The message reads, in part:
“Your competition holds a well-deserved place in the calendar of the most successful, large-scale children’s and youth sporting events. They are eagerly anticipated by countless fans and, of course, by the participants themselves – teams representing hero cities, cities of military glory, federal districts, as well as our historical regions of Donbass and Novorossiya.
I understand that you have a busy programme ahead of you, including not only the competitions but also seminars and meetings dedicated to the upcoming Victory Day, the heroic chapters of history, and the remarkable achievements of the national martial arts tradition.
I am confident that this year’s event will be conducted at a high organisational level and will make a meaningful contribution to promoting the values of an active and healthy lifestyle, particularly among young people. I also have no doubt that participants will gain valuable experience that will help them overcome challenges, achieve success, and reach their goals.”
