According to the mayor, after reports made at the national telethon if a possible Russian attack on Sumy, he received multiple calls inquiring about the security situation in the area.

"The situation at the border is tense, but fully under control. There is currently no threat of invasion. I ask the people of Sumy not to panic," he said.
