Northern Ukraine border skirmishes
A series of border skirmishes has taken place along the Russia–Ukraine border in Sumy and Chernihiv Oblasts since the withdrawal of Russian troops from northern Ukraine. Ukrainian officials have stated that strikes across the border happen daily.
By the 4th of April 2022, Russian forces had withdrawn from the Sumy Oblast following the failure of the Russian offensive towards Kyiv, but shelling still continued across the border.
Local authorities in the Kursk Oblast announced on 29 March that a border checkpoint had been shelled from Ukrainian territory. The location in Ukraine from which the shelling was carried out was reportedly struck in return.
The same day, according to Sumy Oblast governor Dmytro Zhyvytskyi, the Russian military blew up one of its own BTRs at the Ryzhivka border checkpoint, in order to provide a justification to destroy the Ukrainian border post there.
The governor of the Kursk Oblast announced that a border post in the Sudzhansky District had been shelled by mortars on 5 April, and that the points of origin, presumably in Ukraine, had been fired on in retaliation. On 9 April, he announced that another border post had been shelled by mortars, this time in Yelizavetovka. The Russian border service and military returned fire into Ukraine.
On 14 April, the Russian military shelled the village of Popivka, Okhtyrka Raion.
According to the Ukrainian Border Guard Service, Russian troops fired at the Chernihiv Oblast twice on 28 April. The following day, more than 30 mortars were fired into the Sumy Oblast from the Russian settlement of Gorodishche. Explosions were reported in the Shostka Raion.
The Russian military shelled Hlukhiv with rocket launchers on 8-9 May, damaging a Jewish cemetery.
