According to Dmitry Kovalenko, the protesters "have come to the conclusion that they do not need a handout."

On August 24, Dmitry Kovalenko reported about 63 participants of the hunger strike. However, by the evening, Viktor Gorenko, Mayor of Gukovo, has reported on the increase in the number of the hunger-strikers up to 72.
