Tyotkine is a settlement northwest of the city of Sumy. According to the Deepstate project, after the start of the Kursk operation, the Defense Forces took control of an 11.35-kilometer-square (4.3 square miles) area on the right bank of the Seim River in the immediate vicinity of the town. The gray zone, which also includes part of Tyotkine, is almost 9.5 square kilometers (3.6 square miles).
