What happened in the village of Hrabovske in the Sumy Region
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, last Saturday, December 20, the russians crossed the border in the Sumy Region and captured more than 50 residents of the village of Hrabovske. They were taken to the territory of the russian federation.
The Ukrainian Defense Forces stated that they do not consider the incident in Hrabovske a breakthrough by the russian army. The military considers it a provocation that may have a political or informational overtone.
