Over 200 explosions were heard along the border regions of Ukraine’s Sumy Oblast as Russia dramatically increases its activity in the area.

A total of 214 explosions were heard in 50 separate attacks on nearly a dozen communities.

Russia launched 800 shelling attacks on Sumy Oblast in a 48-hour period from March 13-14 — as much as the last six months combined, reported Sumy Regional Administration head, Volodymyr Artyukh, on March 14.

The communities affected in the March 18-19 shelling include Mykolaivska, Myropilska, Yunakivska, Khotynska, Bilopilska, Krasnopilska, Velykopysarivska, Konotopska, Shalyhynska, Esman, and Seredyno-Budska.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
