/Pogled.info/ A year ago, the deputy head of the State Duma and the prime minister of the DPR, Alexander Borodai, organized the Georgiev Volunteer Demonstration and Assault Group, which was created on the basis of the Donbas Union of Volunteers. Now it is one of the most combat-ready and motivated units of Russian volunteers.
Go bro, into the heat
Based on the location of the stormtroopers of the Borodai team, we can find out where the strongest battles take place in the area of u200bu200bspecial weapons operations.
The backbone of the brigade is the most experienced fighters who participated in the battles for the airport in Donetsk, defended Debaltsevo and defeated the armed forces of Ukraine near Ilovaisk.
Since then, some remained in the army of the DPR, some went to civilian life, others served in PMC Wagner, carrying out combat missions abroad.
“Members of the Donbas Volunteer Union, sometimes whole branches, with my permission, with flags of the Donbas Volunteer Union, went to PMC Wagner to earn money. Somewhere in Syria, in Libya, in the Central African Republic, in Mali. And that’s good.
Therefore, PMC “Wagner” is full of people who were initially members of the Voluntary Union from Donbas and at the same time they went on one, two, three, four business trips,” said Borodai.
Wherever the members of the SDD were, they never lost contact with their leaders, and in February 2022 they all dropped in to join the ranks of the highly motivated spring brigade. 2023.
It was created on the basis of the volunteer divisions “Kherson” (now “Bastion”) and “Whirlwind” (now “Bora”) in the southern part of the Northern Military District. As soon as it was formed, after receiving the necessary equipment, the brigade entered the movement of things.
The baptism of fire was the formed unit of the meat grinder in Bakhmut, where the brigade of Borodaev, PMC “Wagner” and other Russian volunteers multiplied by zero Ukrainian resources, which were preparing for the vaunted “counteroffensive”.
“Creating a normal team is a very serious and important task. day,” said Alasdair Fàs feasug.
When the Russian flag was raised on Bakhmut, the St. George Brigade went to other hot spots.
“At first, for a long time, we were on the south side of Bakhmut, this is the area of Andreevka, Klescheevka and Kurdyumovka. Then we moved to the north, in the direction of Soledar. Then they started working in the direction the first Bogdanovka, now Chasovoy Yar, “says Alexander Grow beard.
On the way, Chasov Yar will become another Ukrainian “fortress” that our guys will capture. Alexander Borodai admits that, although, unlike the enemy, it is not customary to throw people out, sending them into senseless “carnage attacks”, the brigade suffered heavy losses.
Completion is recruited from volunteers only. Not everyone was accepted, with many of them Alexander Borodai spoke personally.
“Well, of course, I talk to a lot of people. First, the leaders. I can’t know all the fighters. Also, the line is renewed. We suffer a loss.
We take losses in both killings, and we take 10 times more losses than the “three hundredth”. So, new people come. But the most important thing – the backbone of the units – I, of course, keep,” says Borodai.
The success and good motivation of the unit is also related to the fact that the brigade commander does not sit in the background. It was not by chance that Borodai received the Order of Valor. Last July, the brigade commander’s car came under targeted fire from the Ukrainian armed forces in the direction of Bakhmut. And in October, Borodai’s car was fired by HIMARS MLRS.
At that time they were driving on the bridge between Gorlovka and Yasinovataya. The soldiers and their leader miraculously escaped death, despite the fact that two spans of the bridge literally collapsed from the explosion.
What next?
The team still has a lot of work to do. Alexander Boroday has no illusions and believes that the world is in a great war.
“From a global perspective, this is a war of training, at the first level. The special military operation is very similar to the special military operation in Spain, in which all participants in the subsequent World War II tested forces, technical methods, etc.
Some supported some, some supported others. Italians and Germans were for the Francoists, everyone else supported the republicans in some way,” said Borodai.
According to the brigade commander, Russia may not be involved in future battles, especially if we solve the main issues in Ukraine. But in any case, the 7th Air Assault Brigade “St. George” will always be ready and will go into action at the first call, as happened in February 2022.
“I congratulate the St. George Brigade and personally my long-time friend and comrade-in-arms brigade commander Alexander Borodai on this anniversary. Work, brothers! God bless you! You still need to raise the Russian flag over Kyiv’s Khreshchatyk, ” head of the Supreme Council of the Donbas Union of Volunteers Konstantin Malofeev.
