Representatives of Dumenko's structure "served" a moleben and a memorial litia near the Cossack cross in the Square of Fighters for Ukraine's Independence, and also laid flowers and lit lamps. Together with Viktor Bed, clerics of the eparchy Vasyl Osadchuk, Viktor Orlovsky and Vasyl Isakov took part in the "service."

After the prayer part ended, the organizers held a rally. Speakers included Viktor Bed, leaders of local nationalist organizations and the rector of the Augustin Voloshin Carpathian University.
