Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk officially announced that he intends to declare a state of natural disaster in the country due to large-scale floods.
Points of attention
- As a result of damage to the dam, the town of Strone-Shlionski was under water, which led to a tragic situation.
- Ukraine is already offering help to Poland and is preparing to send a hundred rescuers to eliminate the consequences of the floods.
- The situation in Poland requires immediate measures to protect the population and minimize losses.
The situation in Poland is rapidly worsening
What is important to understand is that a state of natural disaster can be imposed on part or all of the country in accordance with current regulations in Poland.
After consultations with relevant ministers and services, I ordered the preparation of a resolution of the Council of Ministers on the introduction of a state of natural disaster, — said Donald Tusk.
In addition, it is emphasized that in the small Polish town of Strone-Słonski in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, a dam on the Moravka River was damaged by a flood.
As a result, the city was actually under water.
According to the journalists, the situation in the specified settlement is really tragic, because the water destroys everything in its path.
Many photos and videos from the city are published on the network. One of the pictures shows a sunken fire truck.
Ukraine has already offered Poland its help
According to Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the Ukrainian authorities have offered to send a hundred rescuers to Poland to help eliminate the consequences of large-scale floods.
The politician noted that the head of the Cabinet of Ministers Denys Shmyhal sent him words of solidarity with Poland and readiness to immediately send a hundred rescuers equipped with special equipment to fight floods.
Very touching, Tusk noted.
By the way, the head of state Volodymyr Zelensky instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sibiza to offer neighboring countries, in particular Poland, the help of Ukrainian rescuers in eliminating the consequences of flooding due to extreme rainfall.
