During loading, the Ukrainian choir gathered at the station sang its songs in their colorful costumes, while in the breaks the Sloviansk city band performed. It should be emphasized that they also played, as well as possible, the German national anthem. On saying goodbye from Sloviansk and the other quarters it was reconfirmed in other ways, too, that the division had increasingly acquired the sympathies of the Ukrainian population. |
