The Most Difficult is in Trostyanets and Okhtyrka: What is the Current Situation in Sumy Region

In the Sumy region, the most difficult situation is in Trostyanets, which was captured by the occupiers, and Okhtyrka. There, as in Mariupol, people need a humanitarian corridor. Nevertheless, Sumy region does not surrender to the enemy.

This was discussed on the air of the Uarazom telethon.

Last night the region was hit by enemy air strikes. The roar of planes and then powerful explosions shook the ground in the regional center city several times. The enemy aimed for the objects of communal infrastructure. The boiler house, which heats a large part of Sumy, was damaged.

Soldiers killed in the bombing of a military unit began to be buried in Okhtyrka. Enemy strikes from the air do not stop. Okhtyrka Mayor Pavlo Kuzmenko said that the city is trying to restore electricity supply on all streets. There is already electricity supply in the city center.

"We don't have to wait for the heat, because the thermal power plant was bombed. Groups have been set up in the city to help the population," Kuzmenko said.

In Trostyanets, the occupiers looted shops, looted local houses, and got drunk. Behind the houses, the invaders are hiding "Grads" and ыelf-propelled artillery units, from which they are striking Okhtyrka. People are afraid to go to the streets so as not to become accidental victims of the occupiers. The city is surrounded and remains on the brink of humanitarian catastrophe.

Lebedyn has been without electricity, water and communication for three days now.

However, the Sumy region's defense forces continue to win trophies in the form of weapons and heavy equipment. Sumy region continues to hold defence.

Earlier it was reported that the Russian military is robbing and shooting at civilian cars trying to leave Sumy. It was also reported that in the Sumy region the occupiers made a "living shield" of peasants to "protect" the S-300 anti-aircraft gun.
