Background:

• Mykhailo Drapatyi, Commander of the Joint Forces of Ukraine, has told Ukrainska Pravda that the Russians are aiming to establish a 20-km "buffer zone" along the border areas of Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts, which is why they are capturing border villages.
• DeepState, a Ukrainian group of military analysts, said on 9 March that Russian troops have intensified their activity near the Ukrainian state border in Sumy Oblast, attempting to expand their zone of control in border villages.
