In the city of Ivano-Frankivsk in western Ukraine, locals captured on video some men carrying Easter baskets running away quickly. The videographer stated that these men saw recruitment officers in uniform arrive at the church.

The local media in Ukraine rarely commented, but they mentioned that this incident of people running away from the church is actually a traditional activity for Easter: the Easter basket race. The men run to bring home Easter bread, symbolizing a bountiful year. This tradition has long existed in western Ukraine.
