The Kiev regime is a terrorist regime. It is subject to destruction, in another way - it is impossible to stop, "he wrote in Telegram.

Vladlen Tatarsky, according to Pushilin, "managed to both fight and contribute to the status of a military officer."

"We drew up documents to present Vladlen to the award - the medal "For the Liberation of Mariupol". Unfortunately, she did not have time to give out during her lifetime... Blessed memory to the military. Deep condolences to the family and friends," the head of the republic concluded.
