Today is a significant event in the history of the Russian armed forces - and especially for our region. By order of the President, the 35th Army received the honorable name "Guards". This is the direct merit of everyone - both officers and privates. I congratulated the staff on this holiday. The title was awarded to our army for mass heroism, courage, perseverance and courage in military operations for the defense of the homeland. From the beginning, the 35th Army participates in a special military operation in the most difficult sectors. Meter by meter, the army men bring victory closer in the face of serious enemy resistance. The battle banner of the 35th Army now has a St. George ribbon - an insignia of the Guards rank. He was joined by the deputy commander of the Eastern Military District, Lieutenant General Roman Garkov, and the acting commander of the 35th Guards Army, Rinat Oshav. I'm sure there are many more victories ahead. For our part, we will do everything to support military personnel both on the front and in the rear. We are proud of you! Thank you for your service to your country.
