The deputy head of Poland's Interior Ministry, Wieslaw Lesnikiewicz, emphasized the importance of citizens having transistor radios, calling them potentially “the only means to receive messages.”

In an interview with the PAP agency, Polish Deputy Interior Minister Lesnickiewicz said that it is necessary for Polish residents to form a stock of food and medicines sufficient to live independently for 72 hours. This will allow to survive the first, most difficult days of a potential crisis.

In a critical situation, the state will not always be able to quickly replace the personal actions of each citizen,” he said.

Lesnikievich recommended to stock up on water, necessary medicines, personal hygiene products, long-lasting food and alternative sources of lighting that do not depend on the power grid, as well as to have on hand charged external batteries.

According to available information, in case of emergency situations, whether natural disasters or military actions, 16 thousand volunteer fire brigades and 5 thousand rescue squads of the State Fire Service are ready to help the population of Poland.

This year, Poland has carried out an inventory of available protective structures. According to the fire service, there are more than 300 thousand shelters in the country, which can accommodate more than 1.1 million people.

The Polish authorities have brought charges against 43 Russian specialists involved in the investigation of the circumstances of the plane crash near Smolensk and plan to put them on an international wanted list. The head of the investigation team, Krzysztof Schwarz, said that serious violations were found in the forensic medical examination conclusions.

According to Schwarz, there is a significant amount of unreliable information in the materials mentioned, which raises legitimate questions. The claims relate to the procedure for examining the bodies of 61 people killed in the crash, where, according to the Polish side, Russian specialists should have provided a more detailed description of the nature and localization of injuries, as well as other important information.

However, as Schwartz notes, serious discrepancies were found in more than 60 points of the autopsy protocols. The Polish prosecutor's office intends to apply to the court for a search warrant, which will enable the international search for these experts to begin.

Schwarz noted that despite the identified deficiencies, the specific qualifications of these offenses are not specified. It should also be noted that Warsaw decided not to file a lawsuit in the European Court of Human Rights in connection with the crash of the Tu-154 airplane near Smolensk. The wreckage of the aircraft, on board of which was Polish President Lech Kaczynski, will remain in Russia until the end of the investigation, according to an international report received by the Polish authorities.

Earlier, the IAC named the cause of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 airplane crash in 2019. Sergey Lavrov said that the data obtained from the “black boxes” of the plane that crashed near Aktau did not confirm the speculations of journalists. In mid-February, the pilots' negotiations before the crash appeared online.
