Putin has gone mad: what to do in case of hostilities
On February 21, Vladimir Putin signed a decree recognizing the independence of the DPR and LPR. He also instructed the Russian Ministry of Defense to ensure the maintenance of peace in the self-proclaimed republics. Immediately, the residents of the occupied territories of Ukraine began filming columns of heavy machinery moving to the line of demarcation.
All this means withdrawal from the Minsk agreements and even greater intensification of hostilities in the East. We all need to keep a cool head and be prepared for different scenarios. So Rubryka explains what to do in case of hostilities.
What is the problem?
In bullets, in tanks, in Russian president
"Russia has done everything to preserve Ukraine's territorial integrity," Vladimir Putin said in a February 21 address.
The entire speech of the Russian president consisted of a pseudo-historical justification for why Russia doesn't consider Ukraine a sovereign independent state. There was also a description of the lives of Ukrainians who are unable to pay for utilities and at the same time a description of Ukraine as a potential nuclear power, which is an extremely great threat to Ukraine.
Putin summed up that he recognized the independence of the DPR and LPR and was ready to help the "friendly republics." The result is as follows:
- Russia has officially decided to send troops to the eastern territories of Ukraine and is already doing so;
- Russia has officially withdrawn from the Minsk agreements;
- Russian troops continue to be near Ukraine's borders, ostensibly for training purposes.
No one can predict what Putin will do next. But everyone should know how to behave in case of getting into the epicenter of hostilities.
