Details
Citing sources in the country's Interior Ministry, the publication writes that the first specific plan for the protection of citizens in the event of a possible military conflict is part II of the National Civil Protection Strategy, a five-year initiative approved by the National Security Council on October 15 and which will soon be published in the official state journal.
The strategy, which replaced the strategy in force from 2019 to 2024, defines for the first time the "military risk" in the framework of civil protection emergencies and involves the development and publication of "specific plans that are currently being worked on," according to the same document.

At the same time, the largest EU countries expressed their readiness to increase military and financial assistance to Ukraine in the event of a reduction in support from the United States. This was stated by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski after a meeting with European colleagues.
