«On the Reunion Day, people laid flowers to the Memorial of Ukrainian Galician Army and the tomb of the president of the Western Ukrainian People’s Republic Yevhen Petrushevych, the prime minister of the ZUNR Kost Levystkyi and other participants of national salvation movement» – the deputy head of Lviv oblast state administration Taras Batenko told the Razom site.

According to him, the Reunion Day is an important and symbolic date for Galician people. «We had been struggling for consolidation for years and at least the idea has been realized by respective acts.
