“The Kursk operation significantly changes the entire operational situation. The enemy is forced to concentrate its forces there, and it is there that the most active shelling is taking place,” he said.

Mr. Mysnyk noted that the military recorded how the Russian Federation's shelling activity in the border area changes in waves - for several days, either increasing 2-3 times or decreasing.

“After the New Year, we recorded an increase in shelling of the border. The enemy used both guided aerial bombs and guided aerial missiles from helicopters, as well as a lot of UAV drops and cannon artillery. Some settlements along the border were heavily shelled by such terrorist attacks. Over the last day we have three wounded civilians in Chernihiv region, today we have information that two civilians were wounded in Sumy region,” said the spokesman.

“Winter conditions are difficult now, and they are generally very difficult for combat operations. But our units are already prepared, so we do not allow [saboteurs] to enter the territory of Ukraine and try to destroy enemy equipment on the approaches to the border. If infantry groups are operating, each person is also identified and we inflict maximum losses on the enemy in their territory in the border area,” assured Mysnyk.
