“There are a lot of people, about 15 thousand. There are no Ukrainian flags. Mostly they hold the red banners of the “Ukrainian Front”; many have St. George ribbons. This is definitely not a party extras. I've never seen such enthusiasm. People continue to arrive,” the agency’s interlocutor said.

When asked by a journalist how Kharkov assesses Viktor Yanukovych’s capitulation in Kyiv, Dolgov replied: “The mood is such that we will not surrender Kharkov and will defeat Bandera.”
