At the Munich Security Conference, one of the chapters of a forthcoming handbook dedicated to transforming civil protection in conditions of prolonged war was presented.
This was reported by the head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, during the roundtable “Wartime Recovery and Resilience: Lessons from Ukraine’s Front Lines.”
According to him, the Kherson region’s experience is planned to be scaled up to the European level. In particular, this includes launching educational programs, online courses, and simulations based on real cases from the region.
“He specifically addressed the challenges facing the European civil protection system. It was designed for short crises, not for prolonged war. And this must be changed now to prevent fatal mistakes and terrible human losses,” Prokudin said.
He also proposed creating a European working group that would integrate Ukrainian developments into the security systems of partner countries.
The full version of the handbook, which is based on practical solutions from people working under daily Russian shelling, is planned to be presented at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC).
Earlier, Human Rights Watch warned that the experience of Kherson could become a reality for many other conflict zones in the world.
