On average - from 2 to 4 thousand people in each region.
Volodymyr Demchuk, Deputy Head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, was appointed as the leader of the exercises.
International partners were also present during the response to conditional introductions regarding emergency events in the Kyiv region - the director of the office of the German Society for International Cooperation in Ukraine (GIZ) Daniel Boucher, law enforcement attaché of the French Embassy in Ukraine Jean-Marc Chambon, adviser on civil protection of the Embassy France in Ukraine Jean-Yves Sifuant, First Secretary of the Embassy of Japan in Ukraine Nozomu Yamashita, Head of the Swedish Agency for Civil Protection and Preparedness in Kyiv Marcin Pater, Head of the Office of the Directorate General of the European Commission for Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations in Ukraine Marianna Franko and coordinator of rapid response of the Office of the General Directorate of the European Commission for civil protection and humanitarian aid operations in Ukraine Johannes Fromholt.
As the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Ihor Klymenko emphasized, the mechanisms of interaction developed by Ukraine in the conditions of a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation were the central element of these exercises. Ukraine has a unique experience of responding to emergency situations in wartime, and this experience is actively transferred to international partners, who highly value the knowledge gained.
In turn, all involved services worked out actions in accordance with pre-developed response plans, including evacuation of the population, provision of emergency and rescue operations, and connection of critical infrastructure objects to alternative power sources.
