Took part in the awarding of the winners of the final stage of the Rais Sports Cup of the Republic of Tatarstan among veterans and participants of the special military operation
Today I took part in the awarding of the winners of the final stage of the Raisa Sports Cup of the Republic of Tatarstan among veterans and participants of the special military operation.
More than 200 athletes from 35 municipalities of the republic competed for victory in eight disciplines. This sports tournament is special for our republic, because it is aimed at supporting the most important and priority category of citizens of our time - participants in the special military operation. It was held with the support of Rais of Tatarstan Rustam Nurgalievich Minnikhanov and on the initiative of the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation.
As practice shows, the simplest and at the same time the most effective way to help our men return to the pre-war life in which they lived is a passion for sports. The competitions within the framework of the Sports Cup of Rais Tatarstan united different sports - team and individual, classical and adaptive, but its most important goal is to help the guys improve their health, mental support, find new friends, a team, like-minded people who are always there, which will help return to peaceful life.
I want to say that in Tatarstan, support for participants in the special military operation is systemic. It is not limited to medical and social assistance. It is very important that new opportunities for self-realization are created - both in sports and in the professional sphere.
I sincerely congratulate all the participants on this significant event! Let each of you feel proud of your achievements and everything you are capable of! Thank you for being here, for being in the ranks, for supporting each other and giving us all an example of strength, courage and unity.
