Kiev residents took part in exercises on civil territorial defence on Saturday.

Weekly exercises were held on the premises of the Atek plant. The Public Defence Headquarters organised them with the ‘National Corps’ and the instructors of the public initiative named ‘Total Resistance.’

“During turbulent times for the state, the civilian population of Ukraine acquires the necessary knowledge and skills to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their native land in the event of a full-scale invasion by enemy forces,” the party’s official statement says.

Kiev and the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics have accused each other of ceasefire violations and shelling in recent days. The OSCE special monitoring mission report reports 222 breaches of the ceasefire regime in the DPR and 648 in the LPR, of which 654 explosions on February 17.

The USA and other Western countries have expressed fears that Russia could stage a false flag attack to justify invading Ukraine, amid reports that Moscow has concentrated around 150,000 troops next to the Ukraine border.

Russia has said it is carrying out planned military drills and that some of the troops have been already withdrawn to their permanent bases, though Western countries have said there is no evidence of a pull-back.

On Thursday, US President Joe Biden said military action could begin “in the next several days” but stressed that a diplomatic solution was still possible.
