In Moscow and the Moscow region, which on June 18 suffered the largest Ukrainian drone attack since the beginning of the Great War, no warnings were sent about the drone threat.
“No SMS, no sirens. All the information is in local chats, and there is much more information than on TV,” one reader wrote to Meduza. He indicated that he lives in southeastern Moscow. In this part of the city is the Moscow oil refinery, where a severe fire broke out after a drone strike.
“We haven’t slept since 4:48 a.m. There hasn’t been a single text message, not a single siren.” I mentioned Astra is her reader.
“And we will somehow comment on the fact that the danger has not yet been announced and there was not a single siren or text message? Or did I miss something? – asked a resident of the city, whose post Astra quoted, in her Telegram channel.
“Rise” too He writesthat in Ramenskoye, Kotelniki and Krasnogorsk (located near Moscow) residents learned of the threat only after seeing drones flying near them or seeing the destruction. Meanwhile, there were no text messages, no sirens on the streets, or any other warnings.
Kotelnikov’s administration, which is not far from where the Moscow oil refinery is located, told residents that they are not responsible for operating the alarm systems – this is done centrally by the Ministry of Emergency Situations, He writes The daily storm.
In turn, the Orekhovo-Zuevo authorities announced that “the decision to launch public warning systems and activate sirens is taken based on the evolving operational situation and only in the event of an immediate threat.”
Kotelnikov’s administration also stated that it would not disclose to the population information about the location of the shelters – “it will be communicated to the population during the mobilization period and in wartime.” Officially, as Medusa repeatedly wrote, the mobilization was not yet complete; Putin did not sign the corresponding decree.
