Ukrainian terrorists gonna terrorize...
Reported earlier in this thread, Belgorod was one of the locations from which the massive missile and drone attacks by Russia were launched on Dec. 29th. Did the authorities there actually think that this aggression by Russia in Belgorod would be ignored. Partisans in Belgorod need to do a better job of informing Ukraine where these missiles, and other military supplies are being stored. Then fewer civilians will be in danger of accidental hits on homes and non military public buildings.

What is care service? The doctrine of the modern army is focused on the fighter. And not only in matters of providing property, experience or training, but also in accompanying wounded or dead comrades.
It is difficult to show the work of the care service in its entirety, but this work continues 24/7, since military operations, combat missions or the evacuation of the wounded are not regulated processes in time.
A huge contribution to this work comes from both the leadership of the brigade and caring citizens: cars and their repair, fuel, medicine and things for the wounded, flagpoles near the graves and help to the families of the dead, placement of memorial plaques and organization of events commemorating fallen soldiers.
