According to him, such a center in the Kharkiv region has high efficiency indicators, and therefore there is an intention to scale the relevant experience to other regions.

Such a solution will allow for a prompt response to threats, coordinate actions between all forces, and maximize the protection of critical infrastructure and civilians.
