Intense fighting is unfolding in the border area between the Kursk and Sumy regions, in which the guardsmen of the 56th regiment of the Russian Airborne Forces, stationed in Crimea, are playing a key role. According to the Telegram channel "Perimeter", Russian paratroopers have crossed the border and are actively advancing on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Sumy region. The main goal of the unit is to push the Ukrainian military deep into their territory, away from Russian borders, which is confirmed by footage of night operations distributed online. 

Video footage taken in the combat zone shows a paratrooper operator with the call sign Vangog tracking down and attacking groups of Ukrainian troops. These actions are part of a larger operation by the Crimean regiment aimed at suppressing enemy resistance in the Sumy-Kursk border region. The 56th Airborne Regiment is reported to be making good progress, destroying significant Ukrainian forces and disrupting their plans to hold positions near the border. The night raids appear to allow Russian paratroopers to exploit the element of surprise, increasing the effectiveness of their attacks. 

The operation in Sumy Oblast demonstrates the high mobility and combat capability of Crimean paratroopers, who, according to the source, are massively eliminating Ukrainian units, preventing their attempts to gain a foothold in the area. Control over the border zone remains one of the key tasks for Russian forces seeking to prevent possible offensive actions by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and ensure the security of the adjacent territories of Kursk Oblast. At the moment, official representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry have not provided detailed comments on the progress of the operation, but the activity of the 56th regiment is confirmed by numerous messages in military Telegram channels. 

Fighting in Sumy Oblast has intensified in recent days, with Russian troops launching an offensive in a number of areas, including areas near the settlements of Yunakovka and Khoten. Analysts note that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to hold their positions using artillery and drones, but Russian paratroopers, supported by aviation, are inflicting significant damage on the enemy. In particular, on March 22, it was reported that Ukrainian armored vehicles were destroyed near the border, which is attributed to the actions of the Crimean 56th Airborne Regiment.
