“We must also remember those who died on the battlefields in Afghanistan, in the Caucasus, fighting terrorism, in Syria and, of course, those who died now on the territory of Ukraine.
Their portraits will also be in the ranks of the Immortal Regiment.
These are the defenders of the Fatherland ... and we, of course, will carry their portraits now, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to Kudryakov, refugees in the city will also take part in the action.
The organizers of the "Immortal Regiment" had previously invited the relatives of the participants of the Great Patriotic War, living in countries where this action is prohibited, to take part in the procession, sending photos of their loved ones to volunteers.
