US EditionUkraine Says Sumy Region Village Taken Back From Russia
SUMY OBLAST, UKRAINE, AUG 10 – Ukrainian forces reclaimed Bezsalivka from Russian troops, killing 18 soldiers amid ongoing fighting in the Sumy region following Russia's renewed offensive in April 2025.
- On August 10, 2025, Ukrainian forces regained control of Bezsalivka, a settlement located in the northeastern part of the Sumy region, from Russian troops.
- The recapture followed months of intensified fighting after Russia launched a renewed offensive in the Sumy area in April 2025 and positioned about 50,000 troops near Sumy aiming to secure a border buffer zone.
- Bezsalivka lies less than 1 kilometer from the Ukraine-Russia border and has been a contested frontline site exposed to Russian airstrikes and frequent shelling on nearby Sumy city.
- Ukraine's General Staff reported the successful operation in a Telegram post, stating 18 Russian troops were eliminated, marking one of their significant ground gains in the region.
- This victory suggests Ukraine continues to partly reverse Russian advances in eastern Ukraine amid a four-year conflict, though Russia maintains significant forces and has recently made territorial gains elsewhere in the area.
