Updated Recommendations

  1. ALL PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS REMAIN IN EFFECT, WITH THE FOLLOWING MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS:

  2. RESPOND TO THE KHARKIV, MYRHOROD, AND CHERNIGIV STRIKES (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):

    • CONTINUE PROVIDING MEDICAL ASSISTANCE to ALL INJURED in KHARKIV and MYRHOROD.
    • ASSESS DAMAGE to INFRASTRUCTURE in all locations.
    • IMPLEMENT EMERGENCY REPAIR PLANS for DAMAGED INFRASTRUCTURE.
    • GATHER EVIDENCE of POTENTIAL WAR CRIMES in all locations.
  3. ADDRESS THE ONGOING ATTACKS ON ENERGY AND GAS INFRASTRUCTURE (HIGH PRIORITY, ONGOING ACTION):

    • CONTINUE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT and REPAIR EFFORTS.
    • IMPLEMENT MEASURES to MITIGATE DISRUPTIONS to ENERGY AND GAS SUPPLIES.
    • PRIORITIZE PROTECTION of CRITICAL ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE.
  4. The drone threat is still ongoing, remain vigilant.

The situation remains EXTREMELY CRITICAL. The CONFIRMED USE OF BALLISTIC MISSILES in KHARKIV and the SCALE OF THE ATTACKS on MYRHOROD and CHERNIGIV represent a SIGNIFICANT ESCALATION. The WIDESPREAD TARGETING OF INFRASTRUCTURE across MULTIPLE REGIONS indicates a COORDINATED CAMPAIGN to CRIPPLE UKRAINIAN CAPABILITIES. IMMEDIATE AND CONTINUOUS ACTION is required to ADDRESS THE CONSEQUENCES of these ATTACKS and to MITIGATE FUTURE RISKS.
