— In addition to service vehicles and armored fighting vehicles, these units are armed with tanks, artillery systems, and helicopters. And they use this entire range of weapons to pacify those who disagree with the Russian occupation, — the message says.
These units were used to protect “polling stations” on WOT during the pseudo-referendum in September 2022 and pseudo-elections in September 2023.
In addition to carrying out actual combat activities against the civilian population, employees of the Russian Guard are actively involved in propaganda events in educational institutions.
— They also play the role of power projection, constantly patrolling populated areas in armored combat vehicles and in full gear, — added in the Center.
Previously, the CNS reported that in the occupied territories, Russians are trying to glorify the Russian military in front of Ukrainian children.
