This was reported by the spokesman of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, during the telethon "United News", an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"The enemy is shelling three regions on the border with the aggressor country every day. These are Chernihiv, Sumy and Kharkiv regions. Recently, we have seen fewer attacks than before, but in fact, these attacks do not stop, and the enemy uses a variety of weapons to strike. For example, if we compare it to the spring months, the number of attacks per month was somewhere around 3,000. And now, since the beginning of this month, about a thousand attacks have been recorded," Demchenko said.
