Greetings to the participants, organisers and guests of the On the Wings International Adaptive Clothing Design Contest finals

June 18, 2025

Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants, organisers and guests of the On the Wings International Adaptive Clothing Design Contest finals.

The message reads, in part:

“Offering people with disabilities wider opportunities and enabling them to live with dignity while also fulfilling their creative potential is one of the key social policy priorities for our country.

Your contest is among the major and popular projects seeking to address this serious matter, which is extremely important. The contest participants and organisers engage in insightful expert-level debates on developments in the adaptive clothing sector and the rehabilitation industry, exchange experience and best practices, share ideas and solutions, and support CSR initiatives, as well as talented designers and engineers. On a special note, I must highlight that in 2025 you helped design new comfortable clothing for special military operation veterans. The Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation offered proactive support for this effort.

I am confident that the contest’s finals will take place in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and cooperation and will help promote international humanitarian collaboration.”
