“The enemy is once again striking Sumy region. Russian terrorists cynically use their weapons against civilians, having lost everything human a long time ago. The enemy once again confirmed its criminal intentions - to eliminate our people. Rashism will not be able to remain unpunished evil. There will be punishment! Be sure to answer. For every lost life of Ukrainians," said Volodymyr Artiukh, the head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration.

As reported by Ukrinform, as of 11:00 on June 18, Russian troops shelled seven border settlements of Chernihiv and Sumy regions with mortars and artillery, launching a total of 63 strikes.
