Kyiv, March 31, 2016.<\/strong> <\/em>There is a lack of everything Ukrainian in the towns nearby the contact line. \u201cIt is in the air in Kramatorsk, Druzhkivka, Volnovakha and Sloviansk that years of impact of Ukrainian culture are missing. And children are thirsty for it,\u201d said Sashko Lirnyk, author of fairy tales, artistic director of \u201cAgit-tran\u201d presenting the project at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center. He said many artists want to showcase Ukrainian culture in the east, there are already over 50 artists ready to perform for children. Meanwhile Agit-train heading to eastern Ukraine is a pilot project, however the organizers hope that it will become a permanent one. \u201cIt is important that the project becomes permanent, because Ukraine wins where Ukrainian culture and language is. Where it is not \u201cRussian world\u201d usually comes in with tanks,\u201d emphasized the artistic director of Agit-train.<\/p>\n

The Church has long made a decision to help the Ukrainian army and civilians in the east, noted Archpriest Taras Melnyk, First Deputy Head of the Synodal Department of the Military Clergy of Ukraine. The Church sends 50-70 chaplains to ATO zone monthly, they are working with military and civilians. Spiritual support in eastern Ukraine will be one of the components of Agit-train project. Part of the Agit-train will be equipped as a chapel, there will be a chaplain on the train. Our chaplains who are coordinators on the spots will be joining the train at respective stops. All the chaplains deployed to military bases in this area will be jointly conducting this work. Their presence will come as not only a sign of patriotism but they will also bring spirituality and hope for peace to the military and civilians,\u201d the Archpriest explained.<\/p>\n

The train is a symbol of spirituality and eternity, noted MP Oksana Yurynets. \u201cWe would like that this exchange continues, that the east and the west will always be together. If we are not doing this, if we do not start it, we will not see that the country can change and unite,\u201d the MP says. She said in the framework of the project books will be sent to children in the east. Next train going to the east on Easter will bring the children wooden \u201cPysanky\u201d (painted eggs) with paints that the children may use to color the eggs.<\/p>\n

MP Yaroslav Dubnevych, Head of the parliamentary committee on transportation emphasized the importance of engaging in the work to popularize the Ukrainian heritage and culture. \u201cWe should go to the east and be explaining to the Ukrainian population that has been disenchanted and that had little information [\u2026] what the Ukrainian authorities and civil society wants, what we as Ukrainians want to do together in our country. Our strength is in our unity and it is the most important thing,\u201d emphasized Dubnevych.<\/p>\n

Olena Fidanyan, Director of the Department for Education and Science, Youth and Sports at the Kyiv state city administration is of the opinion that the Revolution of Dignity cannot be completed in one day. Main task in today\u2019s Ukraine is children\u2019s patriotic education, says Fidanyan. \u201cThis train is not merely a machine for us but a live mechanism. Because upon getting on the train our children will see their own works, will learn how to help their friends and family in time of need, how to support others. But the main thing is they will learn to love their country, be patriots and realize that the state is living through not its best times today and it\u2019s only them who can change the situation. Everything is in their hands,\u201d said Director of the Department for Education and Science, Youth and Sports at the Kyiv state city administration.<\/p>\n

Iryna Sydorenko, volunteer of the group \u201cKramatorsk Bees\u201d said that in the framework of Agit-train project it is planned to make camouflage netting, Kikimora ghillie suits, to present Ukrainian books and a festival of Ukrainian fairy tales. \u201cHowever our first task is the national and patriotic education as well as \u2018soft Ukrainization\u2019,\u201d the volunteer noted.<\/p>\n

Emergency medical service will accompany the Agit-train, said Anatoliy Vershygora, Director of the Kyiv Center for emergency and disaster medicine. In case of need the experts will be providing medical assistance as well as will be holding master classes on pre-hospital medical aid provision to both adults and children. \u201cOur main task is to teach the children to render medical aid to themselves and to each other,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Both volunteers and state services are engaged in the Agit-train, the organizers said. \u201cIt became possible to fully implement the Agit-train project only thanks to the support people gave us on volunteer basis,\u201d emphasized Mykola Bondar, Kish Otaman (Cossack military rank), Head of NGO \u201cKoloMedia\u201d.<\/p>\n
