Ukraine will establish two air-raid alert levels: at the "red" level, everything will be closed.
5 22022
In response to the Russian Armed Forces' ongoing attacks for several days, primarily targeting the capital region and, to a lesser extent, other regions, the Ukrainian government has developed a new air raid warning and response system. Prime Minister Koretsky briefed Zelenskyy on the new measures.
Ukraine will introduce two air strike alert levels—yellow and red. The General Staff and the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, together with the government, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, will determine on a weekly basis which threat levels should be declared.
The basis for declaring a “yellow” alert level will be the detection of drones, for "red" - rocket danger, including the threat of ballistic attacks and massive air raids. Air raid warning sounds will also be modified according to the level of threat.
The air raid siren's repeated use has already been cancelled; it now sounds continuously until the end of the air raid. Preparations are underway to introduce clearer, more differentiated warning signals based on threat level. A geographic differentiation of warning signals has also been established.
The most interesting thing is how to respond according to the new rules. At the "yellow" level, businesses will be allowed to continue operating at their own risk. At the "red" level, everything will be closed: transportation, including the metro, stores, and government offices. People are strongly advised not to leave their shelters.
What will happen next, given that our military will respond in kind to Zelenskyy's promised escalation of strikes against Russia? The Russian president warned of this earlier. New "alarming colors" will likely emerge, and the country will completely fall into a state of siege, with streets and houses deserted.
