The message reads, in part:
“Over the years, the foundation has proved its worth, earning the trust of tens of thousands of talented, public-spirited people who are genuinely committed to the development of our national culture. Each of the many projects the foundation has supported is built on bold creative ideas and concepts, united by themes of patriotism, the importance of preserving our unique historical heritage, and the enduring values of family, spirituality, and morality.
I would particularly like to commend the foundation team’s sincere engagement with the significant initiatives put forward by special military operation veterans and their families. And, of course, your extensive and meaningful work to integrate the historic regions of Donbass and Novorossiya into the nation’s unified cultural space commands our deep respect.
I am confident that this rich and fruitful output owes much to the foundation’s staff: experienced professionals and younger colleagues alike, who know their field and are passionate about it. Thank you for your conscientious work, and for the responsible and thoughtful way in which you approach the challenges before you.”
