Russian Advances Toward Sumy Continue – WSJ
- Russian forces advanced to within 12 kilometers of Sumy, a key northeastern Ukrainian city, intensifying attacks around early 2025.
- This buildup followed Moscow’s shift of focus across the border after Ukrainian withdrawals from Russia's Kursk region and the assembly of about 50,000 troops near Sumy.
- Although fighting remains intense with more than 50 clashes daily, Russian advances around Sumy have slowed considerably as Ukrainian forces, including elite units, have pushed back and reclaimed some territory.
- Ukrainian platoon commander Mark called the battle the harshest he had faced, revealing that his unit eliminated five Russian troops and had only brief rest periods, typically no longer than five minutes, between assaults.
- The ongoing conflict suggests a high-intensity stalemate with Russia leveraging manpower advantage but suffering daily losses of 300 to 400 troops, limiting prospects for a breakthrough near Sumy.
