Polish authorities are preparing a guide for the population on how to act in the event of war or a natural disaster. It is planned to be translated into Ukrainian, Deputy Director of the Department of Civil Protection and Crisis Management at the Ministry of the Interior, Robert Klonowski, stated this in a comment to Reuters.
"Wars are not won on the front lines. The Ukrainian example shows it very clearly," Klonowski noted
According to Poland’s Ministry of the Interior, the guide will include, among other things, a warning that during a crisis there may be disruptions in the supply of food, medicine, and fuel.
The guide will be published in Polish as early as September. It will later be translated into English and Ukrainian. Versions for the visually impaired and children are also planned.
The ministry intends to deliver printed copies to all 14 million households in Poland.
Notably, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has previously warned on multiple occasions that the threat of a global war is serious and real — especially in the context of the war in Ukraine, as well as Russian sabotage, disinformation, and cyberattacks targeting the West.
