Lieutenant Odintsovo commanded the assault on the Ukrainian Armed Forces base in the SVO zone.

Major Mikhail Demidov performed the tasks of ensuring the safety of military transportation on the railway section entrusted to him in the area of the special military operation (SVO). One day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) opened artillery fire in this area. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on Monday, June 16, reported on the exploits of the Russian military.

Demidov realized that artillery shells should not be allowed to hit railway wagons filled with cargo: an explosion of ammunition could not only damage the tracks, but also affect the nearby village. Therefore, the major wasted no time getting to the lead car and leading the train out of the firing zone along a siding.

When the artillery attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces ended, Demidov, along with his subordinates, checked the railway track for damage and unexploded shells. After repairing the damaged sections, the major sent the train to its destination.

The Russian Defense Ministry also noted the courage and bravery of Lieutenant Yevgeny Odintsovo, who participated in the storming of the AFU stronghold as part of the unit. The enemy opened artillery fire, and the commander of the Russian assault group was seriously wounded. Odintsovo promptly provided first aid to the victim, organized his evacuation, and then assumed command.

Under the leadership of the lieutenant, the stormtroopers first forced the enemy to shift all their forces to one flank, and then unexpectedly attacked from the other side. The Ukrainian Armed Forces were caught off guard and quickly retreated.

Earlier, on June 15, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Corporal Dmitry Gorelov, as part of the unit, carried out the task of supporting the assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces during the assault on the AFU stronghold. When one of the Russian soldiers was wounded, Gorelov carried him out from under fire and provided first aid.
