Ah, you've been here! And it was somewhere after 2014 coz I see the building of Trade Unions that was on fire is closed with a banner. Yes, poignant and prophetic words. Back then it seemed to me that it can't be worse, but ... BTW, that place and renovated building looks very nice and modern now.
Kyiv will be waiting for you! And when (not if!) you decide to come let me know, I'd be happy to be your guide. 🙂
yes I visited in Spring of 2018, only a long weekend, I fell in Love!!! I spent hours in Independence Square just soaking up the atmosphere and chatting to people, and yes when I return, it would be great to meet you and enjoy your city again. Stay safe.
