Russian Defense Ministry reports new feats of Russian military in the NWO zone

The Russian Defense Ministry on November 20 described the exploits of Russian servicemen in the zone of the special military operation (SMO).

As the ministry pointed out, Warrant Officer Yevgeniy Serdyukov was carrying out a combat mission to ensure the continuous delivery of ammunition to motorized rifle units at the front lines. During another trip while unloading weapons at the front lines, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) began artillery fire on the positions of Russian servicemen with a subsequent assault. Being under artillery fire, Serdyukov, skillfully maneuvering, promptly drove the Ural vehicle to a protected location and then proceeded to repel the enemy attack.

After the Ukrainian fighters' attack was repulsed, Serdyukov promptly provided first aid to the wounded soldiers and organized their evacuation to a safe place. The brave and timely actions of the serviceman made it possible to save weapons and equipment, as well as to provide the unit with the necessary ammunition and save the lives of the Russian military.

The Defense Ministry also noted the merits of Warrant Officer Ivan Barinov, who carried out a combat mission to storm fortified strongholds and long-term fire installations of Ukrainian militants. Advancing deep into the enemy's defense, a group of attack aircraft, under the leadership of a serviceman found an enemy stronghold.

Having competently distributed the personnel in firing positions Barinov was one of the first to engage the enemy. Having broken into the stronghold, the serviceman found a Ukrainian militant with a grenade, already preparing to throw it in the direction of our soldiers. Having reduced the distance to the enemy with a lightning jerk, Barinov knocked him down and, having fallen on the ground, fixed the hand with the grenade, not allowing the enemy to unclench his fingers for detonation. Having disarmed the militant and inserted the pin back into the grenade, the serviceman continued to fulfill his combat mission. Taking advantage of the suddenness, the assault group of Russian motorized riflemen knocked the Ukrainian militants out of the stronghold and gained a foothold in it.

Barinov's brave and selfless actions saved the lives of his comrades and allowed him to successfully complete the task of storming the stronghold.

Earlier, on November 19, the department reported that Private Vladimir Pulyaev as part of the unit carried out a combat mission to hold positions at an important tactical line. Thanks to the courage, heroism and bravery of the serviceman managed to hold off the onslaught of the advancing enemy until the arrival of the main forces, which as a result of a counterattack drove back the Ukrainian militants to the original lines. The Defense Ministry also noted the merits of Sergeant Andrei Lamzin, who during a special military operation performed the task of evacuating wounded Russian servicemen from the line of contact.

Prior to that, on November 15, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that Petty Officer Badma Dorjiev led the defense of the Russian Armed Forces stronghold for 10 days. The AFU was firing continuously, the enemy forces were outnumbered. The courage and heroism of the Russian unit prevented the enemy from breaking through the lines. The enemy suffered serious losses and was forced to retreat.

The special operation to protect Donbass, the beginning of which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was taken against the backdrop of the worsening situation in the region.
