About 3-4 thousand Volyn residents from all cities and districts of the region took part in a protest rally organized on June 21 at 16:00 in Lutsk on Kyiv Maidan by the Federation of Trade Unions of Volyn. The protest action against the government's policy of raising prices and tariffs for the population was supported by representatives of several political parties and public organizations. This was reported by a ZIK correspondent. The protest action was supported by representatives of BYuT, PZU, CPU and SPU, whose banners flew on Kyiv Maidan in Lutsk. Representatives of several public organizations also joined the action, in particular regional branches of the Union of Veterans and the Union of Afghan Warriors. Speakers sharply criticized the policy of the Yekhanurov government, which makes decisions on raising energy prices and tariffs for the population without taking proactive measures for social protection of the population. Chants of "Shame on the government!" and "We are many, and we cannot be defeated!" rang out at the rally. The head of the FPO of Volyn Ivan Karpomiz, a representative of the central apparatus of the FPU Mykola Pylypenko, representatives of sectoral trade unions of the region, and leaders of public organizations spoke before those present. On behalf of the executive authorities of the city and region, Lutsk Mayor Bohdan Shyba and acting deputy head of the Volyn RSA Vasyl Dmytruk spoke. Both stated that they accept the demands of the rally participants with understanding. Vasyl Dmytruk promised to convey them to the Cabinet of Ministers and the President of Ukraine. The rally participants adopted a final resolution in which they called on the government to suspend the implementation of the resolution on raising energy prices and tariffs, and also to sit down at the negotiating table with trade unions in order to jointly develop a decision on the necessary level of social protection of the population. The organizers of the rally called on Volyn residents to take the most active part in the All-Ukrainian trade union protest action planned for June 27 on Independence Square in Kyiv.
