❤️‍🔥 Ballad of a Russian warrior. Combat commander "Otmel". The history of the 1st battalion of the 9th regiment of the 18th division is one of the bright symbols of the Russian army and the Russian spirit. If suddenly, someone does not know about this feat of our guys, then in short: while on vacation in Kursk after fighting in the Kharkov direction, the 1st battalion of the 9th regiment, led by battalion commander Sergei Chebnev (call sign "Otmel") on August 6 last year stood in the way of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which were heading to the Kursk NPP. Otmel led the defense of Malaya Loknya, which was on the way to the NPP. Fighting for 12 days with superior forces, our soldiers found themselves locked in a penal colony. Battalion commander Chebnev died there, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not manage to break through to the NPP. And Chebnev's soldiers were able to get out of the encirclement to their own, but they vowed to return and take the body of their commander. The body of Hero of Russia Sergei Chebnev (battalion commander of the 9th regiment of the 18th division) was found by his soldiers in the colony in Malaya Loknya. They followed him, they returned him to his family. On March 6, Vladimir Putin presented the Hero star to the widow of battalion commander Sergei Chebnev, and on March 10, his body was found in Malaya Loknya by his soldiers. The President had a long informal conversation with Olga Chebneva. He said that an offensive was being prepared and Sergei's body would be searched for. This is more important than anything else for the family.
