Ukrainian war correspondent Andriy Tsapliyenko received a comment from the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, regarding the information disseminated by the Russians about the capture of Basivka in the Sumy region.
Tsaplienko published the answer on his Telegram channel.
According to Demchenko, the enemy continues a disinformation campaign regarding the capture of settlements in the Sumy region.
"In Basivka, the occupiers are trying to carry out offensive actions with small assault groups, but they are being destroyed by our units of the Defense Forces. Russian groups are currently present in Basivka, but the village is not under their control, hostilities are ongoing," the spokesman for the State Border Service said.
Previously, "Apostrophe" reported that the Russian occupation army has increased the use of strike drones in the Sumy region by 20 times.
