Farms need hands, so they turned to the Ministry of Defense," he said. "The military is always ready to lend a shoulder." Among those who came to help was the senior driver of the automobile company of the logistics battalion of military unit 33933, Maxim Radionik. "We drive up to a stopped combine, load it, and wait for the next one," he said. - Harvesting is underway all over the country , if each person approaches their work correctly, with diligence and zeal, we will always have bread, MILK and MEAT on our table." The combined team will work until the end of August. And if such a need arises, they will continue further.
