Civilians living near the border with Russia in northern Ukraine should heed the advice of local authorities to evacuate amid daily enemy attacks, Nayev wrote on Facebook page on Jan. 17, adding that it was necessary to allow the Ukrainian military the ability to fully engage the invaders without endangering civilians.

Earlier, the State Border Guard Service reported that Russian diversion and reconnaissance groups had recently concentrated in trying to enter Sumy Oblast.

In December, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine said that Russian troops had intensified their sabotage and reconnaissance operations in Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts.
