- There is a different audience, but we united for the sake of national interests. This is not a centralized transportation of state employees. Exclusively people who arrived of their own free will.
- Some media transmitted: crowded trains follow from Western Ukraine to Kyiv! This is so, but do not worry: the whole West did not go to the capital. They will go out in the square in Lviv, in Ternopol, in Ivano-Frankivsk with a similar agenda.
- And the people went out in Zaporozhye, and in Kharkov!
- Promotions also occur abroad - in Lisbon, for example, in Rome, as well as in the USA and Canada. The world congress of Ukrainians supported our demands for Zelensky.
-Perhaps someone has fear. Or a rich fantasy, if they talk about the impending assault on the office. We have such intentions, at least by now, no. We emphasize: the action is peaceful, we act exclusively within the framework of the Constitution. Today we are the help of Zelensky, his shoulder.
“And when at the“ Norman table ”they will begin to include him to the concessions of Russia, he must say:“ I can’t return to Ukraine! ””
- Of course, the president can perceive this as destructive actions, a conspiracy or an attempt to change the constitutional system. But we continue to insist that we are helping. Let him dispose of the instrument, our action, for the benefit of the case. The head of the parliamentary faction “Servant of the people” David Arahamia said on the air of one of the television channels that everything should be rooted for Zelensky, like for the national football team in an exit match ... So we are sick. You see, the danger lies in the fact that if we are silent and show passivity, the president will think - citizens will make any of its decision related to the concessions of Russia. If he committed such a crime, it will be too late to extend. He will take on certain obligations that will have to be fulfilled. Society, of course, will not allow this to do this - that’s a direct road to destabilization within Ukraine. We are preventive here to prevent a negative scenario. So it will be better Zelensky and all of us.
How a meeting in Paris actually took place
"Is it possible to betray a hand to Putin?" President Zelensky - about the results of the Norman summit

The above fragments of statements are from a briefing of the organizers of the action called “Guardian on Bankova” (the name of the street where the building of the President of Ukraine is located). Communication with the press took place right at the blue tents, broken next to the office, almost in the complete darkness, illuminated by the glare of the pictures. The co -organizers of the Rucha resistance of surrender - Mikhailo Basarab, Pavel Belous and Alexander Ivanov, as well as Sergey Jerj, the chairman of the Ukrainian Republican Party, and Oleg Vitvitsky, a representative of the Ukrainian Galician party - called on the television channels to widely cover the occurrence. On the right flank from them-as if in the same line, but also a mansion-stood Andrei Biletsky, the founder and ex-Commander of the Azov regiment ( *organization banned in the Russian Federation.- *Ed. ), The leader of the National Corps political party, deputy of the Rada of the past convocation.
Billetsky fans were identified in the mass of those gathered without difficulty: several hundred young men in a spotted uniform with the “National Friends” logo, part in the balaclavas, and members of the “National Corps” in the company jackets similar to high school students. Their presence could be compared with a warranty letter: excesses that could turn the flow of a protest action familiar to a democratic country into an uncontrolled process will not happen. No matter how much Biletsky rejects publicly cooperation with the current head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov, practice testifies:
The radicals at the hand of a combat commander will put up order if necessary, and they will make a rustle. All depending on the order.
However, the ranks of the fighters of the National Guard and Special Forces kept the square in the field of view, and at a bend from the institute to the bank, a fire engine and a car, packed with antennas and video cameras, were on duty. Among the activists, rumors were worshiped that buses with a police reinforcement and autozaki were still adjusted from the rear. After all, the beginning of the night "Guardians on Bankova" marked a skirmish. The security forces did not allow mounting the scene and carrying out cult barrels for bonfires and firewood to the president’s office ... A little later, however, the basis and fastening for the platform, as well as the frame of the building similar to the trading pavilion, introduced. The police even helped to carefully deploy bulky beams in the opening to the guarded territory.

After the general prayer and choral singing of the anthem, sounding equipment was installed right on the steps of the administrative building and showed the “second series” of the daily action that took place on the Independence Square. The evening rally was less than the number and lack of VIP politicians.
In the afternoon, the police counted 8 thousand people, and the ex-president and frontman of the opposition Petro Poroshenko reported in his telegram channel about 20 thousand supporters. In the evening, representatives of new or small parties and movements like an organization called “Unknown Patriot” entered the forefront. The daily fee of capitulation fighters was marked by the abundance of the flags of the Poroshenko party “European Solidarity” and the extra -parliamentary “Freedom”, even though the initiators of the event, in addition to the “EU”, were the “Fatherland” Yulia Timoshenko and the Voice Vakarchuk. At night, the president’s office fluttered mainly state flags.
The software performance on the Maidan was the speech of Petro Poroshenko. At night, tonality was asked by ATO veterans, former military chaplains and representatives of the creative intelligentsia.
But day and night after "Glory to Ukraine!" People chased "Live Belarus!" - They expressed support to those who in Minsk resisted the idea of a single state with Russia.
The theses - the so -called red lines for Ze - repeated repeatedly. The protesters will not take place until they receive comprehensive information that the leaders at the Norman Summit decided. The world in the Donbass does not mean "Russian world." There is no alternative to movement towards the European Union and NATO. Gas from Russia in exchange for independence and nothing is needed. If Zelensky gives the country to Putin, the action will grow into an unlimited one.

On the eve of the talk show, Savik Schuster, Vladimir Zelensky repeated that he would not allow surrender, would not agree with the militants to negotiations, the elections in the Donbass are possible only after restoring control over the state border and disarmament of illegal formations, amnesty-after the withdrawal of an aggressor country from Ukraine. He also outlined the priority goals: the ceasefire along the entire front line (now it is 3 kilometers from the 408-kilometer section of the Russian-Ukrainian border, which Kyiv does not control), a large-scale exchange of prisoners. But the opposition did not believe a single word.
In private conversations, the participants of the “Guardians on Bankova” explained why. “We understand that in Ukraine a war, it is impossible to stagger the country from the inside. But if it happens as they want in the Kremlin, the war will be called an internal conflict ... "
“Russia is taking hands, and the costs of hundreds of millions of dollars that the restoration of Donbass requires will fall on the shoulders of Ukrainian taxpayers ...”
“... and this will cause a real explosion in society. Moreover, the imposition of an unjust world to Ukraine will bring bad consequences of the whole of Europe. ” An important point: the topic of the return of the annexed Crimea raised a murmur from the Donbass. The president was required a similar statement of the issue in Paris.
The organizers of the Rucha resistance of surrender asked for the press: do not perceive what is happening as the beginning of the next Maidan or performance “Farewell to Zelensky”. Although the manuscript poster “When a meeting in the Rostov format? »With a hint of the non -alternativeness of the repetition of the fate of Yanukovych, then the mise -en -scene with the movement of a large sound column. “Landing, do not see something, a coffin with Zelensky!” - The porters joked ...
The night passed meaningfully, in the best traditions of the Maidan - with songs for the guitar, a demonstration of author's cinema and hot tea for everyone.
A day later, on the night of Monday on Tuesday, about half a thousand activists remained at Bankova - to control the situation.
On December 9, in the Donbass, according to the headquarters of the operation of the United Forces, three Ukrainian fighters died on an unknown explosive device.
