MOSCOW, June 21. /tass/. Russian President Vladimir Putin called courage, integrity and perseverance the main qualities that modern officers should possess.
"Today our army and navy need to develop and solve combat tasks. This imposes special requirements on the officer corps," he said at a meeting with graduates of military universities. Putin drew attention to the fact that in the near future graduates will head military units and administrative army structures. "A huge responsibility will fall on your shoulders, you will need full dedication, energy, integrity and perseverance, courage, determination and willingness to lead your comrades," the President stressed.
"It is important to always remember that respect in military collectives is won not only by commanding skills, but also by personal example, caring for subordinates. The officer's authority is simply unthinkable without it," the head of state noted. According to him, the cohesion, coherence, unity of the fighters and their ability to win are achieved by the commander's hard work "with every fighter or sailor." "This is especially important in a combat situation," Putin drew attention.
The President recalled the words of Commander Alexander Suvorov that "the life and valor of an officer is in victory." "Your duty is to guard the rule of law, protect constitutional and public order, protect the rights and interests of people, fight terrorism and extremism, crime and corruption and, of course, help in solving the tasks of a special military operation," the head of state said.
The President cited as an example that investigators, police officers, intelligence officers identify and stop "crimes of neo-Nazis and punishers", restore law and order in new regions of Russia. Putin expressed confidence that graduates, as well as servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, will successfully solve the tasks assigned to them "and always worthily bear the title of a Russian officer."
The Head of State wished all graduates of 2023 good health, success in service, well-being and "all the best to teachers and mentors." "Russia is proud of you, Russia hopes for you," Putin summed up.
