On November 28, 2024, a report on the CTVBY channel gained over 1.5 million views:
While CSTO allies are making every effort to maintain peace, extinguish hotspots on the map, and prevent new conflicts, European countries are preparing their citizens for war. According to American media, the EU is creating strategic grain reserves and food supply schemes for so-called unforeseen circumstances. And here, every country is improvising. For instance, Polish authorities are considering how to stockpile water. Meanwhile, Lithuanian supermarkets received a list of essential goods that must be kept in large quantities in their warehouses. Interestingly, in the event of communication problems, the stores are expected to operate 24/7.
