mironov who was the first to tell one of the first who shared his impressions of the holiday. let's listen. the mood is festive fighting, because on the eve of the day of protection homeland after the remarkable and very inspiring message of yesterday's presidents. we understand that justice is on our side and victory will be ours. and today i really want to congratulate, first of all, our defenders who liberate the people of ukraine on the territory of fraternal ukraine. but today the defenders are all family members in our wars who support them. a huge army of volunteers. the employees of the enterprise, first of all, the defense industry and today the place where he is luzhniki are the defenders of our motherland and defenders of the future of mankind. this is a big

holiday. this great event was met for the first time from all over big russia this year and the new russian regions are separate, it was the executive head who shared the special impression. lugansk people's republic leonid pasechnik on february 23, as part of the russian federation, today this is a very important holiday for us, this day of our respect for our heroes, our defenders, who, starting from 2014, have been defending our homeland from ukrainian nationalists since last february, defending our homeland from attacks of the collective west, our guys. they are in the present well done they deserve respect. and i consider this holiday. well, probably today one of the most important

holidays, uh, in our country. and as i already said , leaders of public opinion of politicians shared their opinions and impressions, but not only participants and veterans of the special military operation were present here today. for example, sergei lomov, who since 2014 has been defending the donbass of his homeland, who ended up during a special military operation. already seriously wounded and now undergoing rehabilitation in one of the moscow hospitals. and so he turned to the audience today. during this year, i wanted to say that each of us , uh, found a family not only by kindred blood, but found a family with a name. russian soldiers officers of the russian army.

we were also on the stage and addressed the audience here in luzhniki . there is a certain understanding of how our coal enterprises will develop, what approach we should take, and this is exactly what it is . today we discussed the issue of attracting investments. that is, those companies that are ready to take responsibility, which is ready-made management of the enterprise. and, of course, uh, stow money to save jobs. and, of course, to increase the profitability of these enterprises. and now, too, a systematic approach, then a verified approach, of course, uh,

allows us already, too, well, to look from certain perspectives. and , of course, the energy complex, ah, our uh, which generates energy from this side is distributive today, and a lot about the support of ah, fighters of their special military operation families and the day before, and in his message to the federal assembly of the president , a lot was said about this. it's in service. they immediately took a deputy of the state duma, that's the speech. the deputies, as representatives of their people, their voters, will now constantly work with our residents, who represent business, are defenders of the fatherland, and actually today, representatives of the higher school, who are now also very interested. that is, here is

the front. and as the president said, then the deep rear is all a subject today with from a legislative point of view. the crowning performances of the speakers were fighters who literally front-line. today we came here in order to also address our viewers. it was the real tank crew commander. in his speech, he drew the attention of all those present to the fact that working with russian equipment directly at the front guarantees the safety of personnel and never let the military down. and i want

to share my experience and say how much the survivability of the combat vehicle and its crew is already, for example, they were blown up by a mine, but we did not stop and continued. we returned to duty and we were again thrown from the copter by a cumulative projectile. the car caught fire, but we did not stop and returned to the repair base on our own, having covered 173 km. i want to say that defense is not only people, not only soldiers, fighters, but also iron armor. who have experienced a lot in their lives in a short period of 2014 and need support

and assistance, often medical, therefore , will soon be accepted. the decision will be arranged by a special uh zaporozhye region. we russian army is obliged to protect this people and these children. we are a strong army. we are a mighty army, but your support is important to us. we are together. we will win. the truth is behind us

, god is behind us and our families will protect our earth from the gray plague. about what you can talk a lot today , a lot has been said , there is really something to think about. yes, tatyana greetings, but the president’s speech was the culmination of this large-scale mitin concert, which is taking place just at this moment at the luzhniki stadium , the president congratulated on the coming day defender of the fatherland, like those people who
