Putin was surprised by the request of the Hero of Russia to give his squad a T-90 tank instead of a vacation
Russian President Vladimir Putin was surprised by the act of the Hero of Russia, who asked for a T-90 tank for his crew. The head of state spoke about this at the awards ceremony for military personnel. A video from the event was published by journalist Pavel Zarubin.
Vladimir Putin presented the participants of the Russian special operation (SVO) in Ukraine with the Gold Star medals of the Hero of Russia on December 19. The ceremony took place at the National Defense Control Center on Frunzenskaya Embankment.
I didn’t ask for any money or a ticket. (…) The tank asked! And a reward for your commander. Simply amazing. Be sure to say hi to him
Putin named a quality characteristic only of the Russian army
During the ceremony, Putin named a quality characteristic only of the Russian army – not to forget about your comrades in arms, giving another example. The head of state spoke about the request of one of the soldiers to award his commander, while the military man did not know that the crew had already been nominated for awards.

“What is your most reliable comrade in arms (…). I didn’t know anything, but I didn’t forget about you, my comrades in arms. I don’t even know, it’s probably only typical for Russia,” the president said, calling the military man a real man.
The head of state also emphasized that Russian military personnel have to operate in a difficult combat situation, overcoming serious challenges. “But I know your mood, the mood of all our soldiers and commanders. And therefore I am confident: we will definitely achieve our goals, we will reliably protect our people, the sovereignty and security of the Motherland,” the president addressed the military.
The President noted the competent actions of the Russian military
As part of a conversation with participants in the ceremony for the Day of Heroes of the Fatherland, Vladimir Putin said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (RF Armed Forces) act competently during the SVO. He also noted that the West will never be able to crush Russia. “Nothing will work out for them. Never,” the president stated.
