To ensure the safety of Kyiv residents and guests of the city, the police will for the first time use three specialized vehicles and a helicopter.

Censor.NET reports citing the National Police press service.

To ensure security, law and order, the police will use two cars with the latest equipment. The third vehicle will be used by the National Guard. The cars will be used to record and transmit information to the National Police command centers.



The vehicles will be deployed close to mass gatherings in order to instantly react to any incidents.



"This allows us to quickly obtain a video from this or that location and analyze the situation, and accordingly take decisions on the use of forces and means, special equipment, and all the available measures for the protection of public order," said Kostiantyn Bushuiev, a National Police deputy chief.
