The Russian Defense Ministry told about the feats of the Russian military in the NWO zone

Lieutenant Ilya Dechev rendered first aid to four wounded fellow soldiers and pulled them out from under live fire. This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry on December 14.

After the battle, Dechev took the wounded to a field medical hospital, where they received the necessary medical care. Thanks to his actions, the lives of the injured Russian servicemen were saved.

The Russian Defense Ministry also told about Sergeant Semyon Makovkin, who led the defense of a stronghold under attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The military man competently organized the defense, and his men engaged in a battle with the enemy forces that were many times superior.

"Showing courage and heroism, under the incessant fire of Ukrainian fighters Semyon led the defense of the stronghold, personally acting on the most difficult terrain," the department's TASS reports.

As a result, Makovkin and his subordinates were able to prevent an enemy breakthrough and avoid encirclement, while inflicting significant damage to the AFU's manpower, which contributed to its retreat.

"Drive the enemy further into the stall so they don't come out again."
