People say that Russian soldiers have taken four villages near the border in Ukraine's Sumy region. This area is next to Russia's Kursk region, where Ukrainian soldiers took some land last year. This happened after Russia's leader, Vladimir Putin, said he wanted to create a safe area along the border to stop Ukraine from attacking. Russia has bombed less recently, but their invasion does not seem to be ending, and peace talks have not made much progress. The only real result from recent talks is that many prisoners were exchanged. Keith Kellogg, a US representative for Ukraine, has not yet received a plan from Putin about a possible peace agreement. While there have been many bombings, there were fewer drone attacks from Russia between Monday and Tuesday. Now, Russian soldiers are trying to move further into Sumy, while Ukrainian soldiers are trying to defend their land.
