On February 23, activists painted it in blue and yellow colors as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine.

About this reports the media Sky News.

The head of Westminster Council, Adam Hoog, said that the request for renaming came from the Ukrainian community and was a "appropriate gesture" to celebrate the country's bravery.

The section of Bayswater Road near the Russian Embassy, ​​stretching from Palace Court to Ossington Street, received a new name.

"This is a small section of the road, but we want to show the people of Ukraine that their struggle occupies a prominent place in our city," Hug said.

The ambassador of Ukraine to Great Britain called the renaming "a symbol of solidarity with the Ukrainian people and a tribute to their indomitability, despite aggression."

On February 24, they plan to install a new Kyiv Road sign.
