"Today you work in almost all spheres of life in our society — health care, ecology, education — whatever it may be. But now, of course, I am addressing the Russian audience first, I would like to thank you especially for what you are doing to help our fighters who are on the front lines of the struggle for our country, for Russia. You are helping them directly on the front lines and their families in the rear, their mothers, fathers, their wives and their children — for all of this. And this is one of the most important tasks for us today. I bow to you", — the President said.
