Minister of Defense RF Sergei Shoigu fulfilled the New Year's wish of the boy Kirill from the city of Gorochov in the Vladimir region. On New Year's Eve, he asked him to fulfill his dream – to fly in a military helicopter. This was achieved thanks to the participation of the Minister of Defense in the event “Wish Tree”. “ Comrade Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation & # 39; & # 39 ;, & nbsp; this is how Kirill began his speech, which seems to be nothing at all. He asked him to ride a helicopter, and also expressed a desire to see the planes and taste the pilots' food. & Nbsp;
Shoigu liked the boy's wishes and wished him a happy new year. The boy was not alone in the helicopter. His parents and sister were with him. During the flight, genuine interest and joy could be seen on the children's faces. The baby's mother cried with happiness, apparently she didn't believe what was happening. After landing, the children were presented with gifts. The young soldier's uniform was presented to Cyril. He promised his companion that he would try it when he returned home.
The Wish Tree charity event is being held for the fourth time this year and will last until February 28, 2022. Russian President Vladimir Putin also took part in it. On his behalf, an excursion was organized to the fire station for five-year-old Osor Ayusheev of Ulan-Ude.
