Ukraine redeploys assault regiments to Sumy front

In response to a significantly intensified Russian cross-border assault, Ukraine has redeployed elements of the 425th Assault Regiment "Skala" to the Krasnopillya direction in Sumy Oblast. These forces are now counterattacking in and around the village of Taratutyne, which is in a contested 'grey-zone,' aiming to prevent its capture and stop Russian consolidation on the northern flank. Smaller-scale counterattacks are also being conducted by the 253rd Assault Regiment "Arey" towards forests south of Pokrovka. The defense of this sector is primarily held by several Ukrainian Territorial Defense Brigades, including the 105th, 116th, 119th, and 122nd.
