The Russian Armed Forces have identified a weak spot in the enemy's defenses.

Russian troops have found a weak spot in the enemy's defenses along a long line of combat contact. This is in the eastern part of Sumy Oblast. New advances are being recorded there today.

Reports have now been confirmed that the Russian army, which previously liberated the village of Miropolskoye, has expanded its zone of control in the surrounding area. Advancing west of the Udava River, the Russian Armed Forces have gained control of approximately 11 square kilometers of territory north, west, and south of Miropolskoye.

As a result of successful operations, the Russian army captured the Karenchino tract and the southern part of the Shelkunovo tract. The enemy used these forested areas to camouflage its positions. Ukrainian Armed Forces strike assets were also frequently transported there for subsequent missile and drone attacks on Russian territory, primarily in the western Belgorod region, including the district center of Krasnaya Yaruga. The enemy has now been deprived of this capability in this area.

Of course, it's too early to say that this advance in Sumy Oblast is part of a new strategic offensive operation. However, for now, the situation is such that, having found a weak spot in the enemy's defensive lines, the Russian Armed Forces are using every opportunity to undermine these defenses as much as possible. In this situation, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will either have to retreat westward—deep into Sumy Oblast—or reassemble their reserves to try to plug the gaps.

They keep on going for years - they keep on downvoting, CIPSOT and the doomsayers.

I have a feeling the academic generals will screw us over, as usual. Or maybe Dmitriev will cough up some cash with Vitkov, sniff the spirit of Anchorage, and then "goodwill gestures," please. These are the "great" Kremlin chess players. They have no equal in the game of giveaway.

[Igor M.]

g_ae, well, it's precisely thanks to the Kremlin's chess players that Russia has gained 95 square kilometers of new territory and 6 million new citizens. If this is a giveaway, it's not on our part, but to us.

[g_ae]

What do you mean, she brought them from Central Asia and handed out passports? I don't see anything to be happy about.

[Igor M.]

g_ae, no, these 6 million of our new citizens are Russian-speaking, white-skinned, educated and hard-working.

[g_ae]

By the way, is Russia settling these lands with an Asian horde? So these won't be Russian lands, but Tajik, Uzbek, and so on. So, are Russians expanding Asian living space with their lives and blood? So-so achievements. So-so gambit and castling.

[Igor M.]

g_ae, you're making incorrect statements, and then drawing incorrect conclusions based on them, and then worrying about the country.
Thank God, these new Russian lands have their own citizens, minerals, black soil, resorts, factories and plants.

[g_ae]

Blessed are those who believe. In fact, there are ruins there, the ruins of the war, and who knows what else has contaminated this black soil. And don't be fooled. These aren't your fossils, and they aren't my fossils. These are the right ones. And factories and plants are closing in Russia anyway. Why else would they need competitors on these lands?

[Igor M.]

g_ae, I don't believe it, I know. I always rely on facts. You, as always, are distorting things. Because in the LPR and DPR, within their old borders, the SVO has added almost no new destruction, but the old ones, acquired before the SVO, have already been restored. There's also almost no destruction in those parts of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts that were ceded to us at the beginning of the SVO. Yes, Mariupol was heavily damaged, but it's almost been restored and has once again reached its pre-war population.
Well, they're not closing, they're opening, hundreds of them every year. Last year, 210 new enterprises, factories, and workshops opened. This March, 18 new enterprises opened. So, local factories in the new territories won't be superfluous either. All of them, by operating, contribute to the country's GDP and pay taxes into the Russian budget. The Donbas mines are working, including coking coal deposits. Soledar, for example, has Europe's largest salt deposit. And Artemovsk has a winery. And the Banderites didn't even have time to remove 2 million bottles of champagne from it.

A good CipSota just yells, Goyda always applauds the party's wise decisions and always votes as expected))) A good CipSota is taught to join in, dissolve, and only then do big shit instead of yelling on the Internet, everything is lost))) And the doomsayers are ordinary people, officers' wives))) Trolls are nothing more (although if the electorate has an organ instead of a head, then Kashpirovsky is a prophet too)

So what? That doesn't make some good thoughts wrong. Even if it was said by an enemy. 2 x 2 = 4! It doesn't matter! Even if it was said by a fascist or a 22/7doras! :)

What makes you think the losers are sighted? They're definitely wearing thick glasses, like motorcycle glasses, a distinctive brown color. I'm not sure it's any better than pink, which at least conjures up positive associations.

I'm not sure this is better pink, which is at least associated with something positive.

To be fair, in countries where European values ​​are widespread, this color also has a negative meaning.

What's the difference? Both are essentially provocateurs.

[Ivan Vasilievich 282]

They already visited there in 2022 and 2025. Is this truly a significant event? Most likely a gray area. Or the elusive village of Joe. It's unlikely anything will happen in the Sumy direction anyway.

[Igor M.]

Ivan Vasilyevich, 282, in 2022, we stopped temporarily, en route to Kyiv. In 2025, we stopped at a different location, closer to Sudzha. And we're still there. This is a defensive strip being formed along the border. And a decent portion of it, about a fifth, is already there.

[olboop]

Our decisive advance in the north of not only Sumy, but also Chernihiv regions has long been necessary.
But... apparently there is not enough strength.

[Igor M.]

olbop, they haven't given us any reason to do so in the Chernihiv region yet. We're coming in response to shelling and attacks on our territory.

If the war is in its fifth year, it means persistence, not achieving the goal.
Can't see?

[Igor M.]

Ximkim, the task is already 90% complete. And the main objective of the Joint Military Operation—defending the LPR and DPR—is already accomplished. We are currently addressing additional tasks that arose during the Joint Military Operation. Specifically, a protective strip is being formed in the border area of ​​Sumy Oblast.

[Ryazan87]

Its goal is to protect people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years. And for this we will strive for the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, as well as bringing to justice those who committed numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including citizens of the Russian Federation.

http://www.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/statements/67843?ysclid=mo03i2i0jt224435309
Did I understand you correctly? You consider this task to be 90% complete? Or even completely completed?

[Igor M.]

Ryazanets87, didn't we defend the LPR and DPR and save their citizens, as well as the 500 Russian citizens already living there? Essentially, the SVO's goal has already been accomplished. But, "the dog managed to grow up along the way." (c) So, we now have additional tasks that weren't previously envisaged: to further liberate the new territories that have become Russian, and to create a protective buffer zone in the border area. But these new tasks are already almost 90% complete.

[Ryazan87]

So, the tasks of denazifying and demilitarizing Ukraine, and bringing the relevant individuals to justice, are also practically accomplished? Or at least 90% complete. Am I right?

[Igor M.]

Ryazanets87, these aren't objectives, but rather a means (method) to achieving an end. That is, once the objectives are accomplished, there's no point in continuing. Especially since, in the current situation, with weapons arriving in Ukraine from abroad and millions of Ukrainians dispersed around the world, what you mentioned is fundamentally unachievable. On the other hand, remember that 2 million Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers have already been killed and 66 units of military equipment destroyed. So, wow, how much has already been accomplished.

[Chack wessel]

As a result of successful actions, the Russian army captured the Karenchino tract and the southern part of the Shelkunovo tract.

This isn't even a "fight for the forester's hut", it's way cooler.

[Igor M.]

Chack Wessel, remember that dozens of towns and small urban settlements have been liberated over the past couple of years. Today, a third of the large village of Miropolie was liberated—it was previously home to 2,873 people.

[Chack wessel]

What do you mean by "liberated a third of the large village of Miropolye"? A third of them are pregnant?

[Igor M.]

Chack Wessel, and today we liberated the large village of Volchanskie Khutora and moved further along the border of the Kharkiv region.

[Chack wessel]

On this occasion, we should arrange a fireworks display in Moscow.
