The head of the Khabarovsk region praised Commander Efremov of the "Tiger" for being an initiative-driven and attentive warrior.

…- Hello, Dmitry Viktorovich, you see what sad news it is, the Vice-Governor of Primorye, Sergey Efremov, has passed away.

- Yes, it’s very sad news.

- Did you know the commander of the "Tiger" well?

- I certainly knew him. He was a man. When it was necessary to defend the country, he led the volunteer unit "Tiger" and went to the front.

- How do you remember Sergey Efremov?

- He was very proactive. And until the very end, he helped not only Primorye but also the Khabarovsk region.

Sergey tried to recruit people from other territories into the "Tiger". And people were eager to join him.

Efremov was a worthy man, very worthy.

- So your Khabarovsk residents also worked with him in the "Tiger"?

- Yes, Khabarovsk residents were also in the "Tiger".

- How did they speak of their commander?

- With great respect.

They say he was a very sensitive person, who paid close attention to problems not only during military actions but also to the personal issues of people. I hope that now his family will receive the same level of attention. A great loss...

- And I can't help but ask how you feel about regional leaders taking such an active part in the special military operation, going to the site. I mean Kozhemyako, yourself, and other governors and their deputies?

- In the coming days, I will also go to where recovery efforts are underway after the end of hostilities. I will be visiting the territories until the end of the week.

And Kozhemyako - yes, he’s doing a great job. He continuously supports both the military and local residents.

This is necessary; these are our people. Our task is to be with them, understand all their problems, and visit every temporary accommodation point on foot...

And, of course, to see how our soldiers are equipped and to help in any way the region can.

And, naturally, the region is represented there by its leader. Not just the governor, but also deputies and ministers. Therefore, I have great respect for those who demonstrate themselves as men and real defenders of the Fatherland.

We will continue to support them.

- So you are going there, to the SVO zone, am I right?

- Yes, yes, absolutely correct.

- How many times will this be for you?

- I haven’t counted, many times.

- Well, take care of yourself and stay safe.

- Thank you. Hugging you, good luck.
