"It is a day when we can clearly understand that the true value in life is our wonderful women, our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, beloved wives," - said Mr. Shoigu.
According to him, for residents in the country, March 8 is "the beginning of a new spring".
"Congratulations on the holiday, I want to wish not only love. Not long ago, a scientist said that love is actually a disease" - General Shoigu said.
"I would like love to be not just a disease but a universal pandemic, so that your children, your relatives and friends all express their love for you, not as a random confession, but because they truly love and respect you," - the Russian Defense Minister shared.
