New Delhi: The world is witnessing war on many fronts. On one side there is Russia-Ukraine war and on the other side Israel’s war with Iran and Lebanon. After Donald Trump won the election, now everyone’s eyes are on Putin and Trump. Meanwhile, two NATO countries have taken some such steps, due to which the sounds of the Third World War have started being heard. Yes, NATO’s new members Sweden and Finland have advised their citizens to prepare to avoid war. Both the countries have asked their citizens to stock up on diapers, medicines and baby food in advance. Now the question is whether the world is really going to see more war? Is the Third World War about to start? After all, what is Donald Trump going to do with Putin, due to which the people of these two countries were given a war warning?
In fact, the fire of Russia-Ukraine war can erupt any time. America has given Ukraine permission to use long-range missiles. In such a situation, it is natural for Putin to explode. Putin has already warned that if any such action is taken by NATO countries, the result will be a nuclear attack. This is the reason why the atmosphere of fear has increased further. It is not clear yet whether Trump will further strain relations with Putin or try to end the war. However, it is certain that the atmosphere has become more heated.
According to CNN, Sweden and Finland have issued new guidelines to their citizens on how to survive war. After the Russia-Ukraine war, NATO countries have strengthened their defense measures. Both countries have joined this NATO alliance in the last two years after Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Since then, many European countries have increased their military spending to strengthen long-term security in the region.
What warning is being given?
Booklets have been distributed to millions of homes in the Nordic countries i.e. Sweden and Finland. The booklets distributed provide information on how to deal with military conflicts, communications disruptions and power outages as well as extreme weather events. Government officials have given suggestions on how people can protect themselves in case of war. Tips range from storing bottled water and sanitary products to growing edible food at home. The brochure also provides advice for parents and caregivers, instructing people to keep diapers, medicine and baby food safe.
Alert to 50 lakhs
According to the Swedish Civil Contingency Agency (MSB), the Swedish government will distribute booklets to all 5 million households for two weeks from November 18, titled How to deal with a crisis or war if it comes. The Swedish Civil Contingency Agency has prepared this pamphlet. This is the fifth edition of the Swedish brochure first published during the Second World War and in which the emphasis is on war preparation. The purpose of this step is to avoid the heat of Ukraine war. The possibility of attack has also been expressed in this.
What’s in the guidelines?
Finland’s Interior Ministry also issued new emergency guidance on Monday, advising people how to deal with prolonged power outages, water shortages, telecommunication disruptions, severe weather events and military conflict. Earlier this year, Norway and Denmark, two other members of the 32-nation grouping, had also issued updated guidelines for times of war, in which people have been told to be prepared for possible crises.
