The dispatch of cargo has become a good tradition that we support thanks to the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region, the public organization 'Spiritual Heritage,' volunteers, and all caring people. Any message, any help for our soldiers is heartening. They feel that they are not alone, that we are all ready to work to support them. Let us pray that the Lord grants our warriors spiritual and physical strength, and blesses our soldiers to safely deliver and hand over the cargo," said Alexander Malafeev.
