It is noted that in their conclusions, analysts are based on geolocation, published on June 1. Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Russia (MO) and other Russian sources stated on June 1 that Russian troops seized Oleksiivka (north of Sumy), but one Russian military blogger reported that the statements were premature. Russian sources also stated that the Russian troops had advanced to the outskirts of Miropillya (northeast of Sumy) and near Zazil (west of Miropillya).
Russian sources stated on June 1 that Russian troops in the Sumy region almost reached the limits of reaching the artillery of the city of Sumy. "ISW saw geolocation evidence that makes it possible to estimate that Russian troops are about 35 kilometers from the city of Sumy at their nearest point," the report reads.
On May 31 and June 1, Russian troops struck the north of Sumy in the Kindrativka, Oleksiyivka and Konstantinovka area, as well as northeast of Sumy city in the Yunakivka and Alexandria area and in the direction of Yablunovka. The General Staff of the Armed Forces noted that Russian troops attacked a number of settlements in the Sumy direction.
