Dear friends, a series of terrorist attacks, occurred in Brussels: at least 17 people have been killed and many more were wounded. Terrorism has reached the center of Europe.
Somehow, when it comes to acts of terrorism outside the EU borders, it is perceived as another message in the mass media: "as a result of the attack, three people were killed", "due to the accident ten people have drowned". Unfortunately, it's just the figures in the news for the world. But now the terror crept into the heart of civilized Europe, and she turned out to be not ready to meet it face to face.
I have repeatedly talked about the terrorism in Israel: every day we struggle with the terrorist attacks, attacks on citizens, with attacks of another intifada. Every Israeli knows how to behave when the bombing or an attack begins: it is all absorbed with mother's milk. Europeans, as well as Ukrainians, do not know how to behave in such cases.
Today's terrorist attack in Belgium is a classic example. Just yesterday, the Belgian government announced that the last terrorist, who participated in the attack on Paris, has been neutralized; it was stated that the police operation was completed successfully. And now - a bloody terrorist attack in Brussels.
When we deal with the terrorism, one can never relax. It is a many-headed hydra, and if we cut off one head, the ten will grow instead. This is particularly important today when a wave of migration has swept over the Europe, taking into account that many migrants are members of the radical organizations.
Today, Europeans will have to learn how to live in the condition, when it is necessary to monitor the safety of every day and every minute: do not be lazy to go and to check the package that is left, to tell children about rules of behaviour, to contact the police in all suspected cases. Today, everyone becomes responsible for its life and the lives of others. The security of the whole society and our future depends on our actions.
I sincerely condole with relatives and families of the victims today in Brussels. Rest in peace.
