JAKARTA - In the midst of global attention regarding the escalation of the Middle East, Ukraine and Russia are still at war. Most recently, Ukrainian forces stopped Russia in the border area of Sumy's northern region this week.
"Russian troops' progress in the border areas of the Sumy region has been stopped, and the fighting line has stabilized," Ukrainian Military Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi said in a statement about his visit to the front line.
Russia in April claimed to expel Ukrainian troops from Russia's western region in Kursk.
President Vladimir Putin has ordered his troops to follow up by forming a "barrier zone" in the adjacent Sumy region.

After Russia advanced there in early June, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his troops managed to fend off the attack and retake Andriivka village.
Syrskyi said additional forts and defense measures, including creating an anti-aircraft corridor, must be carried out immediately in the area.
"The main task is to strengthen the fort and build a engineering system and barrier fort," he said.
