(Central News Agency reporter Zhong Youzhen Liweifu special report on the 29th) When mentioning Ukraine, many people will think of the people fighting once morest the enemy. However, civilians have different motivations for preparing for war. Some people actively train to defend their homes and the country, while others participate in civil defense just to pursue Rambo’s dream. These are very common in the eyes of the instructor “Fox”. He has only one belief, which is to ensure that students understand how to save their lives. If you live, you win half the battle.

Russia is waiting for an opportunity. There is no boundary between “wartime” and “peace” in Ukraine. People of different occupations, social classes, ages, and combat training levels have condensed into self-reliant and self-reliant civil defense individuals. In February last year, the Russian army suppressed the border. Accelerate the self-defense awareness of the Ukrainian people. Congressman Kira Rudik, who visited Taiwan last year, held a Kalashnikovs (AK-47 rifle), announcing that it was time to learn to pull the trigger.

Ludek may be the epitome of the general public in Ukraine, but there are still cases where the awareness of war preparation is weak.

He is a house agent on weekdays and an instructor on holidays. He has encountered many “Foxes”. From 2014 to 2015, “Fox” rushed to Luhansk (Luhansk) in eastern Ukraine to serve as a volunteer. After the large-scale invasion of the Russian army in 2022, “Fox” turned into an instructor and trained a group of self-funded citizens for the Territorial Defense Force in the forest on the outskirts of the western city of Lviv to operate drones, evacuate wounded soldiers, simulate combat and Make an improvised explosive device.

In his opinion, the students’ defensive awareness and positive mentality are very important. For example, those who are interested will throw all kinds of questions wildly, and he is also very happy to share his knowledge. People who don’t have much interest are just wasting time, “I don’t want to pay any energy for these people at all.”

“Fox” said in an interview with the Central News Agency yesterday that some trainees only care regarding when to eat lunch, “obviously they only think regarding themselves”, not the purpose of training in the forest. There are also people who are trained because “it’s super cool”, can run wild in the forest with a gun, and have military uniforms. These people will never take over when the regular Ukrainian army is overwhelmed.

“These people will soon find that their physical fitness cannot bear the training intensity, and they will realize that they are not Rambo, so they will no longer be interested in (civil defense) and turn around and go home without learning anything.”

As an instructor, “Fox” has hundreds of students. There are 18-year-old men who were “returned” by the regular army following serving in the army in Kherson, southern Ukraine for 3 months. There are also 60-year-old students who are physically stronger than the younger generation. Need any assistive devices to be able to go up and down the mountain.

In terms of military resources, “Fox” understands that Ukraine is inferior to Russia, so he believes that everyone should participate in civil defense training. He also tries his best to do what he can and mobilizes enough active people. “They learned something, and following the training, we teachers and students fought once morest the enemy together.”

On the day “Fox” was interviewed, Russia fired missiles at cities across Ukraine in the early hours of the morning, killing 26 people including 5 children.

About 6 hours following the airstrike ended, the Bee Gees hit “Staying Alive” came from the abandoned gymnastics center in the center of Lviv. The rhythm of the song performs cardiopulmonary resuscitation for the dummy on the ground, hoping to help people continue their lives when they actually play.

Listening to fast songs and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation are just the most basic training courses. The first aid training instructor Oleh will also let students who do not necessarily have a medical background understand that when they go to the battlefield to support, they will bear the double pressure of the wounded and the scene of the war. pressure.

“When they show the training results of different skills indoors, they are very smooth, but when they enter the simulated war scene, the compound situation, they have no clue.”

Ole, who is a nurse himself, also conducted simulation training on common injuries in the Ukrainian war, such as wounded soldiers with many wounds and head injuries. He emphasized that head injuries are more likely to cause the injured to have hallucinations, and misjudging the first aid method at the moment may cause irreversible consequences.

Oulie didn’t want to delve into the detailed first aid steps and principles. While watching the trainees first aid the “injuries” who fixed lower limb fractures, he said that as long as they are alive, half the battle is won.
