This was reported on November 6 by the Reuters news agency with reference to the presentation of the universal military training program.

It is noted that the new program will include a safety course, survival training, a tactical medicine course and hygiene classes in the online space. Education will be voluntary and accessible to all social categories of society — from schoolchildren to adults and the elderly.
