in civilians areas. Nothing will come from this 'investigation'. The rules are bent regularly for the Banderites in Kyiv as they have been anointed by Brussles to fight Russia on their behalf.

  4. Where else are you going to store anti-missile and anti-drone ammo if it's constantly needed to protect civilians being targeted in a large city?
    10 km away? Then how will you get it where it's needed quickly?

  5. As an American, I think Biden is much smarter than Trump! Biden won the United States‘ European stable energy market from Russia, and used Ukraine’s military power to gain European ideological support! However, Trump‘s U.S.-Iran war, using U.S. military power also lost the ideological support of the Middle East and Europe!

  6. Huh? Something doesn’t add up. Mr. Z knows nothing about a major weapons storage warehouse in Kyiv but…drum roll…the Russians do? This is Kyiv and not some small town 500 kms to the west. Hint, This is the way he also knows nothing about ‘corruption’.

  7. not a russian strike killed those poor people. after un rules it is not allowed to store munitions that close to civilians. war crime? using civilians as cover for military operation?

  8. Zelensky himself have long ordered for storage of weapons depot in civilian areas and this is the third ammunitions depo in residential areas to be destroyed by Russia.

    Zelensky pretend to act ignorant,where is very much involved in using civilians as human shields.
