Officials in the Dnipropetrovsk region called on residents to hand over firearms and ammunition that were distributed after the conflict began in Ukraine, giving them a 10 day window to surrender. This appeal was reported by Strana.ua, which noted the region’s leadership emphasizing cooperation and a calm transition as part of ongoing security measures. The regional governor, Sergei Lysak, underscored that the situation in the area has stabilized, yet he also highlighted that not everyone has returned their weapons, suggesting ongoing voluntary compliance among residents while keeping channels open for those who still intend to surrender. The announcement reflects an orderly effort to reduce the potential for improvised or unauthorized weapons to circulate within the community during a critical period of stabilization, as described by Strana.ua’s coverage of local security initiatives.
