Today I visited the servicemen who were injured during the liquidation of mass riots in Ust-Kamenogorsk. The junior sergeant of the second platoon of controllers of the second rifle company of the Ust-Kamenogorsk military unit received a chemical burn of the respiratory tract and is now in the hospital. He has a large family - five children - and yet, the fighter, without hesitation, stood up to protect the civilian population from provocateurs who attacked the security forces and called for pogroms and arson. He gave gifts to the junior sergeant's family, thanked them for their selfless service to the Motherland and courage shown in the current situation. The commander of the National. the guard handed the soldier a badge of military distinction - a speckled vest.
I also visited a policeman who received a shrapnel wound in the leg, covering a stun grenade and thereby protecting both his colleagues and civilians.
While being treated at his home, he expressed readiness to further protect his country and its citizens. The guys showed themselves to be real heroes. In our country, in particular in East Kazakhstan, in the fight against those who are trying to violate peace and harmony, soldiers show courage and receive high gratitude. They are true patriots, an example of high love for the Motherland.
On my own behalf and on behalf of the residents of the region, I express my great gratitude for the selfless work and conscientious work.
