The EU announced its first plan to stockpile essential goods like food, water, fuel, and medicines in case of crises, amid fears of potential war with Russia. Brussels' 'stockpiling strategy' comes as NATO warns of a possible attack by Russia within five years. The bloc aims to defend itself by 2030 by bolstering its militaries and ensuring the availability of life-saving supplies. The plan includes coordinating stocks between countries, identifying gaps, and strengthening 'EU-level stockpiles'.
Preparedness levels vary among EU citizens, with countries like Finland focusing on readiness due to their proximity to Russia. The EU advises households to have a three-day survival kit. The strategy also aims to prepare for natural disasters, health emergencies, and cyber threats. Britain is enhancing civil planning and resilience, with measures to address potential threats and inform citizens about preparedness.
