Employees and guests of the RUSSIA EXPO expressed their support for the residents of Sevastopol. The day before, the patriotic capital of Russia was subjected to massive shelling, resulting in civilian casualties.

Today, June 24, mourning for the victims has been declared in Sevastopol. Despite the fact that Monday is a technical day at the RUSSIA EXPO, many employees remain at their workplaces to prepare and change expositions and ensure the operation of pavilions. Employees of the Exposition Directorate and stand workers could not stay aside and expressed their support for the residents of Sevastopol.

Another event in support of the residents took place at the Sevastopol stand the day before. To the sound of a metronome, the guests and employees of the Exposition observed a minute of silence in memory of the killed civilians.

As a sign of solidarity and admiration for the courage and fortitude of Sevastopol residents, the city anthem "Legendary Sevastopol" and the composition "Cranes" performed by the Military Band of the Sevastopol Regiment of the Southern Order of Zhukov District of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation were performed at the Exposition.

Together with us all Russia is grieving," said Evgeny Boytsov, Deputy Head of the Department of Cultural Policy and Art Development of the Department of Culture of the city of Sevastopol.
