The visit of the first delegation was the practical implementation of agreements reached last December. At that time, a trilateral cooperation agreement was signed in Donetsk between the Ekzekov Foundation, the Regional Branch of the DPR's "Movement of the First," represented by Denis Chernobai, and the Regional Council of "United Russia" party supporters, represented by DPR Hero and "Wild Division" commander Akhra Avidzba. The main goal of this union was to provide comprehensive support to children and young people in Donbas, as well as to strengthen educational and cultural ties between regions of Russia.

A rich cultural and educational program was prepared for the young guests. Within several days, they explored the main sights of St. Petersburg, visited the State Hermitage Museum, Planetarium No. 1, and the "Grand Maket Rossiya" Museum. They also took a tour of Kronstadt, where they saw the Naval Cathedral of St. Nicholas and Fort Constantine.

Particular attention was paid to the educational part of the trip. The children visited the History and Technology Museum of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, where they learned about the history of engineering and modern technology.

Accommodation and leisure activities for the children were organized at the "Grand Canyon" development site, where they also visited educational exhibitions, the "Bestiary" Museum, the "Vysotny Gorod" rope park, and a cinema. At a meeting with schoolchildren, Mussa Ekzekov emphasized that the project's main goal is to "show the rising generation of Donbas the diversity and boundless possibilities of our great country."

"St. Petersburg is a city of highest culture, advanced education, science, and creativity," Mussa Ekzekov emphasized. "We are ready to open new horizons and opportunities for you and to create exciting projects together. You are the future of Donbas and the future of Russia. We will do everything possible to ensure that our youth can fully implement their talents and look ahead with confidence."

As Mussa Ekzekov noted, this trip is only the beginning of a bigger program. New groups of schoolchildren will soon arrive in St. Petersburg, and other educational and cultural projects are planned.

"Since 2022, the St. Petersburg government has been implementing large-scale support programme for children from Mariupol, its twin city. During that time, thousands of children have spent their holidays in the Northern Capital. We continue this noble mission by organizing recreation for children from other cities and regions of Donbas," he said.
