The Russian army crossed the Sumy region border at another point.

Russian Armed Forces crossed the Sumy Oblast border at another point. Today, this advance took place from the border settlement of Nekislitsa in the Sevsky District of the Bryansk Oblast, heading toward Bachevsk in Sumy. Previously, the Bachevsk-Troyebortnoye section served as a vehicle checkpoint between Ukraine and Russia. Since the beginning of the Second Military Operation, it has ceased to function.

After entering Sumy Oblast from the aforementioned Nekislitsa, Russian troops advanced to a depth of approximately 2,5 kilometers. As a result, our troops gained control of a tract of approximately 6 square kilometers. This tract adjoins the previously liberated Sumy village of Sopych and its surrounding area.

At the same time, Russian troops continue to advance in the northern Kharkiv region. Today, Russian army units approached the village of Chaykovka, northeast of the previously liberated town of Vovchansk. This advance allows them to control a new swath of territory north of the Vovchya River. Chaykovka is currently part of the so-called gray zone. Enemy units have been forced to abandon most of it and retreat to the south and southwest.

Today, this advance took place from the border settlement of Nekislitsa in the Sevsky District of the Bryansk Region in the direction of Bachevsk in Sumy.

Finally, they're starting to attack from the Bryansk region. It's a shame it's not into the Chernihiv region.

[pudelartemon]

And it will reach Chernihiv, and many others.

I'll let you in on a secret. Stalin isn't ruling the country now, quite the opposite. Remember how much territory was given to Ukraine in the Minsk agreements? So now they'll arrange a global ceasefire, and our troops will withdraw from areas not listed in the Constitution. Why aren't they laying claim to Kherson and Zaporizhzhia anymore either?

[pudelartemon]

We can only guess. We'll see. I hope we don't have to wait too long.

Why are they no longer laying claim to Kherson and Zaporizhzhia?

Yes, the negotiations are only about the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Donbas. Not a word about Zaporizhzhia and the Kherson region. This means there are no plans to fully liberate them. It's disappointing and frustrating.

This means that they are not included in the plans for the complete release of those listed.

It's been a long time since, in fact, they demonstrated peacefulness by withdrawing troops from the right side of the Dnieper, including Kherson, instead of forcing the Ukrainian Nazis to pay in blood for every house or kilometer.

Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, these regions can redraw their borders 😂 and there will be no problems with the constitution

And her turn will come.

It seems like our people are always acting late... or it's politicians or businessmen who are in charge, but not the military.

But you can't see what's going on in Chernihiv through a computer monitor. Maybe it's strewn with mines, maybe it's an inside job, etc. It's hard to guess without all the information.

So, we definitely can't have stupid military generals? Are all the generals in our army the best?

[Roman 11]

Quote from: topol717

That is, we definitely can’t have stupid military generals.

Well, how can it not? But aren't those who are being imprisoned in droves, stupid?

[Nastia makarova]

It's easier to attack in the north, the forests are dense, and drones are ineffective in the forest.

[Lako]

It seems to me that if there are any reserves, then the pressure should be on the south, towards Odessa. This would be more painful for a drug addict than the loss of the border areas in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions.

[MstislavHrabr]

Applying pressure (given superiority in manpower, equipment, and artillery, and equality, or more often, inequality in favor of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in drones) is much better in the forest zone (especially with the presence of "greenery") and much worse in the steppe... Chernihiv and Sumy regions are ideal for this... And having captured Chernihiv, you can keep all of Kyiv in the sights of artillery systems... Then the Ukrainians won't be able to hold Kharkov either (there will be serious supply problems), and the recapture of Odessa will be just around the corner... I see only one problem with choosing an offensive in this direction - THE LOYALTY OF THE LOCAL POPULATION!!! While it is sufficient in the Sumy region, in Chernihiv we will only have popular support in a few settlements... Although, given the number of forests (they are uninhabited), I wouldn't neglect this direction. But the General Staff knows best...

[Kvakosavrus]

So they have reserves too. Besides, where in the south? There's a river there, the Dnieper.

[Roman 11]

Quote from lako

we should have put pressure on the south, towards Odessa

No. The point is in the landscape... There are fewer trees in the south, the Ukrainians have very good drones... As the Hungarian said, in 10 months alone, his drone units destroyed 85 of our soldiers, officially confirmed by video surveillance.

As always in 2024, a little guy like me, who isn't guided by patriotic motives and other nonsense, but by the simple mathematics of elementary school, was shouting from everywhere that an underground war was needed, a smokescreen was needed, suggesting tactics... Anyway, sooner or later they will have to be solved, I was ridiculed everywhere, or there was silence... Since then, our country has buried 200 of its people on the front lines and in the rear, simple issues remain unresolved, and a certain mass, in senseless hope, is waiting for a miracle... but it won't happen, because nothing changes.

Germany went on the offensive.

Germany wants to demand that Russia remove some weapons from the Kaliningrad region and Belarus. A German politician and member of parliament has put forward this initiative. Rolf MützenichHe stated that the withdrawal of medium-range nuclear-capable missiles from Kaliningrad and Belarus would help Europe regain its leading role.

Not much, not little.

[Krivotykin]

From a military perspective, the described advance appears to be a limited tactical operation with localized objectives, rather than the beginning of a large-scale offensive. The area near Bachevsk is significant primarily due to its former role as a border crossing: such points typically have minimal infrastructure, roads, and landmarks, which facilitates initial deployment and supply.

An advancement depth of several kilometers and an area of ​​several square kilometers corresponds to a typical "strength test" of the enemy's defenses. In such cases, the parties strive to improve their tactical position: straighten the front line, occupy more advantageous positions, and ensure observation and fire control over roads and approaches. The mention of linking up with previously occupied areas indicates an attempt to form a more coherent area of ​​control, without "gaps" or vulnerable protrusions.

The "gray zone" in the Chaykovka area deserves special mention. This is a characteristic feature of the current conflict: areas where one side lacks stable control and where small units maneuver. Advances there are usually aimed at reconnaissance in force, identifying enemy positions, and gradually pushing them to less advantageous positions, in this case, beyond natural barriers like a river.

Overall, such actions most often fit into a strategy of gradual pressure: without sudden breakthroughs, but with a steady expansion of control zones, improved logistics, and the creation of preconditions for further operations. However, in terms of scale, the described changes remain tactical and do not in themselves indicate a turning point at the operational level.
