Radio NUG
Union Minister of Defense of the National Unity Government (NUG), U Yee Mon, has called for continued participation in the PRF (People’s Revolution Force) program to further strengthen the much-needed mental and physical capacities of revolution fighters.
This message was conveyed in a video message sent by the Union Minister for the ceremony held to honor and present recognition gifts to those who successfully completed the "No Failure" program conducted from June 21 to July 31.
He stated:
“Since the inception of the PRF in 2022, until now—almost four years later—PRF personnel have been consistently delivering without failure. The Ministry of Defense would like to express special gratitude to all PRF members for their unwavering support.
It is critically important for PRF members to continue their support from the rear lines so that PDF comrades on the front lines can engage with peace of mind and determination. While PDF battalions and units were previously supported on an intermittent basis, starting from June this year, we have transitioned to providing support on a monthly basis.
Therefore, I would like to encourage everyone to continue their participation in the PRF program to sustain the vital mental and physical strength that our revolution fighters urgently need.”
