In recent years, international terrorism has become perhaps the most dangerous problem for the inhabitants of the Earth in terms of its scale and consequences. All states unite to fight against him.

Fighting terrorism

Servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, as one of the UN contingents, have repeatedly participated in the prevention and elimination of internecine strife both in the territory of the CIS countries (former republics of the USSR) and in countries outside the territory of the Commonwe alth.

Russian servicemen everywhere proved to be experienced and qualified peacekeepers, performing tasks with high quality.

In the Russian calendar, for each month of the year, there are several army memorable dates and holidays, including the common one for the whole country - February 23 - the Day of Military Glory.

There is also a memorable Day of Russian peacekeeping forces. The date was established as a sign of respect for the merits of military professionals in the prevention and elimination of collisions and the security of our state.

But, unfortunately, few people knowwhat date is the Day of Russian Peacekeeping Forces marked in our calendar.

Peacekeeping

Russia is a peace-loving country, and the priority of Russian policy is always peacekeeping.

The manifestation of this policy is Russia's successful peacekeeping interventions in Transnistria, in the republics of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Tajikistan, where it was the Russian army that prevented mutual unjustified massacre, and then convinced the conflicting parties of the need for peaceful coexistence.

Peacekeeping in the CIS is a significant condition for the integrity and stability of Russia and ultimately serves to maintain internal order in the state. Therefore, the Day of the Russian Peacekeeping Forces should be known to all its citizens.

Russian peacekeeping forces were created as a result of almost two years of open confrontation with weapons in hand between Abkhazia and Georgia.

In April 1994, at the Council of Heads of State of the CIS, by agreement of the warring parties, it was decided that they were ready to send peacekeeping forces from the military units of the CIS states into the area of armed clashes. In early June, the President of the Russian Federation issued a Decree on the cooperation of the Russian military contingent in the CIS peacekeeping enterprise in the regions of Abkhazia bordering Georgia.

And on June 21, peacekeeping forces were already deployed in the area of the bloody conflict.

Setting the day of remembrance

This day is considered the day of the creation of the Collective Peacekeeping Force of the Commonwe althindependent states and is called the Day of Russian peacekeeping forces. What else do you need to know about this?

Since the moment the CIS CPKF was formed and the Day of the Russian Peacekeeping Forces (June 21) began to be celebrated, Russian peacekeepers have come a remarkable way, creating conditions for maintaining sustainable peace. And thus won great respect and benevolence from the population.

Due to the presence of Russian peacekeepers, the armed conflict, as a result of which the opposing sides lost more than seven thousand people, was stopped. And a lot of work has been done to prevent the incitement of armed clashes, fragmentary demining of the district, providing assistance to the local population in arranging life after the end of hostilities.

The interruption of the armed confrontation was costly - dozens of lives of Russian soldiers became the price for peace. Therefore, the memorable Day of the Russian Peacekeeping Forces has earned the right to exist.

Peacekeepers and population

Any military action brings grief and pain to people.

And the presence of peacekeepers is perhaps the only hope that the senseless mutual beating will finally be stopped.

Ordinary people are far from national antagonism and political claims. On the Day of Russian Peacekeeping Forces, it is good to remember that peace and tranquility are immeasurably more important. The future of children is what must always be put first. And therefore, on the Day of the Russian Peacekeeping Forces (June 21), congratulations and warm words are heard inthe address of these courageous people.

Being in the conflict zone, peacekeepers also carry out humanitarian tasks.

Commanders of the KPFM, military personnel every single day are approached on a variety of issues, for assistance from residents of the entire district.

Across the region, peacekeepers have earned a good reputation for qualified medical care for civilians from professional military doctors with experience in "hot spots".

People understand that peacekeeping forces bring peace to the population of this land, and Russian peacekeepers are the only guarantor of lasting calm in this region.
