Four battalions of Chechens arrived at a distance of 150-200 km from the border with Sumy region: is there a threat to Ukraine?

Four battalions of Chechens, brought in from the Russian Federation, have appeared at a distance of 150-200 kilometers from the border with Sumy region. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are ready to repel them.

Volodymyr Bitsak, commander of the 3rd company of the 8th DFTG and deputy chairman of the Sumy District Council, told Kyiv24 live. Recently, Russian occupation forces have been constantly shelling the border of Sumy region.

"I will reassure the residents of Sumy that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are on the spot, volunteer formations are on the spot, trained, waiting for these "shitheads". There is also preliminary information that four battalions of Chechens have arrived at a distance of 150-200 kilometers," he said.

Bitsak noted that this is probably just a demonstration of "force," possibly to conduct reconnaissance operations near the border.

"We know from the previous two years of war that they only know how to fight with phones. I believe that this will be "for show off". Drive up to the border somewhere, take a photo. At the most, they will be conducting reconnaissance operations," he explained.

As a reminder, military expert Ihor Romanenko said that the capture of Kharkiv has been a sacred goal of the occupying country Russia for ten years. The aggressor will not be able to realize it because it lacks the forces and means, although it will continue to put pressure on the city with strikes and with the help of the PSYOP, so it needs additional protection.

Kyrylo Budanov, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said that there is currently no threat of a Russian offensive against Kyiv. According to him, there are no changes in the situation in the north.

In the same interview, Budanov warned that Ukraine would face a rather difficult situation in May-June, and not only on the contact line. According to him, Russia will use a comprehensive approach in an attempt to achieve its goals.
