Pavlyuk: Enemy is not creating any offensive groups in the Sumy sector

russia is not creating offensive groups to attack Sumy region from the north in the future. Currently, the russians are striking at civilians to frighten people as much as possible, to create maximum panic among the local population. This was stated by the commander of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Oleksandr Pavlyuk, during a telethon on Friday, UNN reports.

Details

russia continues to terrorize the local population. This is clearly demonstrated by the actions in Sumy region, where artillery and air strikes have increased. The enemy does not create any offensive groups in this area, but strikes are carried out only against civilians in order to frighten people as much as possible, to create panic among the local population. It's just plain terror. They don't know how to do anything else

He noted that, unfortunately, Ukraine currently does not have air superiority, but as soon as it does, Ukraine will do everything to prevent russian aircraft from approaching the borders.

Addendum 

The Center for Countering Disinformation notesthat the information about the readiness of russians to attack Sumy region from the north, voiced by some experts on some Ukrainian TV channels, is not true.

russia currently has no resources for offensive actions in this area, and such information from experts who do not have access to any intelligence information completely coincides with the russian narratives of "fear propaganda" that they spread in our information space against the background of intensified shelling of the Sumy region. Such unverified information on our TV channels only helps the russians to spread panic

Recall

There is information that russia is creating a group of more than 100,000 people, and although not necessarily for an offensive, it is likely that by early summer they may have some forces to conduct offensive operations on one of the directions.
