Security service warns Ukrainians against mass gatherings on Easter due to Russian threats

The Ukrainian Security Service press service warned about this.

"The Security Service continues to systematically expose numerous attempts by the aggressor to undermine the socio-political situation in Ukraine during the war. To implement their criminal intentions, the occupiers use a large arsenal of subversive activities against our state," the special service said.

It is noted that Russia can use its henchmen in Ukraine to commit provocations in various spheres of public life, including interfaith relations.

"The purpose of such actions of the occupiers is to create artificial conflict situations among representatives of religious communities to destabilize the internal situation in Ukraine," the Security Service explained.

"The aggressor is also actively engaging his henchmen to adjust hostile fire on the civilian infrastructure of our country. Among the potential targets are places of mass gatherings," they added.

The Security Service of Ukraine urged people to limit their attendance at mass events during Easter, not to succumb to possible provocations or incitement to illegal actions, and to observe curfews. In addition, people should not ignore air raid warnings, but rather take shelter.

The Security Service of Ukraine also called on people to inform law enforcement officers about suspicious objects and people who may be provocative or pose a potential threat.

• More than 23,000 law enforcement officers will be deployed in Ukraine on Easter to ensure law and order.
• The Kyiv City Military Administration urged residents not to attend church on Easter for security reasons.
