US EditionUkraine Has Halted Russia’s Advance in the Northern Sumy Region, Commander Says
- On June 26, 2025, Ukrainian forces successfully stopped the Russian push in the northern part of Sumy Oblast and secured the frontline close to the border.
- This progress followed months of intensified fighting and Russia's push earlier this year to seize border areas and create a buffer zone around Sumy Oblast.
- Ukrainian commander Oleksandr Syrskyi highlighted efforts to build fortifications, 'kill zones', and anti-drone defenses despite criticism of construction delays in the region.
- Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi reported that Ukrainian efforts have immobilized roughly fifty thousand Russian soldiers, among them specialized airborne and marine units, effectively blocking their transfer to other segments of the battlefield.
- These successes suggest a faltering of Russia's summer offensive in Sumy, though the volatile situation and ongoing drone attacks continue to challenge Ukrainian defenses.
