Reference Message Network reported on April 8 that according to a report on April 7 by RT, a website of Russia Today, the German Handelsblatt quoted the words of the spokesperson for the German Interior Ministry as saying that the ministry suggested that schools help children prepare for crises and wars.
The report said that since President Trump took office and the negotiation on the Ukraine issue was initiated under the mediation of the United States, Western European governments have frequently called for "civilian preparedness".
According to the German Handelsblatt, the spokesperson for the German Interior Ministry said: "Considering the recent security situation, we should pay more attention to civil defense work, including reflecting it in school education."
As reported by the German Handelsblatt, the Federal Defense Forces of Germany considered that the scenario of Russia attacking NATO countries in four to seven years has "reality".
It is reported that the German Interior Ministry suggested that students should "be prepared for the worst situations", and crisis handling training should be introduced into the school curriculum, and every family should stockpile emergency supplies.
Since the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine three years ago, Russia has repeatedly refuted the allegations that Russia might attack NATO countries. However, last week, such calls for "civilian preparedness" were widely heard in EU countries and the UK.
Recently, the European Commission suggested that EU citizens stockpile essential items such as food and drinking water to maintain at least three days of life in an emergency.
Poland and Norway restored Cold War practices, such as activating air-raid shelters and bunkers, and conducting large-scale military exercises. Sweden and Finland have prepared guidelines for how citizens can respond to attacks. (Translated by Liu Ziyan)
