Alarming signs: 50,000 Russian soldiers on Ukraine's border!

Sumy, Ukraine - President Wolodymyr Selenskyj has published alarming reports on the military activities of Russia on the Ukrainian border. In a press conference that took place to Berlin during his trip, Selenskyj informed that around 50,000 Russian soldiers were consulted in the Sumy region to prepare a possible advance. The Ukrainian army mobilizes its forces to ward off such an attack, also through targeted military actions in the neighboring Russian area, such as dewezet.de berichtet.

Selenskyj expresses the assumption that Russia's push aims at Sumy to establish a buffer zone on Ukrainian territory. This assessment is also supported by Deutschlandfunk , which indicates the intensive military preparations of the Kremlin. The Ukrainian President pointed out that the Russian troops are missing at other front stations, as is the case with Pokrowsk in Donbass, which indicates a concentration of forces in the region.

Putin's plans and international reactions

The geopolitical tensions increase because President Vladimir Putin recently set the creation of a buffer zone along the Ukrainian border. However, details remained unclear. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha criticized this announcement as a clear rejection of the peace talks. "Putin can only create a buffer zone in its own territory," said Horhij Tychyj, spokesman for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Kremlin also did not raise any official claims on Sumy, but Putin made joking comments on a possible line-up during a meeting with officials from the region of Kursk, such as Situation on the border illustrates the fragile situation and the potential for an escalation in the region.
