I am confident that today's event will teach you to achieve team leadership as well, and will help you develop character.

Andrey Balanescu, Deputy Commander for Ideological Work of Military Unit 52500, Guards Major, emphasized that raising a patriot is a complex and multifaceted process that begins in early childhood and accompanies a person throughout their life. The Fatherland does not appear overnight, and to become a defender of the Motherland, one must prepare for it.
