The Security Service of Ukraine urges citizens to be especially vigilant on the eve of and on Independence Day of Ukraine
24 August Ukraine will celebrate Independence Day. In the context of the full-scale war, the enemy may use mass events to carry out shelling, provocations, terrorist attacks, sabotage, cyberattacks, and other crimes.
The Security Service calls on citizens to be vigilant and to take responsibility for their own safety.
On the eve of and during festive events, it is worth following several basic rules:
▪️ do not ignore air raid alarms and identify the nearest shelter in advance;
▪️ do not approach suspicious objects and do not try to move or inspect them yourself;
▪️ if you discover suspicious persons, objects, or other signs of possible illegal activity – report them to law enforcement;
▪️ do not publish photos or videos indicating the locations of military personnel, critical infrastructure facilities, checkpoints, air defense systems, etc.;
▪️ do not spread information about the consequences of shelling, the operation of air defenses, or the movements of Ukrainian military personnel;
▪️ do not follow requests from unknown persons (even if they claim to be law enforcement officers) who ask you to carry out dubious tasks, including photographing or filming certain objects, delivering a package, or leaving an item in a specified place.
Separately, the Security Service draws citizens’ attention to attempts by Russian special services to involve Ukrainians in preparing terrorist attacks and committing sabotage.
If unknown persons offer money for arson, property damage, placing unknown objects, collecting information about military facilities, or other illegal actions – do not agree to such offers and immediately report them to the Security Service.
If you receive information about the preparation of sabotage, terrorist attacks, recruitment, or other activities that may pose a threat to national security – contact the following:
▪️ SBU "hotline" phone: 1516
▪️ chat-bot “Spali” of an FSB agent: t.me/spaly_fsb_bot
▪️ Email: [email protected]
