Union Prime Minister Mahn Winn Khine Thann stated the following during the Cabinet meeting of the National Unity Government held on February 14:’
“It is necessary to consolidate and strengthen the National Unity Government through more integrated actions, and I would also strongly encourage the government to make greater efforts to collaborate with all of the revolution’s leading groups and organisations. Although the federal journey cannot be said to be near, it is certainly not far away.”

2. NUG’s Ministry of Defence is inviting members of the general public to serve as air scouts
On February 16, the Ministry of Defence announced that members of the general public are being invited to serve as air scouts as follows:
“The Ministry of Defence invites members of the general public who can serve as air scouts in order to be able to provide early warning and protection against the air strikes of the terrorist military junta. The air scouts are necessary to routinely monitor the military’s air force bases, airports, and heliports, and report their activities and air traffic along the routes in order to know the air activities of the terrorist military in real time and take precautions. Therefore, responsible citizens who want to act as air scouts to protect the lives of the people through the strength of the people are encouraged to contact the telegram channel organised by the Ministry of Defence and send information.”
In a February interview, Defense Minister U Yee Mon stated that those loyal to the junta have only two options to choose from, as follows:
“Those who have remained loyal to the military council until today, in my opinion, have only two options. One option is to give their lives to protect the military group until the entire terrorist military group is eliminated; the next option is: will they cooperate with the people in time, stand by the people in time, and serve the revolution? I think that they are left with only these two choices.”
