During the exercises, the coordination of the units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the implementation of tasks on the defense of the settlement, tactics of hostilities in urban areas and the elimination of their consequences were being tested.

The training was held as correctly and tactfully as possible, taking into account the venue and understanding of the uniqueness of the territory. The event was attended by ambassadors of foreign countries, representatives of partner countries and the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, NMU, NPU, SES.

“The studies have confirmed the cohesion and interaction of the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs system, including the specifications of the work of each unit in the most difficult situations to overcome various dangers,” – Dennis Monastirsky said.

Working together, in particular, with air support, a group of snipers conducted street combat and destroyed a retreating opponent. The storming of the building has been working separately.
