Ukraine war briefing: Kyiv's forces battle Russian push to break through in Sumy region
"The Ukrainian army was battling an attempted Russian breakthrough in the Sumy region, it said on Sunday, after reports that Moscow forcibly moved 50 people from a border village there. That marks a renewed Russian advance in the part of the region largely spared from intense ground fighting since Ukraine regained land there in a 2022 counteroffensive. Fighting is currently ongoing in the village of Grabovske, Ukraine's joint taskforce said, adding the troops were making efforts to drive the occupiers back into Russian territory."
"Witkoff posted: Our shared priority is to stop the killing, ensure guaranteed security and create conditions for Ukraine's recovery, stability and long-term prosperity. Peace must be not only a cessation of hostilities, but also a dignified foundation for a stable future."
"US and Ukrainian envoys issued a joint statement on Sunday saying talks in Miami had been productive and constructive but did not announce any apparent breakthrough in efforts to end the Russian invasion."
Ukrainian forces engaged an attempted Russian breakthrough in the Sumy region, with fighting ongoing in Grabovske as troops sought to push occupiers back into Russian territory. Ukrainian officials reported that around 50 people from Grabovske were forcibly moved to Russia and refuted reports of Russian presence in the nearby Ryasne village. The Russian military said it captured the nearby village of Vysoke. Separately, US and Ukrainian envoys described Miami meetings as productive and constructive but announced no breakthrough in efforts to end the invasion. The Kremlin denied proposals for three-way talks involving Ukraine, Russia and the United States.
