Relatives of the victims carried their portraits, many held posters, including those demanding the return of prisoners. The march participants chanted the traditional “Glory to Ukraine!”, “Glory to the nation - death to the enemies!”, “Ukraine is above all!” as well as obscene chants about Putin and Novorossiya (participating priests also chanted these slogans).
There was also a chant from the Euromaidan era - “Get out the gang!”, although it was addressed to the current president, Petro Poroshenko. Some of those standing on the sides held corresponding slogans with a portrait of Petro Poroshenko - “Get Parasha out of the house, he stinks!”, “Where is deoligarchization, deoffshorization?”, “He promised to sell the business - he sold Ukraine!”.
The general mood of the march participants was expressed by the writer Roman Koval, who gave a speech.
“Unfortunately, in times of danger, on the eve of a possible full-scale offensive, songs about peaceful skies are heard in Ukraine. Ukraine is preparing for peace. Cossack and Haidamak songs and songs about the UPA disappeared from the airwaves. Instead of militarizing the consciousness, mobilizing the people to fight, psychologically preparing for war, they entertain the people, instill in them the idea that everything will work out, that it cannot be that Russia will attack us. Taras Silenko’s song “There is a people’s war, reckoning, punishment is underway.” Anyone who calls for peace during war is a fool or a traitor. Russia will not attack us only in one case - when it knows that the entire Ukrainian people will rise up to fight, that the resistance will be crazy, that the threshold of casualties among the Russian occupiers will be such that this could cause an explosion of discontent in Russia,” he said.
The song mentioned by the writer “It’s the day of the People’s War!” to the music of the famous Soviet song “Get up, huge country!” performed by the author himself, People's Artist of Ukraine Taras Silenko.
The procession ended at Independence Square with a minute of silence.
