State Emergency Service of Ukraine
More details
In 2025, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES) continues to play a pivotal role in responding to an array of crises resulting primarily from ongoing military confrontations, including Russian drone and missile attacks. These brave personnel are often seen on frontlines, dealing with catastrophes in both urban and rural settings. For instance, after a drone strike on the Chornobyl NPP, SES ensured the radiation levels remained safe. They have also been instrumental in extinguishing fires and conducting search and rescue operations post-attack in regions like Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk.In high-risk scenarios, the SES teams demonstrate exceptional courage and resilience. They operate under continuous threats, as seen during the fire fighting efforts in Kharkiv, where they worked under potential repeat shelling. Furthermore, the SES is responsible for the extraction and neutralization of hazardous war remnants, including unexploded ordnances and drone debris in civilian areas, ensuring public safety.
Their contribution not only revolves around immediate emergency responses but also in the post-crisis recovery, assessing and mitigating structural damage, and helping restore normalcy in affected Ukrainian communities. Their quick and efficient response to disasters showcases the crucial role of emergency services in wartime, highlighting both their bravery and the critical challenges they face daily.
