In an assessment of the campaign on 4 March, Frederick Kagan wrote that the Sumy axis was currently “the most successful and dangerous Russian avenue of advance on Kyiv”, and commented that the geography favoured mechanised advances as the terrain “is flat and sparsely populated, offering few good defensive positions”. Russian forces made several deep advances along axes from the Sumy area, winning several battles in the process. Travelling along highways, Russian forces reached Brovary, an eastern suburb of Kyiv, on 4 March. The Pentagon confirmed on 6 April that the Russian army had left Chernihiv Oblast, while Sumy Oblast remained contested. On 7 April, Dmytro Zhyvytskyi, governor of Sumy Oblast, stated that all Russian troops had left the region, adding that the territory of the region was still unsafe due to rigged explosives and other ammunition left behind by Russian troops.
