President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “Every year, we receive the Peace Light of Bethlehem from Ukraine’s scout organizations, and today we continued this tradition. It is an important symbol of goodness and unity, one that carries special meaning now. From here, the light will be passed on to our defenders, to hospitals, schools, churches, and emergency responders.
“I am grateful to the entire scouting community for their service and for supporting our people both here in Ukraine and abroad.
“My gratitude also goes to the National Organization of the Scouts of Ukraine, Plast – National Scout Organization of Ukraine, and the Association of Ukrainian Guides.”
