🇺🇦Kyiv began to distribute instructions in case of war

The authorities of Ukraine began to send booklets with guidance to residents of the country in case of a war. Thus, according to the Ukrainian edition of Vesti.ua, the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy distributed instructions on how to act in case of emergency and war to functioning enterprises in Kiev.

The entire manual consists of 14 pages. On the very first page, the authors state that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are able to protect the people of Ukraine and "effectively deter the aggressor." At the same time, the Ukrainians were given dozens of tips on how to act at the outbreak of hostilities.

In particular, residents of the "square" were advised to equip their homes in advance and find out the location of the nearest shelter, stock up on water and medicines, collect things, documents, prepare private vehicles for evacuation, and also consider possible alternative sources of light and heat in case of a power outage and central heating.

In addition, the document details how to assemble the "alarm suitcase", as well as instructions in case hostilities begin in the country. In particular, the brochure provides advice in case of shelling from small arms, artillery and multiple launch rocket systems, as well as the procedure for declaring a general alarm.

◾️The program in case of war was developed back in June last year by the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security together with the State Emergency Service, the Ministry of Defense and the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

— 🇷🇴⚔ The Minister of National Defense of Romania, Mr. Vasile Dincu, recommended that the Romanian population don't need to panic, even considering that Romania is the Southwestern Neighbor of Ukraine, because the country does not plan to fight against 🇷🇺 Russia over 🇺🇦 Ukraine, since that Ukraine isn't a NATO member.

🇺🇲 “By the end of the press conference, I wished Biden would speak in public much less frequently. It was terrible, it was strange, it was shameful not only for him, but for the whole country. Biden unleashed on us a stream of consciousness about his son's former employer - this is a small corrupt country called Ukraine. It turns out that the Ukrainian border with Russia, unlike our border with Mexico, is a sacred line created by God himself, which must be protected at any cost, even with the lives of Americans. Why do we need this - Biden did not tell us. The Americans are paying for a proxy war in Ukraine against Russia that could suddenly turn into a real war that will come to us here in the United States.”
