"I address all not indifferent citizens to understand such measures. Be vigilant and report to the police about detection of objects of interest (abandoned bags, suitcases, boxes) and about persons whose behavior or appearance arouse suspicion of the possibility of committing terrorist acts", - Holovin noted.

He promised to effectively respond to reports of detection of objects of interest in places of work, residence or congestion.

"Report any information concerning the movement of unidentified equipment and groups of people, the temporary settlement of suspicious strangers", - Holovin called on citizens.
