Amid these events, he urged people not to take the air-raid alarms lightly.

Quote: "And I want to be heard now by all representatives of local authorities who are responsible for specific hromadas, for a specific territory (hromada is an administrative unit that includes a town or village and adjacent settlements – ed.).

Shelters in cities should be accessible. People need to understand when and how the number and availability of shelters will increase.
