Strict restrictions on movement along the border introduced in Sumy region.

Restrictions in the border zone of Sumy region

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the introduction of movement restrictions in the border zone of Sumy region from August 13, 2024. These measures have been introduced due to intensified combat actions and the activation of enemy sabotage groups.

Within the 20-kilometer border zone, access to this territory is granted only to persons with passports marked with a residence registration in this zone. For additional information, you can contact the dispatch point of the Sumy zonal department of the Military Law Enforcement Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at +380960322339.

Protection of Ukrainian citizens

The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Georgiy Tikhiy, commented on the military operation in the Kursk region of Russia. According to him, this operation is aimed at protecting Ukrainian citizens from constant shelling. During the summer of 2024, more than 2000 strikes of various types of weapons were inflicted on Sumy region from the Kursk region.

"Ukraine is not interested in taking over the territory of the Kursk region. But we want to protect the lives of our people," the diplomat emphasized.

At the same Time, he emphasized the strategic importance of this operation for the entire front, as it complicates Russian military logistics and does not allow additional units to be transferred to other directions.
