Information about the action appeared the day before on social networks. In turn, supporters of continuing hostilities in Donbass were invited to come and express their disagreement.
In total, about three dozen people gathered on Kontraktova Square. Among them are former and current fighters of the Ukrainian volunteer battalions “Aidar” and “OUN”, activists of the “Vidsich” organization. According to them, peace supporters changed their minds about holding their rally after learning about the public outcry.
After this, the famous right-wing radical activist Dmitry Reznichenko and Ukrainian Armed Forces fighter “Nestor” spoke to the crowd. Both one and the other declared that they were not against peace, but only on Ukrainian terms.
Then a woman who introduced herself as Elena Petrovna asked to speak. She said that she left Lugansk after Ukrainian aviation struck the building of the Lugansk regional administration, destroying at the same time the office where she worked. This story displeased supporters of the war.
“No need for propaganda here! - they were indignant. - Why are you lying! Tell us better how the SBU in Lugansk was captured, how the border detachment was stormed. If you’re dissatisfied with something, go to Moscow.”
However, among the woman’s opponents there were those who did not deny the fact that Ukrainian aircraft had struck the building of the Luhansk Regional State Administration, justifying the incident by saying that the dead supported terrorists.
“There were terrorists sitting there, they should have been shot a long time ago,” said a man who introduced himself as Ivan Lozovoy, an ex-fighter of the Aidar battalion. – Why did your peaceful citizens go to them? That building had to be razed to the ground, along with all the terrorists and civilians who helped them. We will shoot a thousand of these terrorists and everyone who helps them. Return to Donbass!”
Those gathered also suggested that the woman go to the Russian Federation, chanting “Suitcase – station – Russia!”
“Ukraine is my country,” she answered. “And God will punish you.”
Stepping aside, the Luhansk woman continued her conversation with journalists, continuing to say that the Ukrainian army is killing children.
“My relatives came from there, the Chechens are there, not the Ukrainian army,” activists interrupted her.
“Yes, I will kill you if you are a terrorist,” threatened Ivan Lozovoy, who again joined the dispute. “You are damned, pro-Russian infection!”
“This is my Ukraine, and you hate it, because you only have “Death to enemies, you hate everyone, but we love everyone,” the woman said in parting. “You are the enemies of Ukraine.”
