Recruiting centers throughout the country. The Ministry of Defense reports on the opening of more than three dozen such centers. Representatives of the brigades are also campaigning to join the ranks of the Civilian Armed Forces. For example, in the Kirovohrad region, fighters of the 65th brigade visit the cities of the region with recruiting campaigns. They talk about combat experience, demonstrate weapons, equipment and military vehicles. They also teach how to fly fpv drones. More about recruiting in Olena Brynza's story.
Fighters of the 65th Brigade teach everyone who wants to pilot a drone. They do it during a recruiting campaign in Novgorodka. And they also demonstrate the weapons and equipment of their unit. But they talk about combat experience.
“Gnome”, a fighter of the 65th OMB of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces:
In the army, everything is focused on speed: because of that, training for speed, working for speed, moving for speed, eating for speed speed, sleep for speed, everything for speed.
Thirty-five-year-old military man on pseudo “Turbo” in civilian life – a construction worker. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, he stood up to protect his family and country. Believes: this is what every man should do. And keep yourself in good physical shape.
“Turbo”, a fighter of the 65th OMB of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces:
In order to be resilient, the most important thing is endurance, because it is a long way to go to the positions, it is 5 km, 7 km, and you you don't just walk, you walk under fpv drones, under fire, you carry a load. The more you take, the better.
The fighters are currently organizing mobile recruiting meetings in cities and towns of the Kirovohrad Region. They call on men of mobilization age not to wait for summons, but to join their brigade.
Oleksandr Kobeletskyi, a soldier of the 65th OMB of the Armed Forces of Ukraine:
The history of our brigade: we were born in 2022 in April in Lviv, we were created here, we left because it was very difficult at all borders, we were immediately sent to the Belarusian border, we went to Volyn, from Volyn we went to Rivne Oblast, from Rivne Oblast we went to Zhytomyr Oblast, and then we were transferred to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, there we unloaded and entered the Orihiv direction. At that moment, we all left, no one waited for the summons, no one waited for the TCC to come, we all left.
During such events, the soldiers also treat the locals to delicious Cossack porridge. And they, in turn, leave words of support and gratitude.
Dear defenders, we believe in you! Glory to the Heroes! Thank you!
Soldiers of the 65th Brigade plan to conduct recruiting campaigns in other regions as well.
