"If there is an opportunity to leave the city, it's better to use it," Sumy Mayor Oleksandr Lysenko said in a Facebook post.
"I think that today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow you need to pay a lot of attention to your safety. I ask everyone to take my advice."
He also urged to avoid large gatherings of people and not to ignore air raid alerts.
Bilopillia Mayor Yuriy Zarko also called on residents to move away from the state border.
