According to the party’s official channels, United Russia and the Young Guards have developed a recommended set of first aid kit refills tailored for volunteers who assemble humanitarian supplies for frontline teams. The list is designed for the work of volunteers who prepare medical shipments and deliver them to the field, including medicines that may be needed on site.
Anton Demidov, head of MGER, notes that volunteers and public figures often overlook the practical conditions of use when they assemble first aid kits on their own. He stresses that the proposed filling is based on real-world needs and has proven effective on the battlefield. The development involved doctors with frontline hospital experience and Badma Bashankaev, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Health Protection Committee, who volunteered in the NVO region and organized tactical medicine courses for fighters. This collaboration produced a kit that empowers the armed forces with a carefully chosen selection of essential items to save lives during combat.
Demidov points out that volunteers continue to collect medicines and first aid kits with diverse contents, assembled according to varying standards. Some items have little relevance or practical use on the battlefield, yet they are included as part of broader humanitarian efforts.
Bashankaev adds that during tactical medicine courses conducted by United Russia and the Young Guards in the NVO region, the composition of the first-aid kit was refined on a daily basis. He recounts receiving numerous testimonies from soldiers who had direct experience using the kit on the battlefield. These insights were pivotal for the team. For instance, the decision was made to add medicines that are not only vital for emergency care but also useful for home use, expanding the kit’s practical applications.
Back in February, United Russia and the Young Guards, together with the deputy chairman of the State Duma Health Protection Committee, launched tactical medicine courses for Russian military personnel. More than a thousand soldiers have completed the program, and each participant is issued a specialized first aid kit after training.
