Prospekt Pravdy project station on Varshavskaya.
In addition, according to the mayor Vitaliy Klitschko, a number of streets and lanes in different parts of the metropolis were de-Russified. He did not specify their names.
In total, 314 city objects have already received new names in Kyiv, Klitschko noted.
The process of de-Russification in Kyiv continues, the mayor added.
At the beginning of this year, the Kyiv authorities reported that city residents voted on new names for the capital’s metro stations.
Recall that with the start of a full-scale invasion of Russia in Kyiv, the process of extracting symbols and names associated with the aggressor country and replacing Soviet and Russian toponyms in the city’s facilities has intensified.
