“I have come to support joining the European Union. Also, I support the elimination of the visa regime (for Ukrainians to travel to EU countries). I have learned that today the parliament is to consider six draft laws regarding EU integration. That’s why I am here today.”

“I came to this meeting for Ukraine, its European integration. Friends told me there is a protest today in front of the parliament. Why today? I think something important is to be decided by the Rada today. I don’t know what exactly.”

Vasyl Guliuk,

“Name one capital in the world where people do not elect their mayor. There is none! I came here to protest and demand that the Kyiv city mayor should be elected, not appointed by somebody. This is the core of democracy and freedom.”

“Kyiv (mayoral) elections should be held on June 2, as planned. A person elected by Kyivans should be in charge of the city. Who is Popov anyway? He does not care about us, because we have not elected him.”
