On Saturday, November 21, on the Day of Dignity and Freedom, Prime Minister
of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk and members of the Government met with
participants of Euromaidan those who had suffered in the events of
winter 2013-2014.
In the meeting there took part Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Culture
of Ukraine Viacheslav Kyrylenko, Minister of Internal Affairs of
Ukraine Arsen Avakov, Minister of Justice of Ukraine Pavlo Petrenko
and a representative of the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine.
The participants honoured the memory of all those who had died for the
independence of Ukraine with a minute of silence.
"Much time has passed, much has happened. Our country and all of us
have faced great challenges after the Maidan events", said Arseniy
Yatsenyuk.
So today, he stressed, we cannot say that the Maidan is over: "We have
Maidan every day. Maidan is inside us in the struggle to ensure Ukraine
receiving support from the West, to accumulate money for salaries, pensions for
military personnel and to build such a discussion we are having today", he
said to the participants ofEuromaidan.
"All of us should be only on the same side", emphasized Arseniy
Yatsenyuk.
He offered to publish a book of memoirs about the Maidan events –
"about real memories of all those who are now in this room, those who are
not here with us now".
Arseniy Yatsenyuk appealed to Viacheslav Kyrylenko to set up
a group: "I offer throughout a year, by the next anniversary of the
Maidan, to publish the history of our collective memories."
The Head of Government stressed that the Maidan "is not just something
that happened two years ago": "For freedom and dignity one should
fight every day. All of us, the way we can. Replacing scream and hatred,
disappointment and misery with joint work together for the good of this
country. The country each of us has dreamed and is still dreaming to build
after the Maidan events".
