Russians are amassing troops on the border of Sumy Oblast

Eight more settlements in the Ukrainian-Russian border area of Sumy Oblast will be evacuated amid daily Russian shelling, regional governor Volodymyr Artyukh said on national television on June 7.

The announcement comes after three people were killed and three others wounded by Russian shelling earlier in the week, bringing the total number of civilians killed in the oblast this year to 50.

"These exceed last year's numbers," he said, adding that Russian forces are carrying out attacks with artillery, mortars, and kamikaze drones.

"Yesterday there was a meeting of the Regional Defense Council. The military command proposed evacuating eight more settlements within the 10-kilometer zone," and orders have already been issued to the affected communities.

On May 29, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that Russian forces continued their presence, conducting sabotage and reconnaissance activities along the borders of Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts.

Biden addresses poor debate performance, attacks Trump at Raleigh rally
President Joe Biden on Friday addressed his poor performance in Thursday's presidential debate, just hours after he faltered on stage in his matchup against former President Donald Trump. During the rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, a more energetic-appearing Biden acknowledged that he's not a young man, but contended that his morals and history prove that he's still fit for the job. Biden spent much of the rally pointing out what he called Trump's false claims during the debate about the economy, immigration and crime.

Trump campaign memo signals plans to reduce the national GOP platform
Donald Trump's top advisers are planning to overhaul and shorten the Republican Party's platform so that it will be "in line" with the former president's "vision for America's future," according to a memo sent to the party's platform committee that was obtained by ABC News. The memo comes as some more socially conservative RNC members -- along with some anti-abortion groups -- have expressed concern that the platform this cycle might adopt Trump's stance on reproductive rights, which would lift the call for a 20-week federal abortion ban that is part of the current platform's language. Trump has been clear about his opposition to a federal ban and his preference for this issue to be left up to the states.
