In Sumy region, the occupiers are advancing. No matter what Zelensky says, as if the Armed Forces of Ukraine have pushed back the enemy somewhere, in reality the enemy has advanced in the village of Yablunivka and further west to Lokni in recent days. Well, Zelensky is being misinformed, as we just learned. Ukraine is losing territory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And here again the question arises \u2013 how was the Sumy region prepared for defense? Were there equipped positions from which the Armed Forces of Ukraine could repel enemy invasions? Were there dugouts, concrete firing points, and communication corridors equipped there, were the roads and crossings prepared for blocking?<\/p>\n

The DeepState OSINT project has just answered categorically \u2013 no. The Sumy region was not prepared for defense. DeepState research shows that in some places there are symbolic structures in the form of trenches and underground points, sometimes covered with nets from FPV drones. But \u2013 without other engineering barriers necessary in such conditions.<\/p>\n

Simply put, Ukrainian soldiers were asked to defend themselves as they did during World War II \u2013 in trenches.<\/p>\n\t\t
