EU urges citizens to stockpile essentials in case of nuclear, cyber or chemical threats

EU news

The EU has advised citizens to prepare for potential emergencies, including nuclear or chemical threats, by stockpiling essential supplies to last at least three days.

This recommendation is part of a broader initiative led by former Finnish President Sauli Niinisto, focusing on “building resilience” in the face of increasing threats like cyberattacks, sabotage, and possible military aggression.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen highlighted vulnerabilities to infrastructure, warning that cyber threats could severely impact EU cities. The report calls for coordinated defense measures, improved crisis preparedness, and increased budget allocation toward security and resilience.

The report also emphasises the need for joint EU efforts to strengthen military readiness, including a proposal for 20% of the EU’s budget to be allocated toward defense.

Additionally, it calls for an anti-sabotage network to counter rising threats, particularly in light of perceived “Russian hostility”.

Niinisto advocates for developing an EU intelligence service to improve information-sharing and strategic response capabilities. The report arrives amid Western concerns over Russia’s intentions in Europe, with Russian officials dismissing these as exaggerated attempts to divert public attention from domestic issues.

  1. I wonder IF the E.U. also has D.U.M.B.’s as well for their Illuminati ‘Elite’…?
    Probably so.
    Keep an eye on the NATO / EU countries and their submarine fleets. If the subs all vacate their ports, then something big is about to happen.
    Keep in touch with Flight Radar, as when the civilian flights begin to disappear and military flights crowd the screens, then something is afoot.
    To the boys and girls on the bombers, tankers and AWACS; Don’t forget to close your thermal curtains…
