Tkachenko: protection of critical infrastructure, emergency readiness to be strengthened in Kyiv region

On Telegram, Head of Kyiv Regional Military Administration Tymur Tkachenko announced that the Defense Council of Kyiv Region will strengthen protection of critical infrastructure, emergency readiness, and emergency response capabilities ahead of the autumn-winter period. During the meeting, the focus was on safeguarding energy facilities, community life-support systems, and ensuring safe transportation for both passengers and freight.

Recent inspections highlighted several rule violations, prompting Tkachenko to set tasks aimed at improving transport sector order and enhancing transportation control.

A key component of their strategy is developing a clear algorithm of actions for emergencies, involving all relevant services, including civil defense forces, medics, volunteers, and specialists who provide psychological support. The aim is to ensure everyone is aware of their roles in a crisis situation, with easy access to necessary assistance.

To facilitate this, Tkachenko ordered an audit of shelters and the updating of information on protective structures within the region. The finalized data will be available through a chatbot, allowing residents to provide feedback on the accessibility or condition of protective facilities.
