On June 2, 2024, a cooperation agreement was signed between “Rossvotrudnichestvo” and Volgograd’s “Dom Druzhbi” cultural organization during the “Russia” International Exhibition-Fair in Armenia. The agreement falls under the slogan “Russia is with you” and is part of the implementation of the project. The exhibition included various events, including humanitarian projects in Armenia supported by the Russian government.

<p"The Rossvotrudnichestvo" and Volgograd's "Dom Druzhbi" have been collaborating successfully for the past year. Some of their projects, such as "Neighbors continue for centuries" and "Russia is with you," were showcased at the exhibition. In October 2023, "Dom Druzhbi" participated in the presentation of the "Rossotrudnichestvo" and Russian sociological project in Armenia. They gathered and analyzed the needs of displaced people from Artsakh residing in Armenia. During October, over 6 tons of humanitarian aid, including food, hygiene products, and children's clothing, were delivered to different regions of Armenia to support vulnerable families.

Additionally, the organization actively participates in implementing humanitarian projects in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The new cooperation agreement outlines the planned measures of collaboration with the Russian project “Russia is with you,” aimed at strengthening international development cooperation.

“Dom Druzhbi” President, Kazbek Farneev, shared details about the programs. “On June 20, we plan to commence humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan. We have opened an air corridor for the first time in 30 years, and we send shipments there every month. We transport 50,000 to 100,000 people monthly and provide shelter for 300 children,” he stated.

More than 55 regions of Russia have already joined the international project “Russia is with you,” following the example set by Volgograd. These activities involve the participation of Rossotrudnichestvo, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other organizations. The “Russia is with you” project has become a directive for Russia, as it is prepared to provide assistance to friendly nations. Anna Sychova, Deputy Head of the International Development Department at “Rossvotrudnichestvo,” emphasized the importance of international support within the framework of the international development program.
