Ukraine orders evacuation of 11 villages on Russian border as Kyiv braces for Sumy offensive

Ukrainian authorities have ordered the mandatory evacuation of 11 villages in the Sumy region bordering Russia, with President Volodymyr Zelensky warning of a major troop build-up on the other side of the border. Sumy served as the launching pad for Kyiv’s ill-fated incursion into Russia’s Kursk region last year.
