Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to prepare a decree awarding the title of Hero of Russia to 21-year-old Sergei Yarashev, who alone held positions for 68 days near the settlement of Grishino in the Red Army direction. This was announced by presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov.

According to Peskov, the decree will be signed in the near future.

The head of the DPR Denis Pushilin at a meeting with Vladimir Putin told about a serviceman from Samara. Yarashev alone held positions for 68 days. Ammunition and food were delivered to him by drones. Despite the most difficult conditions, the fighter withstood and retained his position. Then he was evacuated.
