These are people older than 40 years. Also, those who are not called for due to illness, etc.," Nishchuk assured .
He announced that the People's Guard will be engaged in the protection of strategic objects of Lviv. "Our goal is to protect and defend the Lviv region.

These are life support objects: water mains, energy facilities, etc. The Army and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not be able to to protect these objects. It is also the safety of citizens.
