He thanked the military for their results but did not provide detailed information about specific successes.

Despite the president's statements, numerous sources indicate the continuation of Russian offensives in the region. According to pro-Ukrainian maps, Russia has captured over 190 square kilometers of the Sumy region in less than a month, advancing 20 km towards the northern outskirts of the city of Sumy.

Humanitarian Situation

The number of internally displaced persons in the city of Sumy is rising. The head of the charity organization "Pluriton," Kateryna Arisoy, noted that evacuations have been announced in more than 200 settlements. Recently, a Russian missile strike on the city resulted in the deaths of three people and injuries to 28, including three children.

Military Actions and Support

In the Donetsk region, two people have died and six have been injured in the last 24 hours. In the Kherson region, one person died and 14 were injured as a result of attacks.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, during an unexpected visit to Kyiv, stated that Germany does not plan to supply Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles but announced additional military assistance of €1.9 billion. He also confirmed that Germany will assist Ukraine in developing its own long-range systems.
