In the Belgorod region, women may begin training in handling weapons

Governor of the Belgorod Region during a live broadcast during “In contact with” answered a question about the organization of self-defense training for women.

A local resident asked the head of the region about the participation of women in the militia: “God forbid, of course, it won’t be needed, but men are still being trained. And women? Here I am a mother, in which case the maximum that I can take for protection is a shovel. Here’s a first aid lesson. And why not give a lesson on how to assemble and charge the machine? Maybe train women for some kind of intelligence? I think there will be a lot of applicants.”

Mr. Gladkov called the appeal good and thanked the woman for the question: “Indeed, I hope that it will not come to this. Men are ready to defend their territory, land and homes. Perhaps you can give the opportunity to express themselves to women who want to. I will consult and come out with an offer.

In early December, Mr. Gladkov announced the formation of “several battalions” of volunteers. They “if necessary” will be able to “stand up for the defense of their home and their families,” said the head of the region. Also in the border areas of the Belgorod region are being built lines of defensive fortifications.
