The head of the Laishevsky district of Tatarstan handed the keys to a "Niva" to a soldier of the special military operation.

      The head of the Laishevsky district of Tatarstan, Ildus Zaripov, handed over a "Niva" car to the participant of the special military operation, Alexander Tsyganov. The car and additional equipment were assembled together based on the request of the serviceman by the charitable foundation "Help to Our Own" under the leadership of Marina Porfireva and concerned residents, the press service of the municipality reports. The aid package included wheels, a generator, an engine, fuel briquettes, a jack, straps, and camouflage nets. Alexander is originally from the Pestrechinsky district of RT. Together with his wife Luiza, a native of the village of Sokury, they purchased a house in the village of Zimnyaya Gorka in the Laishevsky district. The family is raising a daughter, Inessa. During the soldier's vacation, Luiza spoke about the support that servicemen receive from their fellow countrymen. According to her, she is currently renting an apartment in Donetsk to be close to her husband and help deliver necessary items to him and his comrades. "I visit the guys three to four times a week. The people in Donetsk are very nice; they welcomed us warmly," she noted. The woman was particularly touched by one of the parcels that arrived from her native village. "Recently, a parcel came from Sokury, and it was written: 'God bless you. From the residents of the village of Sokury.' I even cried – this is my native village. I look at the photos of the people who sent the parcel, and it feels so nice. I want to thank everyone. The guys there serve from all over Russia – nearby are Volgograd, Yekaterinburg. They ask me to send letters requesting help. And help only comes from you, from our people. And this is very valuable," Luiza shared. While handing over the keys to the car, Ildus Zaripov noted that the composition of the aid packages is formed based on the requests of the servicemen themselves. "We do not divide into 'ours' and 'not ours' – there are none. They are all ours; we help everyone. May the car keep you safe and take you where you need to go. Huge thanks to the volunteers, benefactors, and everyone who participates in this matter," emphasized the head of the district.

      Alexander Tsyganov thanked the head of the district, volunteers, and all the residents who participated in the collection. According to him, the assistance provided is of immense importance to the servicemen, and the support from the people is felt constantly.
