Mobilized will learn knife fighting: why it is necessary.

Based on the Operational Command 'North', a unified knife fighting training system for the mobilized is beginning its work. This is reported by 'Glavkom' referring to a post by the Operational Command 'North' on Facebook.

According to instructors and training officers, knife fighting is an important component of the soldier's physical training and moral-psychological resilience. During knife fighting training, one can learn how to act in various conditions, such as trenches, bunkers, urban areas, and respond skillfully to danger.

Courses in knife fighting will be implemented as part of tactical and fire training. These courses may be added to general military training.

In the Chernihiv region, classes and a championship in knife fighting among instructors of the Operational Command 'North' took place, named 'Nation of the Unbreakable'. Twelve units of 'North' participated in the competition. The top three individuals are considered to be two instructors from the training center and one soldier from the communications regiment.

These competitions are the final stage of training for knife fighting instructors, who will further train mobilized cadets during BZVP, the military reported.

'Glavkom' previously reported that in the occupied territories, mobilization is being used as a means of ethnic cleansing: Russians are actively involving Ukrainian schoolchildren in military accounting. Such forced conscription is used to eliminate the Ukrainian population.

A man from the Khmelnytskyi region was previously sentenced to three years in prison for evading mobilization, despite receiving five summons.
