Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants, organisers and guests of the National Youth Forum Yug Molodoy (Young South), which is taking place in Berdyansk.
The message reads, in part:
“This forum focuses on discussing urgent matters, including efforts to promote the comprehensive development in Donbass and Novorossiya, improving hometowns and villages, forging closer region-to-region ties, raising public awareness about the noble ideas of volunteering and community work, especially among young people, and promoting and perpetuating the traditions of mentorship and education. This means that everyone will find a topic to their liking and will have the opportunity to put forward their own ideas and projects for addressing these formidable objectives with a sense of responsibility during meetings with prominent political figures, experts, and civil society activists. And, of course, as we mark the Defender of the Fatherland Year and the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, priority attention will be given to preserving historical memory and ensuring that the younger generation benefits from patriotic education.
I am certain that the forum will be a success and will help young men and women grow on personal and professional levels while also shaping their mindset and civic spirit.”
