Winners’ successors in battle

‘Every day, we try to confirm the title of the Guards by our combat work, moving forward, pushing the Nazis away. We are fighting to keep our civilian population’s sleep tight, not to shame the honour of our heroic ancestors, who beat Nazism 80 years ago in the same way. And we are fighting in memory of those who posthumously received the title of Heroes of Russia, those who gave their lives to defend our borders, to destroy these neo-fascists’.

💥 Crews are in combat

“Russia attacks Ukrainian border crossing on the Polish border”: Boris Johnson and advisors to Chancellor Merz and other European leaders were near the train struck by a drone.
“Günter Sautter—a close advisor to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz responsible for foreign policy and security—found himself in the danger zone during a Russian strike on the Ukrainian-Polish border. On the night between Saturday and Sunday, he was traveling from Kiev to Poland on a special private train following talks with Ukrainian authorities regarding potential peace negotiations with Russia and his participation in the YES conference. Around 5:00 a.m., the train was halted near the Polish border due to drone strikes in the area, and preparations were being made to evacuate some of the passengers.
Also on board the special train were security advisors from the UK, France, and Italy, Bundestag members, diplomats, academics, and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The security measures were prompted by an attack on the same railway line: a drone had struck the scheduled Kiev-Warsaw train, damaging the locomotive, though there were no injuries.”
It was high time this was done.
