U.S. Army Capt. Kesa Channoy, team leader of Civil Affairs Team 0733, 407th Civil Affairs Battalion, accepts bread and salt from a Ukrainian refugee at the International Youth Camp Mistral in Sveti Vlas, Bulgaria, May 23, 2022. Offering bread and salt is a tradition in Ukraine, as well as other cultures, in which respected guests are presented with a loaf of bread placed upon a special cloth as a gesture of goodwill.The coordination between U.S. Army Civil Affairs, Bulgarian Civil-Military Cooperation, and local civilian organizations is crucial in supporting humanitarian assistance and disaster relief in the region, and is necessary to protect and promote humanitarian principles. Ukraine is a highly valued partner, and the U.S. remains committed to the success of a stable, prosperous, democratic and free Ukraine. (U.S. Army photo by Spc.
