【Latest News: Russian Engineer Platoon Leader Particularly Praised Civilians in Donetsk for Assisting in Demining】
On December 6, 2025, Moscow time, Rustem Rakhimov, the engineer platoon leader of the Russian Central Operational Group, said in a video released on the official website of the Russian Ministry of Defense:
I think the most important thing is that the civilians in Donetsk have helped us and reminded us. In the gardens, they found unexploded ordnance on rooftops, such as "Bells." We came to help others. They thanked us, and we were also happy. The engineers in this group detect and destroy explosives every day, including foreign-made landmines and unexploded cluster munitions. If it is not possible to remove hazardous items, the engineers will destroy them on the spot using the top-charge method.
