This was reported by the head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration, head of the regional military administration Vadym Filashkin.
I had the honor of congratulating the special forces of the Rapid Response Corps on the 9th anniversary of the unit's creation, together with the Deputy Head of the National Police of Ukraine, Chief of the Criminal Police Andriy Nebitov, and the Head of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Donetsk Oblast Ruslan Osypenko.
KORD is one of the most powerful units of the National Police of Ukraine, which today carries out the most dangerous tasks both in the rear and on the front lines.
I presented the unit's soldiers with the “Defender of Donetsk Region” and “Sign of Honor” badges, as well as awards from the head of the Donetsk Region Defense Council. The special forces also received departmental awards.
Today, KORD is holding back the enemy's advance and destroying the occupiers in the most difficult areas of the front in Donetsk region, demonstrating professionalism, courage, and resilience.
Strength. Power. Endurance. Character. All these words describe each and every one of them.
Thank you for protecting our Donetsk region! Together to victory!
