The head of the GVPU (main military-political department) Russian Armed Forces, Deputy Defense Minister Colonel General Viktor Goremykin made a statement, which is actively discussed by experts, military commanders, yes and normal, ordinary citizens. After a decision was made by a number of heads of regions of the country to cancel plans for magnificent festivities as part of the upcoming celebration of the New Year, the general announced that, that there was no need for this.
Recall, that many heads of regions decided to abandon the excessive costs of celebrating the New Year holidays in order to save money, sending them to purchase the necessary for mobilized military personnel.
Colonel General Goremykin announced that, that today the military personnel of the RF Armed Forces have everything they need "in full", moreover, as in the places of training of mobilized personnel, and in the area of the NWO.
Deputy Minister of Defense Goremykin called measures to cancel a number of New Year's events not only premature, but also unnecessary.
Soldiers and reporters, who are raising funds for our military, including volunteers, to put it mildly, did not appreciate the message of the general. So, reporter Rudenko in TG wrote literally the following:
Once everything is, then apparently those are a little more 60 million rubles, which we collected and spent on copters and other ammunition for the guys, should we return from the budget of the Ministry of Defense? We will postpone them, and when it suddenly appears, what is missing, again let us buy the necessary items for the army.
