The Security Service and the National Police, together with other units of Ukraine’s Defense Forces, are conducting scheduled security measures in Shevchenkivskyi district of Kyiv.

The main purpose is to check the anti-terrorist (counter-sabotage) protection of places where large numbers of people gather.

During the security measures, law enforcement officers will:

• inspect the territory and individual buildings and premises (residences, offices, common areas of multi-apartment residential buildings, public service establishments, etc.) to detect items prohibited from circulation;
• check citizens;
• examine the state of anti-terrorist (counter-sabotage) protection of the buildings.

The activities will be carried out in accordance with the legal regime of martial law.

Due to this, there may be restrictions on movement and traffic on city streets, checks of citizens’ documents and inspections of vehicles.

The Security Service asks people to be understanding of possible inconveniences and to respond appropriately to the lawful actions and demands of the law enforcement officers.

You must carry identification documents with you and comply with the curfew.

We emphasize that in its activities the Security Service adheres to the principle of legality and constitutional inviolability of the rights and freedoms of citizens.
