Workers installed Ukraineβs national trident on an iconic monument depicting the Motherland in Kyiv on Sunday (August 6), replacing old Soviet symbols in one of the most visible examples of breaking away from the past and Moscowβs influence.
The monument, a 62-metre-tall (200-foot) steel statue of a female warrior, was built in 1981 on top of a hill on the right bank of the Dnipro River. Gazing sternly east, the figure holds a 16-metre (52-foot) sword in her right hand and an eight-metre-long shield in her left.
Originally, the shield bore the Soviet Unionβs coat of arms β a crossed hammer and sickle surrounded by ears of wheat.

And why do Ukrainians need a monument "Motherland calls" and the memory of 27 million Soviet citizens who died in the fight against fascism?!…

All the communist emblems should have been stripped years ago.
It is a shame that by doing this these guys implicitly supported the killing and opression of Donbass citizens (which amounts to 15 thousand deads) before Russia finally decided to intervene.
It is also a shame to see how the West (composed by a majority of ignorant propaganda feeders) has been tricked, infatuated, by these vapid gestures.
Look like Woke Politics demonstrantors raising an Rainbow Flag… Glory to Russia…Z … π·πΊπ·πΊπ·πΊπ·πΊπ·πΊπ·πΊπ·πΊ

Unnecessary drama
Wise and brave Ukrainians successfully removed ugly Soviet emblem from National Statue. Better to put Drone in the right hand, and Javelin in the left hand instead knife & shield. God bless Ukraine. π π π π π π

Ukrainians don't run their country,just like U.S,Britain, Germany,France et al,Israel does.All Ukrainian government are Rothschild Agents.If Russia falls,the world follows soon afterwards.Ukraine is being cleared for second Jewish state,more fertile soil than the Middle East,the Khazars are heading north again.
Good idea! Instead making arms!
Give those guys who replaced the hammer and sickle with the emblem of Ukraine at least some metal of honor or some sort for something that will symbolize Ukraine for a long time! Slava Ukraina Ponad Use!!! πΊπ¦
They will die
This monument looks much better now.
I would have preferred they changed it to her holding aloft Putin's severed head, but the trident will do.
