Added: Today at 19:37

At night, our detachment attacked a checkpoint near the village. Seleznevka (about two kilometers east of Slavyansk - north of Semenovka. 1 armored personnel carrier was destroyed (burned out), another 1 armored personnel carrier was knocked out . Our losses are 1 volunteer.

Today at 17.30 we launched (as promised - artillery positions were located outside the city) combined strikes on two enemy groups in the village of Kombikormovy and at the BZS checkpoint. The main efforts were concentrated on the latter - 90 minutes of 82-mm and 25 Nona shells. There was a little hell there - a gas station exploded almost immediately... There were several detonations of ammunition (they had a lot of things there and one of the headquarters of the National Guard was located there). It seems that the Ukrainians have losses and, I hope, considerable ones. Moreover, we had never fired artillery at them during the day at this point and they felt very at ease there.

The artillery of the invincible Ukrainian army at Karachun (and not only there) missed the advance of the column and the shelling itself and was unable to fire a single shot until our batteries were removed from their positions. However, judging by where they belatedly started shooting, they didn’t find our firing position at all.

Over the course of 24 hours, another 80 volunteers came to us, including about 10 from Russia.

The Ukrainian information space was filled with panic messages about “Russian special forces” operating on the territory of Novorossiya, which occasionally replaced the victorious reports of the military leaders of the Ukrainian army about the “destruction” of another “GRU-FSB special forces group.”

Let’s try to figure out whether the authorities are again “hiding something” and whether there are new soldiers of the “unknown war” in Russia.

In general, the current leaders of Ukraine are far from the first to explain the reasons for military defeats by some external and insurmountable factors.

Let’s not look far for examples - the Wehrmacht generals in their memoirs also liked to attribute the reasons for the failures of the German army in the battles of Moscow and Stalingrad to the excessively cold Russian winters. True, they are bashfully silent about why the Wehrmacht units lost the battle on the Kursk Bulge, which took place in the summer of 1943. Apparently then the heat prevented them from defeating the Red Army in the decisive battle.

But let's return to modern Ukraine. The myth about “Russian special forces” allegedly taking part in Ukrainian events was born back in those days when the majority of Ukrainians were twirling their fingers at their temples in response to warnings that everything that was happening on the Maidan in Kyiv could easily result in a civil war, and harmless the actions of “their children,” which consisted of throwing Molotov cocktails at police units and setting car tires on fire, found understanding, sympathy and support from ordinary people who watched this bloody performance.

According to versions of a number of Ukrainian media, dated January-April 2014, Putinpersonallysent riot police units to Ukraine, who, dressed in the uniform of the special unit of the Ukrainian police “Berkut”, bludgeoned on the Maidan unfortunate hipsters, crackers and football fans. Ukrinform went even further in developing entertaining Ukrainian mythology and Russian participation in the suppression of the Maidan: according to their version, Putin himself (the President of Russia, if anyone doesn’t know, is a specially protected person), again itself personallyfencing with a rubber baton on the backfighters for cookies from Nordland and European integrationwhile using judo techniques.

Let's leave it to the conscience of Ukrainian journalists reliability this information. The President of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov answered them best: if the Chechen riot police really were in Kyiv, then the protesters from the Maidan would have cleaned up the garbage after themselves...

It would be something to laugh at, in a word, if Ukrainian creators of sensations did not go further and, after the start of the “Anti-Terrorist Operation” in the southeast of the country, did not fill the information space with messages about Russian special forces units allegedly taking an active part in hostilities on the territory of Novorossiya. Although specialists, at least somewhat familiar with the activities of special forces, such inflamed The news only evokes malicious grins; there are also those who completely take it on faith. Moreover, they are often voiced by persons related to Ukrainian law enforcement agencies. The US State Department has already begun to look for traces of the boots of Russian special forces on Ukrainian territory, and the Russian soldiers' mothers delayed the usual since the Chechen wars song with familiar motifs about “morgues littered with corpses” of unfortunate conscript soldiers.

So are Russian units involved in the events taking place in Ukraine or not? In order to understand this issue, you first need to understand what it is Special Forces and what he actually does. An officer of the Russian special forces, Andrei Vladimirovich Zagortsev, who is already familiar from the article about exposing the Ukrainian myth about “captured paratroopers,” will help us answer this question. After reading his stories based on real life, real, and not the mythical special forces, including its combat use, even a layman far from the army can easily come to the understanding that the combat operations carried out by the militias of Novorossiya have nothing in common with the tactics and practice of using special forces.

Themselves special forces in Russian law enforcement agencies there are several varieties, very different in their functionality and possible application. It is clear that police special forces as part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have the same tasks, units of the FSB TsSN have completely different ones, in the Ministry of Justice - third ones, and within the armed forces - fourth ones. In the early 90s, in the Russian law enforcement agencies there was a general enthusiasm for creating various kinds of “special forces”, which in fact often simply were not such, since the prefix “ specialist-” it was customary, for the sake of “coolness,” to be added to the name of almost any more or less prepared units. In the First Chechen War, special forces units of almost all Russian security forces were actually used. This was due, on the one hand, to the catastrophic shortage of personnel trained for combat operations in the armed forces and internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, on the other hand, the use of elite special forces in combined arms combat, for example, during the storming of Pervomaisky in January 1996, led to the fact that they when using “not according to the profile” of the main tasks and functions, but instead of ordinary army units, they suffered serious losses and never fully completed the assigned task.

So what do army special forces do and are the actions of the militia in southeast Ukraine similar to the actions of special forces?

Here we will talk only about special forces of the armed forces, since similar units in other structures, for example in the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, have tasks that are very far from actions against military units of a mock enemy, accordingly, their combat and operational training is “tailored” to the specific specifics of the tasks performed tasks - for example, for the detention of especially dangerous criminals. You can read about how special forces operate from the already mentioned Zagortsev: in the first Chechen company, his unit carried out highly specialized targeted tasks, mainly avoiding, if possible, clashes with large formations of militants. A special forces battle against a large enemy formation is rather a forced situation that occurs if, while performing its main task, the special forces encounter head-on enemy forces and cannot avoid open combat. In such situations, it is very likely that a small and lightly armed group of a special forces unit, having limited ammunition and maneuverability, due to the lack of vehicles and heavy weapons, will simply be destroyed - since hand-to-hand combat techniques, under-barrel grenade launchers and a small number of anti-tank weapons - It is practically useless to use against artillery, mortars or large numbers of enemy armored vehicles. Functionally, army special forces operate behind enemy lines, conducting reconnaissance, disabling military communications facilities, capturing headquarters, airfields, and destroying warehouses with weapons and ammunition. This does not represent any particular secret, since the actions of the army special forces have been repeatedly described by many authors who at different times were involved in its activities, starting from “Viktor” Rezun-Suvorov, beloved by the liberals, ending with excerpts from the functionality and tasks published on veteran websites that well illustrate the specifics use of special purpose units.

Nothing like deep raids, seizures of headquarters, targeted neutralization of representatives of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, large-scale destruction of transport infrastructure and communications in the rear of the forces conducting the “anti-terrorist operation”, according to the same Ukrainian media reports, was observed in the south-east of Ukraine during the hostilities. The militias fought not through guerrilla tactics and deep raids into enemy territory, but trying, whenever possible, to adhere to combined arms tactics and maneuverable defense - holding settlements and key transport infrastructure facilities. In principle, the combat tactics of the Novorossiya militia fit well into the “classic” actions of irregular paramilitary forces, whose members have military training received during compulsory military service. It had virtually no differences from the actions of rebels in the Transvaal during the Anglo-Boer War of the early 20th century, well described in the history of military art, or the relatively successful confrontation of the paramilitary forces of Dzhokhar Dudayev with units of the regular Russian army and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 1994-1996. It would seem that this has nothing to do with it FSB-GRU special forces, whose actions are widespread illuminated in the Ukrainian media?

And most likely, given that the current Ukrainian politicians and generals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine simply ashamed admit actual defeat , which was inflicted on them by the militia forces, which are staffed by ordinary Donetsk and Lugansk citizens who received military training back in Soviet times, or as part of the Ukrainian army in the 90s, when the armed forces of Ukraine were engaged not in politics and the sale of property, but in combat training. And write off the losses to presence third force, be it General Moroz or the mythical Russian special forces, which have already been destroyed several times by airsoft fans, is much easier and simpler than looking for answers to the questions of who is actually fighting and for whom in the South-East of Ukraine.

In conclusion, it is worth adding that as part of the New Russia militia, people of very different “origins” fought and are fighting. Among them there are also those who at different times served in special forces units, and not only Russian or Ukrainian.

For example, Nikola Perovic, a Serb by nationality, has been fighting in Novorossiya as a volunteer since June of this year. He actually served in the special forces. Just not Russian, but French. He served in Afghanistan and has military decorations. But for some reason, the Ukrainian media, based on this fact, are in no hurry to look for traces of the French special forces sent personally by Francois Hollande to the territory of Novorossiya.

It would be interesting to know, but in fact, Why?

When analyzing the participation in the Donbass conflict of Cossacks from Russia, who are not connected with the “Cossack National Guard” (KNG) of Ataman Nikolai Kozitsin, a number of significant problems arise.

In addition to the KMG and numerous formations of local Lugansk, less often Donetsk, Cossacks, Russian Cossack volunteers participated in the Donbass conflict en masse, but rarely acted as an independent military force. As a rule, purely Cossack formations were small in composition, and, to one degree or another, were integrated into larger formations of mixed composition. A large number of Russian Cossacks, arriving in the LDPR individually or in small groups, fought in non-Cossack formations. The status of the unit was not something fundamentally important.

It should be noted that Novorossiya is perceived by nationalist Cossacks as part of the “Cossack Prisud” - the primordial, “God-given” lands that need to be reunited with their native territories in Russia. But the “reunification” factor was not the main incentive to participate in hostilities. The main factor was religious and patriotic. The conflict in Donbass was perceived as a kind of “holy war” with the “forces of world Evil.”

Over the three years of hostilities, there has not been a single case of Russian Cossacks joining formations fighting on the Ukrainian side. At the same time, there are many examples when ethnic Russians - non-Cossacks, sometimes nationalists by conviction, fought for "Independence".

Despite the fact that in the 1990s some radical nationalist communities of the Don and Kuban maintained ties with Ukrainian nationalists, currently Ukraine as a state and as a certain historical and cultural space (it is) is perceived by all Russian Cossacks as an enemy.

The attempts of some Moscow “leaders of the free Cossacks” to promote a Western liberal approach to the Donbass war in terms of sympathy for the “Ukrainian brothers fighting the common Kremlin enemy” ended in complete failure.

It is no secret that some members of Cossack organizations and groups are opposed to the modern Russian government and fundamentally distance themselves from it and the events inspired by it. In particular, for this reason, many “free” Cossacks refused to participate in the operation to reunite Crimea with Russia.

There is no such negative motivation regarding the civil war in Ukraine, and the entire spectrum of “free” Cossacks actively took part in it. Many Cossacks had not previously advertised their participation in hostilities and kept it secret until the present day.

The ataman of the Don Cossack community in Moscow told the author in September 2014 about the reasons for such secrecy of Cossack volunteers: “The Russian authorities need Cossacks in Novorossiya only while the war is going on. In Russia, real warriors will certainly not be needed. It is unclear what they will do with them later. Maybe they will identify those who fought, register them, and then liquidate them. So it's better not to light up. In this war, only controlled Cossacks are needed. The fact that help from Russia goes specifically to Kozitsin, and not to the real Cossacks, is clear. Those at the top only need someone like Kozitsin, who can be controlled by anyone who pays.”

According to the narrator, the situation that arose in the spring-summer of 2014 when the ataman of the KMG Kozitsin was the “representative person” of the entire Cossacks caused at least extreme irritation among a significant part of it. A large number of Don Cossacks, fundamentally not wanting to serve in Kozitsin’s AMG, joined the detachment of Ataman Alexander Konkin (“Photon”) based in the city of Rovenki LPR. Many went to the “Ghost” brigade of Alexey Mozgovoy, the “Rapid Reaction Group” of commander Alexander Bednov, and various formations of the DPR army.

Since the beginning of the conflict on the territory of Novorossiya, Cossack volunteers from Russia have actively participated in it. At the very early stages of the conflict, their units, in particular the “Wolf Hundred of Terek Cossacks,” were one of the few units that had real combat capability.

Conventionally, the Cossacks from Crimea who fought, in particular under the leadership of Igor Strelkov, can also be considered Russian Cossacks in the Donbass. Many Crimean volunteers, as a rule, not Cossacks by origin, were members of local Cossack communities, who were organizationally included in the public Terek Cossack army in the spring of 2014.

When analyzing the Russian-Cossack formations themselves, it is necessary to note the following point. Cossack volunteers arrived in Novorossiya individually, less often in small, up to several dozen people, organized groups. The media voiced information about a special unit of Astrakhan Cossacks, from internal Cossack sources it is known about close-knit autonomous groups of Don, Kuban, Terek, Siberian, Ussuri and Ural Cossacks who fought in the LDPR.

The formation of a full-fledged unit of Cossacks, as a rule, took place already in the conflict zone. Combat coordination, screening out random elements - all this took some time. Often, for various reasons, the original Cossack group never became a full-fledged combat unit and disintegrated.

On October 18, 2014, a brief message appeared in the local media of Novorossiya about a clash in which the “First Company “Donbass Kosh” of the 2nd Cossack Battalion” participated. According to information from the Moscow Cossacks, the “Donbass Kosh” is an autonomous formation of Kuban Cossacks, created simultaneously with the “Wolf Hundred of Terek Cossacks” back in May 2014.

“Wolf Hundred of Terek Cossacks” is one of the most media-famous Russian-Cossack formations that acted in the Donbass as a cohesive autonomous unit.

According to some information, the Cossacks fought in two autonomous groups, the first in the DPR, the second in the LPR near the city of Shchastya.

The Wolf Hundred arrived in Donbass from Crimea presumably in April 2014, and actively participated in the battles of the initial period of the conflict. The first commander, Evgeny Ponomarev “Dingo,” died on August 28, 2014. In the fall, the unit became the “Cossack Rapid Reaction Unit” under the Prosecutor General’s Office of the DPR, and subsequently entered Russian territory.

It should be noted that various detachments and groups of Russian Cossacks in Novorossiya fought separately. There was no strong grassroots desire for consolidation and unification into large, but specifically Cossack units, although attempts were made to create, presumably on the basis of the “Wolf Hundred of Terek Cossacks,” a separate “Cossack regiment.”

Thus, on July 13, 2014, an appeal was posted on the Internet by the commander of the “Wolf Hundred of Terek Cossacks” Evgeniy Ponomarev “Dingo” and the “visual symbol” of the conflict in Novorossiya, Alexander Mozhaev “Babay”, with a call to join the newly formed “Cossack regiment”. According to information from members of Terek Cossack organizations, the regiment was supposed to be formed in Crimea. Terek and other volunteers were transported there, underwent training, and then moved to Novorossiya. However, the number of Cossacks who wanted to join this unit turned out to be insufficient to form a regiment-sized unit. There were also serious organizational problems with financing and material and technical equipment of the planned unit.

After the July publication of Ponomarev-Mozhaev’s call, the topic of creating a separate Cossack unit in the army of Novorossiya was not publicly announced until October 15, 2014, when one of the most authoritative military leaders of Novorossiya, the commander of the Prizrak brigade, Alexander Mozgov, announced the creation of a “Cossack” in his unit Ermak battalion." Such a battalion was created, but how “Cossack” it was and how many Cossacks from Russia were in it is unknown.

The creation of the “Cossack battalion “Ermak”” in the “Ghost” brigade was possibly dictated by the desire to gather under one’s command the Cossack military element scattered among the various formations and to create an “ethnic alternative” to Kozitsin’s AMG.

One of the reasons why small Russian Cossack detachments could not transform into large units should be attributed to the weakness or complete lack of their targeted financial and material supply base, which the KMG clearly had. The Cossacks from the Russian Federation did not have the direct “grassroots” support of the population, which was available from formations from local residents, for example, the large detachment of Ataman Konkin (“Photon”) from the city of Rovenki.

When analyzing the participation of Russian Cossacks in the Donbass conflict, one cannot ignore the topic of anti-Cossack statements by the leader of the armed resistance, Minister of Defense of the DPR Igor Strelkov (Girkin).

On June 6, 2014, a conflict widely publicized in the media occurred between the Cossack units defending the Krasnoliman direction of the DPR and, at that time, its military leader Igor Strelkov (Girkin). According to Igor Strelkov, the Cossacks of Ataman “Erema” showed cowardice and fled. When assessing the incident, Strelkov spoke extremely negatively, to the point of insults, about the Cossack units as such, saying, in particular: “Nothing has changed in more than 20 years in our “revived goatdom.” Costumed scum and marauders ruled the roost in it and continue to do so.”

On July 14, 2014, Igor Strelkov accused the Cossacks of the Babai detachment of disobeying orders and desertion. In addition to accusing specific individuals and units, the military leader of the DPR of that period gave a derogatory general description of the entire modern Cossacks: “They gave the honor of further defending Novorossiya to the local militias and those of their fellow volunteers who are guided by the concept of “military discipline” that is so hated by the modern “Cossacks.”

Subsequently, Igor Strelkov, in an interview on October 10, 2014, actually disavowed his previous harsh assessments and recognized the fighting qualities of the Cossacks: “You can rely on the Cossacks when they fight in the ranks of serious combat units. When the ataman is normal, then the Cossacks fight normally.”

The harsh, borderline insulting characteristics given to the Cossacks by Igor Strelkov, despite the obvious signs of an “emotional breakdown,” are still very typical of modern Russian professional soldiers. In the case of the July accusation of cowardice, as it later turned out, there was a misunderstanding that arose as a result of military confusion.

Despite the harsh assessments, Igor Strelkov continues to enjoy well-deserved respect and authority among the Russian-Cossack community. The Cossacks, in turn, have serious authority and respect among the population of the LDPR; Cossack units continue to serve as an integral part of the armed forces of the LDPR.

Statement by the head of the DPR Foreign Ministry about the lack of a proper OSCE response to the use of drones by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donbass

In November alone, 7 cases of the use of attack UAVs were recorded: 4 times in the Donetsk direction and 3 times in the Gorlovsky direction. At the same time, cases of the use of attack unmanned aerial vehicles against the civilian population of the Republic have increased significantly, and cases of injury to civilians as a result of precisely this use have already been recorded. The DPR UNM took appropriate measures to protect civilians and facilities, thanks to which it was possible to prevent the use and destroy 6 Ukrainian UAVs in the past month alone.

Moreover, members of the enemy armed formations recorded some of their illegal actions on video and published them on social networks and the media in the context of the so-called victories of the Ukrainian army. In their messages, members of the armed formations controlled by Kyiv convince that these are supposedly the positions of the people’s militia of the DPR, but the videos clearly demonstrate that Ukrainian UAVs destroyed civilian objects and residential buildings on the territory of the Republic.

We believe that such criminal violations of the requirements of the Minsk agreements on the ban on the use of military aircraft and UAVs on the part of Kyiv are largely a consequence of the lack of proper response from the OSCE SMM. We are confident that soon these and other illegal actions of the Ukrainian authorities and the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be given an appropriate assessment.

People will be able to easily accommodate themselves or, if necessary, live in one of the social facilities. To do this, they must contact the Territorial Commission of Cities and Districts,”- said the representative of the department.

It is worth noting that over the past week, 8 people were rescued by the Ministry of Emergency Situations, of which 2 people were rescued as a result of road accidents in the cities of Snezhnoye and Gorlovka.

Thus, on December 2, in the Central City district of Gorlovka, the driver of a car lost control and caused a side collision into a street lighting pole.

All victims were hospitalized in a medical institution in the city of Snezhnoye.

Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled the bridge near Stanitsa Luganskaya

According to the LPR representative office at the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire (JCCC), there were no casualties or injuries.

The shelling was conducted from the direction of the village of Stanitsa Luganskaya.

The LPR JCCC calls on the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to “provide an appropriate assessment of the gross violations by the Ukrainian side of the Framework Decision of the Tripartite Contact Group on the disengagement of forces and assets of September 21, 2016.”

“They have been on the front line for 9 days and they have nothing to eat” - a Ukrainian blogger spoke about the starving Ukrainian Armed Forces members

They have been on the front line for 9 days already and have nothing to eat, only leftovers from their predecessors. And everyone who speaks badly about the army, they are “agents of the Kremlin,” maybe it’s time to start talking about problems?” - Ukrainian blogger Mikhail Ukhman told how soldiers of the 34th battalion of the 57th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are starving at the front line in Donbass.

According to him, soldiers of the 34th battalion of the 57th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are in terrible conditions on the front line. Previously, the blogger published a post on Facebook on behalf of the officers, where he spoke in detail about the reduced norm.

Mikhail Ukhman said that the soldiers have been “on the front line” for 9 days, they have nothing to eat. They were not provided with rations, and even earlier the quota had been cut. At the same time, the blogger noted that everyone who criticizes the Ukrainian army is immediately called “agents of the Kremlin.” However, according to Ukhman, it is worth starting to talk about the problems because the situation has gone too far.

“Maybe it’s time to turn on the adequacy?” the blogger urges. He remembered how the General Staff promised to feed soldiers according to NATO standards and give them new Fords. According to Ukhman, only the National Guard soldiers in Kyiv receive all this. The rest have to survive by eating crumbs shared by volunteers. All that the 34th battalion now has are “remnants from its predecessors,” the blogger noted.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces used unknown ammunition in the Donbass

“New types of weapons have appeared. If earlier there was an 82nd mortar, a 120th mortar, an RPG-7, now shells are already arriving that we cannot identify,”- says a soldier of the LPR army.

According to the fighter, the ammunition is non-standard with aluminum submunitions.

On December 5, representatives of the Sevastopol Cossacks, among whom was Vladimir Drevetnyak, gathered at the Government building.

In January, Vladimir Grigorievich, along with other patriotic public figures, restored the monument to Kazarsky, desecrated by vandals

Then he and I, a former naval officer, captain of the third rank, and in civilian life a specialist in working with stone, a deputy of the municipality of the Gagarinsky district, met.

During the past year, almost no public event in Sevastopol takes place without Cossacks. Now we have brighter reasons for getting ready. Today the issue of the inclusion of the Cossacks (how many of them there will be, what kind of troops, what it will look like) is being decided on the Council of the Governor of Sevastopol for the Cossacks.

Namely, what troops do you belong to?

We have the Sevastopol special department (regiment) of the Terek Cossack army. The command - the ataman - of this army, which is located in Vladikavkaz, officially recognized us and brought us the banner of the Sevastopol special department of the Terek Cossack army. We have a seal, everything is as it should be.

I am the chieftain, at the same time the deputy for the rear of this regiment, plus the chieftain of the Gagarin hundred. (Hundreds are the battalions into which the regiment is divided). In total there are five district hundreds in Sevastopol. Our army is the largest and one of the most combative. In general, there are many different Cossack troops in Sevastopol. We have all gathered now and will decide our organizational issues: what departments there will be, who will occupy what positions and whether they will occupy them, and so on.

Will the question of helping Novorossiya be raised there?

Many people call me and talk about this. I will try to raise this issue. But in my personal opinion, while official representatives of the government, big government people in Russia at the official level, clearly should not take part in this today. Just as citizens, as private individuals, if they want, then yes.

Can you somehow explain this, give reasons?

Yes, definitely. Firstly, the most unpleasant thing is the attitude towards this situation in the world, the desire of the world community to influence Russia in this conflict. Therefore, I would not give another reason for now. As they say, the dog barks, the caravan moves on. We are doing our job. Russia's support in this matter is simply decisive. Without her, nothing would have happened. Therefore, it is better to do more and talk less about it, especially on camera. Everything will happen as usual.

Tell me, please, what kind of participation do the residents of Sevastopol, ordinary ordinary people, take in this?

It is difficult to overestimate him. Just imagine: sending just one person to a training camp costs 1,600 rubles. This is how much a bus ticket costs. And now we have two battalions sent there. Sevastopol residents support us with things, food, medicine, vehicles, fuel and, of course, money. And you need to top up your phone account and buy some accessories... This can only be done with cash. It's difficult. Not everyone believes that the money will go where it is needed. But the people of Sevastopol and people from mainland Russia, who trust me personally and my comrades, transfer money and help. Low bow to them. Without them, nothing would have happened, and so many Sevastopol residents would not have fought for a just cause.

Where should those who want to provide humanitarian assistance through your Department go?

It is best to get information from the Sevastopol forum:
Theme: "Help to New Russia (Zheleznyakov)."

A participant in the “Sevastopol Ritual”, who raised a lot of funds to help the fighting Novorossiya, Vitaly Kalfa, joins our conversation.

He believes that outreach efforts to provide humanitarian assistance should be more active. “How many people go online, and specifically to the Forum?” he asks. “A minority. And many want to help, but don’t know how.”

People need to be woken up, as was the case in March, on the eve of the referendum. After all, any family can provide all possible help. But for this, in my opinion, there must be a call from influential political forces. For example, such as the political council of the United Russia party, the Sevastopol branch of the ONF. How do you think?

Interested in social activist.

The Russian spring began in winter, even during the Anti-Maidan. And then the whole of Sevastopol - thanks to our Sevastopol Forum - began to organize various organizations: "Rubezh", Smooborona, DND and many others. - Vladimir Drevetnyak explains. - That is, this was not decided overnight, but Novorossiya happened quickly, and the Cossacks sometimes have to act spontaneously. Of our five battalions, including training ones, two are fighting in Novorossiya. This is quite a lot for our army. I believe that it is not we who should deal with appeals. The organization of assistance, including information, should probably be provided by those in whose competence this is. I'm used to being responsible only for my area of ​​work. You yourself can contact the United Russia political council. And the Cossacks did their job, and will do it. And in general, the whole of Russia is participating in helping Novorossiya, which gives great effect and significance.

At the end of our conversation, I asked Vladimir Grigorievich a rather frivolous question: “Do militias often use strong words?” :No more than in ordinary life. - He answered. - And you know what’s interesting? The guys from the Caucasus fighting for Novorossiya, of whom there are quite a lot there, do not swear at all. And they don't drink alcohol. In any case, I didn’t come across any drinkers.”

You could see how the Koshevoy’s eyes lit up the moment he started talking about specific people!

Caucasians are generally very interesting guys, desperate. I really liked the Chechens. Hot, brave. The people there generally be healthy. There are more than two hundred Sevastopol residents in our regiment. Of course, there are many Cossacks: Kuban, Rostov, Don. There are many volunteers from Samara, Chita, Yekaterinburg, and Transbaikalia... Our people are very motivated spiritually. We will not let the residents of Novorossiya either starve or freeze. We will all fight until victory, which I am convinced! - will be behind us.

After the meeting, we called Vladimir Grigorievich, and he said that he was very pleased with the results.

At the beginning of next week, our Cossacks are leaving for the front line again:

This is what is written under this photo on the Sevforum: “Before you are the commanders of guns, combat vehicles, artillery installations, rocket systems... I will keep a photo report of our movement to Novorossiya. Today in Sevastopol. No other outcome except the Victory of Russia, somehow I don’t remember. We will defeat Zheleznyakov too.”
