The Day of Kyiv is celebrated on the last Sunday of May

Kyiv is an ancient city that has been the center of Ukrainian lands since the 9th century. Kyiv witnessed victories and defeats, wars and destructions, revolutions, and fights. 

Kyiv is the center of the Ukrainian state formation. 

Kyiv is the city where Ukraine’s independence was proclaimed and life-changing historical events took place.

Kyiv is Ukraine’s symbol of invincibility.

Every street, every building, and every meter of Kyiv’s territory has its peculiar history.

We prepared for you a selection of photos to feel the energy of the Ukrainian capital on the special day, its birthday, which is celebrated every last Sunday of May.
