Offensive Cancelled! Massive Build-up Struck with HIMARS!

The Sumy axis has emerged as a critical flashpoint in Ukraine’s efforts to preempt a looming Russian offensive. With a massive Russian troop buildup underway across the border in Kursk, Ukraine faces the challenge of countering a potential large-scale offensive before it begins. But rather than waiting passively, Ukrainian forces are taking the initiative — using deception, surveillance, and precision strikes to shape the battlefield on their own terms. The evolving contest in this sector is not only a test of tactics, but also of foresight, adaptability, and strategic patience. What unfolds in Sumy may prove decisive in determining the next phase of the war.
