A volunteer in the special military operation: "I strive to set the right example for my child. The motherland must be defended."

      A group of volunteers set off for a training center for combat coordination before taking part in the special military operation. The dispatch of volunteers to their place of service was organized by the Coordination Center for the Support of Servicemen, the Mobilized and Their Families, operating at the House of National Unity.

      The main motive for taking part in the special military operation for a resident of Krasnoyarsk Krai was the desire to set a proper example for his six-year-old son.

      “My motive is patriotism. I strive to set the right example for my child. The Motherland must be defended. And I do not want to stand aside. My brother has already been serving in assault troops in the special military operation for a year and a half. He says they have an excellent commander and responsible comrades-in-arms. My grandfather, a participant in the Great Patriotic War, fought against the Nazis. I consider it my duty to complete what he started and to stand against manifestations of Nazism in Ukraine. Victory will surely be ours, because we are the most powerful and strongest country, and no one can compare with us!” the man said.

      Volunteers say they are leaving civilian professions and going to serve “for the ribbon,” feeling a responsibility to the country and aiming to support their own.

      “I decided to sign the contract after my stepfather went to the special operation. Now a close friend is serving there too. I also decided to contribute to defending the country’s interests. I plan to serve as a UAV operator because I know the equipment well. We are a strong and brave people; together we are invincible!” said a contract serviceman from Kemerovo Oblast.

      Another recruit worked as a videographer before signing the contract and studied psychology and foreign languages. He is confident his experience will be useful at the front.

      “In civilian life I often filmed with a quadcopter. I have good physical training and certain skills gained from freediving. I believe that ‘for the ribbon’ I will be able to apply my knowledge and help our army. I believe in our strength of spirit and unity. Victory will be ours!” emphasized a recruit from Penza Oblast.

      Recall that the state provides defenders of the Motherland with decent material support and helps their families. Also, those who sign a contract and go to the special military operation zone are issued certificates for the provision of 10 sotkas of land in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. The certificate can be used two years after its issuance.

      In addition, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast has a mechanism for concluding military social contracts, which additionally guarantee the contract serviceman’s family 10,000 rubles per month for each child, benefits for payment of housing and communal services, preschool service benefits and other types of support. Individual support for the servicemember’s family is also provided.

      Detailed information about contract service and issued equipment can be obtained at the volunteer recruitment center by phone: 8 800-10-17-017 or on the website: https://служунн.рф/.
