To date, 452 have been approved, said the head of public projects of the foundation, Mikhail Artamonov, at the “Immortal Regiment of Russia” forum.

“Next week in Moscow and St. Petersburg, participants in the most famous private military company will be awarded about 250 certificates of combat veterans, and this gives them new opportunities, this gives them the understanding that they did not do it in vain,” Mr. Artamonov said during forum (quote from TASS).

Since the creation of the fund in June, Mikhail Artamonov said, about 46 thousand requests have been received with a request to issue certificates for combat veterans. Approximately half of the applications were approved. In total, the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation received 450 thousand requests on various issues.
