On June 3, on the eve of Journalist's Day, in the Oval Hall of the Volyn Regional State Administration, Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Ukraine to Lithuania Borys Klymchuk, in his welcoming address, asked his fellow journalists "not to let the new government become covered in gold plating and turn to bronze," – reported the own correspondent of the Western Information Corporation.
Borys Petrovych, who himself headed the Volyn Regional State Administration for several years, admitted that it was precisely the sharp words and articles of Volyn journalists that allowed him to remain a human being. "Volyn is poor, honest, but very proud," the ambassador continued, "it is you journalists who must restore the good name of Volyn. For 2.5 years on Volyn land, whether through carelessness or unprofessionalism, it was not our own people but strangers who governed. I will do everything so that there is no desecration of a person, of a journalist."
As president of the "Native Volyn" charitable foundation, Borys Klimchuk supported 7 journalists who can no longer write, presenting each of them with financial assistance.
Borys Petrovych promised that he would provide all possible assistance in the visit of a Volyn delegation of journalists to the Republic of Lithuania, and also announced a competition for articles about ordinary Volyn residents who live next to us, entitled "Person of the Region," the results of which will be summarized in January of next year.
