"Today, Ukrainians from different parts of our state have joined hands and formed a human chain of unity on the Charles Bridge in Prague. The rally took place in solidarity with Ukraine, where Right-Bank Ukraine and Left-Bank Ukraine [historical and territorial names for parts of modern Ukraine on the right (west) and left (east) banks of the Dnipro River] are symbolically united annually via a human chain on Kyiv's Paton Bridge. In such a way, local Ukrainians joined the celebration of Unity Day and the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the Act Zluky ['Unification Act']," the Embassy of Ukraine in Prague wrote on Facebook on January 20.
