There are a lot of fakes spreading about the situation in the Sumy Region. This was announced by the head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration Dmytro Zhyvytskyi.

According to him, the military remains in the city and no one surrenders to the enemy. «Don't be fooled! Sumy and other district centers of the region are under our control! The authorities are here», he said. Zhyvytskyi also denied fake news about the poor provision of territorial defense, calls for the surrender of regional cities, and negotiations with the enemy. He added that the clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) misinformed people in the region and said that the Sumy region had surrendered to the enemy.
