Ukrainian border guards have recorded an increase in the activity of Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups (DRG) in Sumy region. Andriy Demchenko, a representative of the State Border Guard Service, said this during a telethon.

“The activity of enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups can be traced in Sumy region. In Chernihiv region, this is not recorded, but Sumy region is the area where the enemy is constantly trying to conduct sabotage activities. It cannot be said that every day Russian subversive reconnaissance groups try to enter our territory, but their activity is quite high,” said Demchenko.

According to him, the main goal of the subversive reconnaissance group is to find the locations of Ukrainian units, find out how the defense is built, in order to strike at powerful weapons there in the future.

“The DRG may also be tasked with striking our positions with their own forces, but the guys are well aware of this threat. All necessary actions are being taken to detect enemy subversive reconnaissance groups in advance,” said the SBGS representative.
