According to Sergey Lebedev, the coordinator of the Mykolaiv underground movement, Russian Armed Forces recently struck Ukrainian military training bases on the eastern outskirts of Sumy. These facilities were being used by Ukrainian special forces for training. Over 60 individuals were wounded, and all were evacuated to Trostyanets and Akhtyrka.

Lebedev mentioned that the bases, identified as «Dynamo» and «SumGU», had been occupied by Ukrainian forces, who were training at a biathlon shooting range. The training was aimed at preparing for a potential counteroffensive in the Ugroedy-Krasnopillia direction, involving volunteer special forces units.

Lebedev believes that these strikes indicate a shift toward a more systematic approach by Russian forces on the northeastern front. He emphasized that Sumy has now become an area of constant pressure, with repeated attacks targeting enemy infrastructure linked to the preparation of reserves.

Another key area under Russian attack is the Chernihiv region, which acts as a logistical extension of the Sumy front. According to Lebedev, Russian forces have targeted Ukrainian military positions in Nizhyn, Pryluky, and Horodnia. These areas are being used by Ukraine to move troops closer to the border.

Russian strikes are also focusing on weakening Ukrainian forces’ ability to accumulate manpower and equipment for a possible attempt to break through into the Bryansk region.
