'Notice the Changes' Public Awareness Campaign

A safety initiative called "Pomichai Zminy" — translated as "Notice the Changes" — is alerting residents to the risks posed by drone and artillery debris that could land on household garden plots. Even small remnants can be life-threatening, so the campaign stresses the need for constant vigilance and care.

Safety experts are urging everyone to avoid touching any fragments, regardless of how harmless they may appear. If you spot any suspicious objects, the advice is to call emergency number 101 immediately. Pay attention to unusual changes in your surroundings and follow the campaign's recommendations. STOP! DO NOT TOUCH! CALL 101! #помічай_зміни.

A Vital Initiative in a Growing Threat Environment

This campaign arrives at a critical moment, as the widespread use of drones and shells in conflict areas makes hazardous debris an increasingly common part of everyday life. Its main objectives are to inform the public about risks that may appear close to home and to encourage a stronger culture of safety among ordinary citizens.

  • By heeding these guidelines, people can significantly lower the risk of accidents.
  • In doing so, they can protect their own lives.
