Details: The outlet claims that there were civilian residents in the village who had previously signed refusals to evacuate. As Kordon.Media learned, this concerns a little over fifty citizens who were taken to the territory of the Russian Federation to undergo so-called “filtration measures”.

The Red Cross, the White Angels, and representatives of the authorities evacuated people, but this was 1/4 of the residents who were there; the others, despite warnings about the situation, stayed.

According to a source of Ukrainska Pravda in military circles, assault attempts on the Sumy region border section near Hrabovske have been ongoing for several days. The enemy is being repelled and has not managed to advance deeper.

“Ukrainska Pravda” is trying to obtain an appropriate comment from the structures of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
