  • Story Text: A senior Ukrainian army doctor on Friday (February 13) warned Europeans to prepare themselves “before war comes to you.”
    Speaking on the sidelines of the annual Munich Security Conference (MSC), the head of the medical department of Ukraine’s 7th Rapid Response Corps, Olexandr Falshchynskyi said that with its experience, his country was Europe’s “best partner because we already live in a future of war.”    
    He made his remarks at the temporarily opened Ukraine House across the street from the MSC’s main venue, a luxury hotel.
    Earlier, the foreign ministers of Ukraine and Germany officially opened Ukraine House which offers an exhibition which “showcases the conference's continued support to Ukraine,” according to the MSC organisers.
