The word “confrontation” was forgotten completely in the relations between Cossacks from Odessa and former Afghanistan soldiers from Moscow. Lasting friendship connects them. This friendship can be characterized only by mutual understanding, mutual support and the sense of reliable strong support.

This has been confirmed for another time at the Consulate of the Russian fe4deration in Odessa. The meeting was arranged by Consul General Aleksandr Grachev.

They met as warrior-brothers, understanding each other, practically from the hint, because they had passed through the school of courage. Of course, it is necessary today to do everything possible so that their combat mates had good conditions of living, for which they had given out their health. Aleksandr A;eksandruk told the guests from Moscow about building houses in the Primorsk area, a part of which was going to be given to the soldiers of Afghanistan.
