Dmytro Zhyvytskyy, Head of the Sumy Oblast Military Administration, disclosed this during his briefing at Media Center Ukraine — Ukrinform.

“We have relatively good performance results of the sowing campaign for a region on the border. We sowed about 95% of the last year’s area. We are preparing to gather the grain harvest in Sumy Oblast to ensure safety for our agrarians,” he said.
