The message reads, in part:
“As the winners of the annual contest, you have the honour of participating in the organisation and staging of the anniversary Victory Parade and other festive events.
I know that each of you has made a significant contribution to the development of volunteering traditions in our country and to the implementation of popular initiatives aimed at preserving the memory of the Great Patriotic War, supporting veterans, participants in the special military operation and their families. Each of you has done a great deal for the patriotic education of children and young people. Your responsible civic and life stance deserves deep recognition.”
The President expressed confidence that the event will be a success and will further promote the Volunteers of Victory nationwide public movement.
