Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus' said that he considers the plan, which provides for the possibility of participation of heroes of special combat operations in public administration training programs, to be timely and correct.

"I believe that the idea of uniting the heroes of special military operations as a whole and giving them the opportunity to participate in an important program for training state administration personnel is a very sound idea and a very timely initiative.
