Zelensky Denounces Russian Intentions in Sumy as "Completely Insane"
President Volodymyr Zelensky has characterized the Russian intentions in the contested region of Sumy as "completely insane." Ukrainian forces have been fighting to hold off Russian advances in the region for over a year. The strategic city of Sumy has not been under Russian occupation since the initial phase of the war, but Russia aims to establish a buffer zone in the region to prevent further Ukrainian advances towards the Russian border. According to Russian President Putin, the capture of the regional capital, Sumy, is still a possibility.
