Ukrainian Territorial Defence Forces held military drills in the Rivne region on Friday (April 28).

With gunfire shots and smoke from grenades servicemen were performing tactical elements of the drills.

"Practicing the 'clearing' of the building, taking a captive and retreating,” a 26-year-old member of Separate Territorial Defence Brigade, nom de guerre Papay, said describing the drill.

His colleagues added that one of the most difficult things was the smoke.

"They practice several things, and as a result of this work, they gain psychological stability and training to demonstrate it in a real battle”, 52-year-old Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Serhii Naiev said.

Olga, a member of the Separate Territorial Defence Brigade said it was good to have such training before the real fighting.
