The International Kremlin Charity Cadet Ball was held in the Russian capital on December, 16 in support of the Special Military Operation. Cadet students and other guests from more than ten countries have gathered in Moscow, TASS reports. 

About 1,500 students of Suvorov and Nakhimov schools, schools with cadet classes, patriotic clubs and social institutions from 84 regions of Russia took part in the event. 

In addition, Moscow hosts delegations from the UAE, Syria, Sri Lanka, Qatar, Bolivia and other countries. An extensive cultural itinerary, featuring guided excursions, tours of Moscow's museums, and a special visit to the "Russia" exhibition at VDNKh is organized for guests.

Yulia Kirpichnikova, the project's leader, highlighted that the international cadet ball embodies the principles of "friendship rooted in cultural and national traditions" along with universal values. This year's event takes on a special significance as it is held in support of a specific operation, recognizing that many cadets' fathers are serving in the SVO region. The students have sent heartfelt letters to Russian soldiers.

Since its inception in 2016, the Cadet Ball has been a recurring spectacle in the Russian capital, organized in collaboration with key entities such as the Russian Presidential Administration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense of Russia, and various other ministries and departments.
