Solemnly and emotionally: in Belarus, soldiers-border guards took the military oath

Today, on November 14, on the perimeter of our country in the border service, new recruits solemnly pronounced the words of the Military Oath, confirming their readiness to honestly serve the Motherland. It's from sb.by.

The ceremony was attended by representatives of local authorities and clergy, as well as relatives and friends of recruits.

Konstantin Molostov, speaking to the participants of the solemn event, noted that all the necessary conditions have been created in the country to ensure border security: new units are being built, technical equipment is actively undergoing, service and living conditions of servicemen are being improved:

It is deeply symbolic that the ritual of taking the Military Oath takes place in the year of the 85th anniversary of the feat of border guards in the first battles of the Great Patriotic War. Usov, Kizhevatov, Sivachev, Lopatin, as well as thousands of heroes-border guards, will be moral guidelines in military affairs for those who are now becoming defenders of the Fatherland, the head of the border department stressed.

The new replenishment of the Lida border detachment was mainly made up of young people from Grodno, Gomel, Brest and Minsk regions. The selection was traditionally carried out taking into account the civil specialties that will be in demand in the upcoming official activities.

From the beginning of next week, the soldiers will continue training in the specialty “border service”, as well as training in physical, fire, tactical, medical and combat training. After successfully passing the exams at the freelance training point, recruits will go to border posts to protect the State Border of the Republic of Belarus.
