The representative of the Security Service of Ukraine, Artem Dekhtyarenko, addressed the Ukrainians in the format of a video message, in which he urged them not to attend mass gatherings during the Easter holidays and to follow safety recommendations..

" For this, the Russian Federation is trying to use various tools and, among other things, pays special attention to religious topics, Dekhtyarenko explains during a video message.. “Today, the Security Service of Ukraine is making every effort to neutralize the influence of the enemy on the church environment and not give the Russian Federation even a minimal opportunity to use the religious issue to achieve its own goals.”.

What rules should Ukrainians follow:.

limit attendance at mass events, under whatever slogans they may take place;

do not succumb to possible provocations or incitement to illegal actions;

comply with the curfew set for your region;

do not ignore air raid signals and stay in shelters during it;

do not linger unnecessarily in churches during the consecration of the Easter basket;

report suspicious objects and persons to law enforcement agencies that may provoke provocations or pose a potential threat.

Dekhtyarenko recalled that the SBU can be contacted by calling 0-800-501-482 - this is a hotline, as well as by writing to e-mail callcenter@ssu. gov. ua.

" - For the second year in a row, Ukrainians will celebrate Easter under martial law. But we are confident in our victory and are doing everything to bring it closer as quickly as possible.! We ask you to be vigilant and follow the safety recommendations"
