… – Oleg Nikolaevich (Kozhemyako, governor of Primorye), in our previous interview we promised to tell you more about “Tiger”. How are your fighters doing? When was the last time you contacted them? How are they fighting in the Kursk region?
– We are in contact almost every day. Our Far East battalion has been relocated to another location nearby.
– But there, in the Kursk region?
– Well, close by, on the border.
– We will not give any further details.
“And the boys quickly settled down, took up positions, gained a very strong foothold and immediately began to terrorize the enemy.
They acted, as always, in a professional manner. Nearby units entrusted the coordination of actions to the “Cubans”.
– Tell me, is your deputy, the commander of the “Tiger” there?
– Yes, the “Cuban” vice-governor is the commander there.
– We have already mentioned your last name.
– Yes, Sergei Efremov. This is his call sign…
– “Cuban.” By the way, what’s your call sign? I keep forgetting to ask.
– He had no call sign. (Oleg Kozhemyako traveled to the SVO zone 8 times. – AG)
– What does “Cuban” mean to you now?
– According to Sergei, the enemy did not expect such an attack.
The Ukronazis in our country began to identify all the places where people and equipment were crowded, to find out where the cell phone towers and transformers were. And they worked very selectively, setting up a surveillance system for conducting artillery fire.
Our “Tiger” is precisely the one who opposes all this.
Now our battalion has been replenished, as I said, with volunteers. That is, it is a combat unit that reliably maintains itself on our borders.
The boys send both videos and photos, and I post them periodically within the limits of reason and accessibility. (See here the videos sent by Kozhemyako last night. – AG)
As I have been informed, the “Tiger” has taken up combat positions and is not only serving, but is causing specific damage to the enemy, preventing them from carrying out any action in our direction.
– Tell me, are all your “Tigers”, well, fighters, healthy, all safe, all unharmed?
– Yes, at this stage all the guys are healthy, all safe and sound. Those who were already wounded (in the area of the Northern Military District – AG) are sent to hospitals.
And now our squadron, in full fighting spirit and fighting health.
Also, if we talk about staff, a complete game.
“Tiger” is equipped with the necessary equipment and weapons.
Fairly good!
– As I understand it, Kozhemyako’s soul yearns to go there all the time?
– Well, you know, to be honest, yes, it is broken. Of course, I will try to visit them after the forum (the IX Eastern Economic Forum will be held in Vladivostok from 3 to 6 September. – AG) I will definitely visit them. Because these are our guys whom we trained and saw off…
– I understood well in the previous interview that you added 200 volunteers to the Tigre battalion, which we talked about then.
– Yes. Immediately, as soon as the operation in Kursk began, our guys expressed their desire to go to the front again, even though they were on vacation…
– I mean, these are your soldiers who were shot.
– Certainly. Those who had already fought as part of the “Tiger”, who perhaps did not go there, but immediately signed, called the command, called us and immediately 120-130 people left here, from Primorye, to the front line. And then the guys who were from Moscow and Rostov began to arrive.
– How is your state of mind, your fighting spirit? What does “Cuban” say?
– The fighting atmosphere, as I have already confirmed, is excellent. Zapashny sent them greetings; like the “Tigers”, they sent greetings to Zapashny.
– Edgard Zapashny is a coach.
– Yeah.
– He also communicates with them.
– Yes… “Tiger”!
– Perhaps further details are not permitted?
– Certainly. They have gained a foothold and are now putting pressure on the neo-Nazis.
– How to translate “petrushat” from the Primorsky language?
– Well, they are hitting.
– Thank you very much, Oleg Nikolaevich. We are praying for your children.
– Yeah, let’s do it, okay.
