Russian forces shelled four communities in Sumy Oblast on Aug. 7, firing over 80 rounds from various types of weapons, the Sumy Oblast Military Administration reported on Telegram.

According to the post, Russia shelled the Krasnopiliia, Bilopillia, Seredyna-Buda, and Velyka Pysarivka communities.

Russian forces used mortars to target the Krasnopillia and Bilopillia communities, while the Seredyna-Buda community was also attacked with the grenade launchers. A private residence was damaged in the community, according to the administration.

No casualties have been reported following the shelling.

Sumy Oblast is located on Ukraine's northeastern border with Russia. It has been the target of daily Russian shelling and attacks from across the border since parts of the oblast were liberated from Russian troops in early April 2022.

Сeasefire would leave 25% of Ukraine under Russian control, ambassador says.

"Many countries have proposed the idea of a ceasefire, but no one thinks about what it means. Some 25% of Ukrainian territory would remain under Russian control, which means buying time for Russia to strengthen its capabilities and resume its attacks on Ukraine," Ambassador of Ukraine to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar said.
