More than 70 soldiers died and civilians too,” he said.
Zhyvytskyi assures that throughout the night the Sumy region has been attacked by the Russian Army, which has also had to regret casualties. “Sumy is under siege, but we are repelling enemy checkpoints, some groups are breaking through. Over a dozen enemy team units have been destroyed today“Insisted the military chief, who has assured that citizens are using Molotov cocktails.
