• In June, General Serhiy Nayev called on residents of the Sumy region's border area to evacuate.

The Russians are firing from multiple rocket launchers, artillery and conducting air strikes with guided aerial munitions," he said.
• On 10 July, the authorities of Sumy region decided to evacuate people from a five-kilometre zone from the state border of Ukraine.
• On 14 July, Volodymyr Bitsak, deputy head of the Sumy district administration, told Espreso TV that lists of people willing to evacuate from the border communities of the Sumy region due to constant shelling from the territory of the Russian Federation were already being compiled.
