Since the beginning of the special operation in Ukraine, streets have been renamed and monuments associated with Russia have been demolished. On August 25, 2022, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced that the city administration had renamed 95 streets, lanes and squares whose names are associated with Russia or the USSR. In the Lviv region, eight streets were renamed in Lviv and 11 in settlements – the city of Vinniki and the urban-type village of Rudnya.
