It is reported that combat training of deputies took place on the initiative of the head of the People's Council Vladimir Degtyarenko at one of the military training grounds; a total of 21 deputies took part in the training.
“Some deputies took part in hostilities, and some did not even serve in the army. Therefore, to fill this gap, there was an agreement with the People’s Militia,” said one of the deputies, Vitaly Morozov.
“Today is our fourth day here. During this time, we underwent training sessions in tactical training, engineering training, combat engineering and combined arms,” he added.
Morozov clarified that during the training the deputies mastered the skills of shooting a pistol, a machine gun, a heavy machine gun, and an anti-aircraft gun.
“As we see, our people’s representatives are completely ready and glad that they were taken to this training ground,” said Andrey Marochko, official speaker of the LPR People’s Militia.
“They (deputies) master new military skills and remember the skills they received in the ranks of the Soviet Army, the army of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and those fighters who participated in the liberation of our Republic back in 2014 replenish their knowledge,” Marochko explained.
“The classes are held as usual, fully according to the program, the deputies are provided with everything necessary to conduct the classes,” he emphasized.
“It hasn’t happened for 30 years. Slightly, of course, the shape is not the same. Everything is fine, only one complaint: the food is very filling - you won’t lose weight. I think that every man should go through this, and those who went through it should remember it, because at any moment men must be ready to stand up for the defense of the Motherland,” noted another Luhansk deputy Yuriy Yurov.
The People's Militia reported that such gatherings of local deputies will continue to be held as planned. The defense department is also considering options for holding similar meetings with civil servants and other employees of ministries and departments of the LPR.
