Andrii Demchenko, a spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service, announced this during a briefing at Ukrinform.
“Overall, the activity of enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups remains low, as before; however, the enemy has not completely abandoned the use of such groups, and the threat posed by saboteurs persists. Recently, it has been noted that periodic attempts by enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups have been observed within the Sumy region,” the spokesperson said.

As reported by Ukrinform, Russia currently does not have a strike force near Ukraine’s northern border, but a potential threat from that direction remains.
