The event was attended by the First Deputy Mayor of Lviv, Andriy Moskalenko, top officials of the region, clergy, and the public. A veteran of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Oleksandr Kutsal, who fought in Donbas, particularly near Bakhmut, and lost both legs during mortar shelling, was invited to raise the Ukrainian flag. After raising the flag, all attendees sang the National Anthem of Ukraine. To conclude the event, a special cancellation of a postage stamp dedicated to National Flag Day took place.
