Russian forces have intensified their offensive in eastern Ukraine, particularly targeting the Donetsk region and claiming advances into the Dnipropetrovsk region, which Ukrainian officials contest. Ukrainian President Zelensky criticized the Russian offensive as "not that successful" and emphasized Russia's struggles with its economy. The Sumy region is experiencing heightened attacks, with Russian troops nearing 12 miles from its capital. Despite the situation being described as difficult, there is no widespread fear among residents, reflecting a tense but resilient local atmosphere.
The situation is difficult but not critical. There isn't widespread fear, but there is anxiety, especially among the local population in Sumy region.
Russia's claims of advances in the Dnipropetrovsk region are an attempt to score propaganda points and convince Western officials that it is winning the war.
