The Sumy region has seen a significant increase in Russian attacks, while on the other side of the border, Ukraine’s military has stepped up its assault on Russia.

“Evacuation! Of civilians from the village of Luhivka.” Out of breath, police officer Dmytro Piddubnyi is recording the scene on his phone and providing a commentary. But he’s working, too, and the old lady in front is not moving fast enough. “Grandma, come on! Come on, come on, come on, dear, come on!” There are two booms in the distance, most likely an artillery piece firing. Luhivka, in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region, lies just a few miles from the border with Russia.

According to Sumy’s regional governor, Volodymyr Artiukh, up to 90% of Popivka’s buildings have been destroyed, making it among the worst-hit settlements along the border. The frequency of attacks since the start of the year is two to three times higher than it was in 2023, Artiukh says, and the types of munitions being used are more destructive.
