Ukrainian Kyiv received the title of "honorary citizen" of the French capital.

About this said Mayor Ann Hidalgo.

She noted that the Paris City Hall voted unanimously to grant Kyiv the status of an honorary citizen. 

Thus, "Paris restores friendship and support to the Ukrainian capital, which is currently fighting for its freedom."

We will remind, the day before, as a sign of support for Ukraine, the Paris metro station have been named Europe-Ukraine. And in Vilnius, a street near the Russian embassy have been named in honor of Heroes of Ukraine.
