In Kyiv, Poroshenko and Lavrov were spotted on a monument erected under the USSR
The former mayor of Kyiv, and now a deputy of the City Council, Vladimir Bondarenko, spotted Petro Poroshenko and Sergei Lavrov among the sculptures of the Arch of Peoples' Friendship, installed in the Ukrainian capital back in Soviet times.

“In the so-called Arch of Friendship of Peoples there is a strange sculpture that reflects a specific relationship with the “fraternal friendly people” - the boyar looks down on such a well-known figure in Ukraine as Bogdan Khmelnitsky. He looks down there like Lavrov looks at Poroshenko, from above,” the deputy said at a meeting of the Standing Commission of the Kyiv City Council on Culture and Tourism.
The PolitNavigator correspondent, having studied the sculpture, came to the conclusion that Bondarenko was being disingenuous - in fact, both figures in the sculpture look in the same direction.
Earlier, reports appeared in the Ukrainian press about the possible demolition of the People's Friendship Arch as part of the “decommunization” campaign.
