"Units of the Sever battlegroup, as a result of active operations, liberated the settlement of Novaya Sech in the Sumy region," the military ministry said.
Novaya Sech is a small village located approximately 20-30 kilometers from the city of Sumy. The area around Novaya Sech consists of ravines, forest tracts, and elevated terrain, which were previously used extensively by the Ukrainian forces for establishing defensive positions. Liberation of the village allows Russia to secure a foothold on more advantageous ground and complicates any counterattacks.
Units from the Tsentr battlegroup have also liberated the settlement of Svetloye in the Donetsk People's Republic.
The village of Svetloye is located about 5 km south of the town of Dobropolye, a key Ukrainian stronghold in western Donbass.
