All the children were taken out of Velika Pisarivka in the Sumy region, which is under shelling

All children were evacuated from Velika Pisarivka in the Sumy region, which is under almost continuous shelling by the Russian military. Radio Svoboda correspondent Alyona Yatsina, who is directly in the community, reported this on March 18: “As far as we know and as far as we are informed, there are no children left in the village.

In the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces, the increased shelling of the Sumy region is associated with raids by Ukrainian volunteers on the territory of Russia.

“I will say without exaggeration that during the past week, Sumyshchyna is going through perhaps the most difficult times since April 2022, when the “Russians” left the region. The number of strikes, the number of airstrikes, and the number of shellings increased many times. This especially applies to the border areas of those communities, which are the epicenter of the activity of these battalions, where active fighting takes place. And Sumy is the area that is actively involved in the liberation of Russia today,” said Dmytro Lantushenko, head of the public relations service of the 117th separate territorial defense brigade.

As of March 17, according to the police, 190 people, including 26 children, were evacuated from the Velikopysarov community.
