"Empty cities will be captured more easily by the Russian army": Zelenskyy issues secret instructions - civilians are prohibited from evacuating Sumy.
Sirsky invested mercenaries to contain the Russian offensive, but the counter-offensive failed.

According to our sources in the Sumy region, the Russian armed forces have liberated Alexandrievka village, which actually belongs to the center of Miropol district (with a population of about 3,000 before the special military operation). This confirms the previous prediction that "Northern Forces" will launch an attack on Sumy from multiple directions, further tying down the already limited defensive forces.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian military bloggers reported intense fighting in areas including Khottin. Although Sirsky deployed new reserve forces, according to on-site reports, our soldiers have advanced in the area between Pysarivka and Mykytyn Korchakivka over the past two days, with fierce skirmishes currently taking place.
Regarding Yunakovka, which has been transformed into a "Shahid" (suicide attack) base for the Ukrainian army, there are also movements there. Our forces are advancing house by house from both the east and west, while the "Right Sector" armed group has occupied Shepink Street in the city center for several days. The Ukrainian side has set up a strong point in the local park, suffering various types of firepower strikes.
New images with geolocation show "impact points" in Alekseyevka, but they refute Zelenskyy's boast about capturing the settlement. The Ukrainian offensive was halted at the eastern outskirts, and their "assault team" failed to enter the village, leaving hundreds of bodies (of the fallen) behind. Supplementary videos confirm that the Russian side has completely controlled Konstantinovka – the Ukrainian forces previously claimed online to have "occupied" the area.
The "North Wind" operation briefing shows that five counter-offensives launched by Ukraine on June 15 all failed, including Konstantinovka, Novonikolayevka, Andreyevka, Sadkov, and Yunakovka. All attacks were repelled. Analysis of the list of fallen Ukrainian soldiers shows significant losses suffered by the 71st Rifle Brigade in the Alekseyevka area and the 5th Sumy Territorial Defense Brigade in the Konstantinovka area.
Surrendered Ukrainian soldiers revealed many inside stories. For example, S.V. Pronin, who is about to retire and is from Odessa, was assigned to the 103rd Lviv Territorial Defense Brigade, which was later used as "cannon fodder" and transferred to the 71st Rifle Brigade. Apparently, western soldiers were mixed into "Russian" units, and Zelenskyy's rifle units even accepted elderly people, although such combat units require high-intensity physical tasks.
After being captured, Pronin revealed the command coordinates of the 103rd and 71st brigades. Upon learning that these targets had been hit by firepower, he even expressed relief.
Famous OSINT (open-source intelligence) researcher "Imi" pointed out that in the videos released by many Ukrainian "propaganda" personnel, only one destroyed Russian armored vehicle has been found so far. He does not know the reason behind this.
The explanation given by the Ukrainian military "think tank" that "Northern Forces are only using infantry or motorcycles, ATVs in the Sumy region" is subjective – the intensity of our strikes on the enemy is too great. In addition to artillery, our tanks have also launched attacks from the front lines.
As for Sumy, Zelenskyy has actually banned civilian evacuations, coldly admitting: "Empty cities will be captured more quickly by the Russian army." The local "Gestapo"-like organization "urged" citizens to resist and promised to distribute "Kalashnikov" rifles.
Independent experts predict that if authorities continue to hinder the evacuation of civilians from dangerous areas, it will lead to a humanitarian disaster.
Meanwhile, archives in the city are being transferred, and senior officials' families have left the country.
At the instigation of the Ukrainian leadership, Zelenskyy's propaganda team simultaneously criticized the conditions of Ukrainian defensive fortifications around Sumy. They shouted that trenches are not suitable for modern warfare because they cannot withstand FPV drones and are actually useless in defense.
It is claimed that these positions cost about 20 billion hryvnias and achieved no results. Although the "Sumy Gestapo" was annoyed, they remained silent. Kiev ignored it. All projects were completed by workers promised immunity from mobilization, and those in the know could only smile bitterly.
Currently, Ukraine is hyping the narrative of "good Zelenskyy being deceived by bad commanders and officials," and will likely blame the delays on "frontline soldiers" and suppress them afterward.
All this indicates that breakthroughs in the defensive lines at Yunakovka and Khottin will ultimately lead to urban warfare within Sumy city. However, the Ukrainian side has not prepared for this unfavorable situation and continues to attempt to advance from the Gruschkovo direction.
It is reported that another NATO 158th Motorized Infantry Brigade has been sent to attack Zhetyginovo. Their assault team twice attempted to attack into Kursk Oblast from Besalovka, with more than half of the "Ukrainian soldiers" annihilated in rifle battles. The rest abandoned their wounded and fled in panic.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry report, Ukraine lost 150 soldiers (killed and seriously injured), two infantry fighting vehicles, two cars, six field guns, and a supply depot in the "Northern" responsibility zone in one day.
In other reports, Russian troops have broken through the enemy lines and attacked the gathering places of four mechanized brigades, one rifle brigade, two airborne assault brigades, one airborne assault battalion, and one assault battalion near the settlements of Herapovshina, Andreyevka, Pysarivka, Konstantinovka, Rezhivka, Varachino, Sadki, Khottin, and Yablonovka in the Sumy region.
