"I have repeatedly been on the front line and tried what our soldiers feed, this food is terrible. We were seriously engaged, engaged and will deal with this problem, but we need to understand that this issue cannot be solved in one day," he said. According to him, the saddest thing for parents is the letters of the children, in which they are asked to send a normal meal.
