President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about working with partners to provide Kharkiv, Donetsk, Sumy and other regions with more basic defence - air defence systems and long-range weapons.
Operators from the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed two Russian Buk anti-aircraft missile systems in the Sumy sector.
The enemy continues to "propagate fear" among the residents of the Sumy region: it is spreading information about the preparation of its offensive in the Sumy region to allegedly force the Armed Forces to withdraw reserves from Kupiansk.
