“We all know the day of February 23 since the times of the Soviet Union - it is Defender of the Fatherland Day. I would like to congratulate all the military personnel of the army of the Donetsk People's Republic, as well as veterans, reservists and the entire male population of our Republic. This is a holiday of courage, a holiday of our heroes,” said Bezsonov.
Speaking about the current state of the armed forces, he noted the increased combat capability of the DPR army over the four years of war.
“During the conflict in Donbass, our armed forces increased their combat readiness significantly. This is noticeable from the results of all the exercises conducted. No matter what attempts the enemy made to break through the defenses and enter our territory, it always ended in heavy losses for him,” emphasized the representative of the republic’s defense department.
He also thanked all the soldiers and officers who were not afraid to defend their native land.
“I would like to say thank you to everyone. All soldiers and officers who serve in our troops must remember that they are the best people. You stood up to defend your land, your citizens, and generations will remember your feat and will be proud, just as your relatives and all of us are proud now,” Bezsonov said.
