On March 29, a Volyn delegation consisting of 45 people from almost all districts of the region took part in the forum of "Our Ukraine". The forum was attended by representatives of all regions of Ukraine, leaders of parliamentary factions, political parties and public organizations, ambassadors, clergy, and media representatives. In all speeches, ideas were voiced about the need for consolidation of all national-democratic forces, the creation of an open and effective system of power, and emphasis was placed on the importance of supporting a single candidate from democratic forces in the presidential elections. Questions were raised about the deep crisis of power, accompanied by corruption, the absence of freedom of speech and the existence of censorship, the dominance of the "law of oligarchic-clan force," the irresponsibility of officials, and the fragmentation of society into rich and poor.

Summing up the first year of activity of the "Our Ukraine" faction in the Verkhovna Rada, its leader, Viktor Yushchenko, noted: "there were losses, many had to endure a lot," at the same time he called not to judge harshly those who could not withstand pressure and persecution, "you are here, and Ukraine again lives with hope." Viktor Andriyovych also spoke about the lack of trust in the authorities, which "still continues to tear the country apart and destroy the traditional values of people," and about the fact that under the guise of political reform "an attempt is being made to divert attention from urgent problems." The slogan "Get out!" is not for Viktor Yushchenko the meaning of political struggle; it will quickly be replaced by more complex and deeper questions "how to act together further?" — the leader of "Our Ukraine" is convinced. He also emphasized: "we have no strategic differences with the participants of the Yulia Tymoshenko bloc. In terms of political demands, our tasks coincide with both the Socialist and Communist parties," therefore he called for unification, noting that "the cause will benefit from this. Society expects this." Viktor Yushchenko initiated the creation of a new public-political force that should protect the rights and interests of the individual, the family, and society as a whole.

During his speech, Petro Poroshenko called for looking at past mistakes and not allowing them in the future. Addressing the delegates of the forum, Petro Oleksiyovych emphasized that there is a single candidate for the post of President: "we have a leader of people's trust," this is Viktor Yushchenko. He also addressed those present with a call to cast aside their ambitions and become soldiers of a single campaign, to observe discipline, and to talk about positions in December 2004.

In Viktor Pynzenyk's speech, the importance of uniting right-wing forces and working on creating a new political force on the basis of "Our Ukraine" was discussed. In addition, he emphasized the need to go to the people, to discuss with them a reform program that will touch all spheres of life: "our address is not Hrushevskoho, 5 but — Kherson, Kharkiv, Donetsk...".

Concrete strategic tasks were discussed in Roman Bezsmertny's speech. He called the victory of the "Our Ukraine" bloc in the past elections the first victory, the first achievement on the path to democracy. The constant pressure by which today's authorities are guided in their work, the struggle against those who have a different opinion from the official one, demonstrates that power "must be obtained in full! Only then can one act and be responsible for one's actions!" — emphasized Roman Bezsmertny. The head of the election headquarters of the future presidential campaign stressed that the team has people capable of carrying out routine work in preparation for the elections. In particular, work is underway on developing a strategy for the next election campaign and basic program documents, on conveying information about the bloc to the people, regional branches of the bloc are being formed, work with the political environment is being coordinated, personnel selection and training for conducting the election campaign will be carried out, and trips to the regions of the state will be made. Roman Petrovych noted that "Our Ukraine" must go beyond the parliament, "we must create new principles of social life."

In addition to representatives of the "Our Ukraine" bloc, the forum was attended by Oleksandr Moroz (SPU), Anatoliy Matviyenko ("Sobor"), Stepan Havrysh, Ivan Plyushch, Yuriy Buzduhan (SDPU), A. Hurieiev (PPPU), Yuriy Palchakovskyi ("Yednist"), Vitaliy Kononov (PZU), Serhiy Odarych ("Yabluko").

A Resolution of the Forum was adopted, which assessed the current situation in the state and noted that society strives for political responsibility, stability, and defined and clear prospects. The forum supported the idea of creating an initiative group for organizing a political association, whose founding forum should be held in autumn 2003.
