Ukraine dismantled a huge 27ft Soviet-era monument located at the centre of Kyiv on Tuesday in response to Russia’s invasion of the country.
The bronze monument, under a giant titanium “People’s Friendship Arch”, was meant to portray friendship between the two now-warring neighbours.
Installed in 1982 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Soviet Union, it depicted a Ukrainian and Russian worker on a plinth holding together a Soviet order of friendship.
