It is known that the Russians broke into the village of Hrabovske in the Sumy region, about 100 occupiers entered. They are now entrenched in the southern part of the village, and fighting continues with Ukrainian forces. They also took 52 people from the Ukrainian village to Russia. A known way to protect these territories is to create a control zone already on the territory of the Russian Federation, several kilometers deep.
It has been noted that the creation of a control zone on the territory of the Russian Federation is necessary to protect Ukrainian territories adjacent to the border with Russia. This step may help avoid an invasion and protect the civilian population from potential threats.
