Authorities in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv ordered the demolition of a monument symbolising historic ties between Ukraine and Russia on April 27, 2022, more than two months after Russian troops invaded their neighbour. Former boxing champion Vitali Klitschko, who’s now the mayor of Kyiv, said city officials were working on plans to demolish around 60 monuments in the capital related to Russia and the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, Klitschko added, some 460 streets and other objects in the city are slated for renaming.

Likely no Putin statues if not he will go crazy n start using nuclear missiles.
So sad the friendship of Russian Ukraine has broken apart healing to both sides who are still hoping that there is the healing and unity after the war,both countries need to have thier own independence I have friends from both sides and its heart breaking this war devide them constantly..
Actually we weren't friends as nations. They just occupied our territory and killed many Ukrainians who didn't want to take their rules.
Russians civilians have been killed in this war ? There is no equivalences between the two parts Ukraine has been bombed and destroyed by Russia not the other way around
It should already be broken
If you study history then you should know the innumerable atrocities Russia committed against Ukraine
There has NEVER been friendship between Ukrainians and Russians. It's a concept created in the Soviet Union to legitimise absorption of Ukraine by Russia.
There were no friendship, what are you talking about? How can you call it a friendship when it's build on deceit and propaganda
Anger inducing. Absolute betrayal for a war of conquest. Destroyed the relations of the two countries for at least a generation.
It will be forever I'll bet

In my honest opinion, there doesn't need to be any sympathy for any "historical value", when even one of its own designers, questions and denounces its very existence.
Dont care didnt ask
Ok
He's designer, not a politician, historian or something. Destroying history is unforgivable. This is not something pure evil to do that. Ukraine can destroy all monuments they want, but rewriting history is not that simple.

@@user-sonyn if Russia loses then the west would directly attack on Russia as Russia's morals would be low , and Putin would ultimately use nukes to defend and if he doesn't then he might be expecting the west to capture Moscow in like 6 months , USA and Canada would easily launch an attack from the east because of Alaska and Europe will attack from the west , so if Russia doesn't win this war then either it will get conquered or else it will nuke everything

You cant rewrite history no matter how many statues you take down.
This is not trying to rewrite history. History is being written on a new page, documenting why Ukraine is doing this and demonstrating that dignity and mutual respect is the essence of friendship, once you break it by abusive behavior or even attitude, it’s gone. This becomes part of history. Russian rooks must adopt a new spirit in them, one that is devoid of imperialism, then this great nation can become attractive to all, including her neighbors. Right now and for the past hundreds of years, Russia has not acted righteously and respectfully.

This has nothing to do with Russia,they already destroyed dozens of amazing public art like mosaic/staue/mural from the socialist era,some even made by Ukrainian themselves.
To change the system doesn't mean u should destroy the history,keep them and treat them as art is the right way.
Even Bulgaria as a country of NATO has started to rebuild their broken Buzludzha.

@@hwuharry9719 And that's the thing, you see them as art...they do not.
@@hwuharry9719 : perhaps it's a coping mechanism, a way for Ukrainians to grieve for their dead, and for a shared history now forever shattered. This is Ukraine's 'declaration' that from now on they cannot walk the same path as Russia.

Yeah, me neither
So sad to see this statue go down. I mean I sympathize with the Ukrainians for what is happening to them now, however this statue is a symbol of them being Soviets in the past. The Russian soviets didn't betray Ukraine, nor the Russian soviets causing this war, it was Putin, and behind Putin is a circle of oligarchs who profitted from the fall of the then Soviet Union.
I respect the USSR for being the first ever to establish a worker's state, the respect is equally given to both Russian soviets and Ukrainian soviets, and this is too heartbreaking to see.

@@foxsteam according to him Ukraine is bombing the Dunbass Region where russian-speaking people are residing. And that NATO violated the Minsk Agreement by showing signs of allowing Ukraine to be admitted to NATO.

You forgot Stalin starved Ukrainians to the point of genocide when Soviet Russia stole all nations food to feed Russia in the Holodomor. Soviets denied it ever happened and insists there was no famine in Ukraine. The Holodomor and the current Russian-Ukrainian War will not be the first or last time Russia has treated Ukraine so horribly.
It's sad to see how postsoviet countries slaughter each other in wars of rich politicians, but most horrible thing is that it won't end soon
