Advancing in the north of the Sumy Region, the russians occupied the village of Yablunivka of the Yunakivska community of the Sumy district.
This was reported by the Ukrainian information resource DeepState, which recently updated its interactive maps.
In addition, observers recorded the success of the invaders near Yunakivka itself.

The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) also confirmed the advance of the russians in the Sumy Region in its next report.
Referring to geolocation videos published on July 18, they say that russian troops recently advanced west of the village of Varachyne of the same Yunakivska community.
ISW also cites claims by russian military bloggers, not confirmed by geolocation footage, that the russians have advanced northeast of the village of Kindrativka.
