The threat of offensive: Zelensky abolished the measures in Germany not because of the actions of the Russian Federation - the Embassy

To spread: the offensive of the Russian Federation to Sumy is not the reason for the urgent return to Ukraine President Vladimir Zelensky. At the same time, Zelensky really had an event planned for May 29, but canceled it, explained diplomats. The Embassy of Ukraine in Germany wrote about the offensive of the Russian Federation and the actions of the Zelensky Embassy of Ukraine in Germany on the social network X (Twitter).

The post of the embassy appeared on the network at 0:30 on May 29 (by Kiev, or at 23:30 by Berlin). Diplomats said Zelensky really canceled the participation in the Aachen ceremony, but the reasons for his return are not possible the threat of the Russian Federation for Sumy. What is the reason for the urgent return in Ukraine is not indicated.

"The report that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky was announced in the award ceremony in Aachen allegedly canceled because of the inevitable offensive of Russian troops did not correspond to the truth," the post reads. Karl the Great International Prize is an event that celebrates the contribution of laureates to Europe. The award is awarded annually to the cities of Aachen in Germany. The amount of the award is 5 thousand euros.

In 2023, Volodymyr Zelenskyy received the prize, and in 2025 it was awarded to the President of the European Commission Ursula von Der Lyen. The Presidential page of Ukraine does not explain the reason for the reduction of the visit to Germany. There is also no traditional appeal on the pages on social networks, which could appear on the evening of May 28. The last post on Telegram is 21:12.

The last report of the Armed Forces General Staff appeared at 22:00 on May 28 and told about 32 storms of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Kursk region (there was no traditional morning report as of 10 hours). It should be noted that in mid -April, BBC interlocutors in the Armed Forces General Staff told about the plans of the Russian Federation on Sumy. According to the Ukrainian command, Russian troops will move forward and try to surround or surround the regional center.

The purpose of the enemy is to create a buffer zone in Kharkiv and Sumy regions, and in order to prevent this, the forces are thrown into the threatening areas, according to the BBC article. In May, a representative of the Defense Forces Unit "Steel Border" Ivan Shevtsov reported on the enemy's actions. According to him, the Russians try to step in small groups and activated artillery and air strikes in border settlements.

Shevtsov confirmed that the Susky direction is "priority" for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, the Russian command declared the occupation of the village of Loknya, and the militarys - about fixing in the village of Yunnakivka, Sumy region. The military administration first denied information, but then acknowledged that the enemy really occupied Zhuravka, New, Veselivka and Basivka.
