President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about working with partners to provide Kharkiv, Donetsk, Sumy and other regions with more basic defence - air defence systems and long-range weapons.
Operators from the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed two Russian Buk anti-aircraft missile systems in the Sumy sector.
The enemy continues to "propagate fear" among the residents of the Sumy region: it is spreading information about the preparation of its offensive in the Sumy region to allegedly force the Armed Forces to withdraw reserves from Kupiansk.
Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko has visited the border communities of the Sumy region and held a number of operational meetings there regarding enemy shelling.
