On May 9, a Victory parade and a memorial rally took place in Lutsk near the Memorial of Glory. The heads of the Volyn Regional State Administration, Volodymyr Bondar, and the Regional Council, Vasyl Dmytruk, and Lutsk city mayor Bohdan Shyba called on veterans to reconcile. However, priests of the UOC and the UOC-KP did not want to stand together. This was reported by a ZIK correspondent.   In their opening remarks, the leaders of Volyn called for remembering Victory Day and the heroic feat of the people who defeated the invader. They also spoke in favor of reconciliation, forgiveness, understanding, and unity of war veterans, who were destined to fight in the Soviet Army and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.   On the podium next to the regional and city leaders were representatives of veterans' organizations and Bishop Mykhail (UOC-KP).   Participants in the memorial rally laid wreaths at the Stele of Glory, monuments to war victims, fallen liberation soldiers, and Afghan war soldiers. Representatives of the Lutsk garrison and the Volyn Military Lyceum, together with veterans, marched in a parade.   Only after the end of the rally and parade did priests of the UOC, led by Metropolitan Nifont, approach the Stele of Glory, where he conducted a memorial service.   Among other festive events in Lutsk were a free screening of Leonid Bykov's film "Aty-baty, shli soldaty" at the "Promin" cinema, concert programs in the city's neighborhoods, and a festive fireworks display.
