The president stated in his message that the unification of mobile special forces units under common control has become an important milestone in the development of the Russian Army.
Putin said this step significantly increased the combat capabilities and allowed to solve tasks to protect our citizens and Russia’s sovereignty.
The Russian president underscored that the Armed Forces are made up of highly trained and combat-experienced military personnel who continue the heroic traditions of the veterans of the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) and the Russian special forces.
