"This is Russia's challenge": In Kiev, they created a counter -performance with a proposal to install a Christmas tree

Supporters of two opposite points of view collided in the capital. The author of the new petition asks not to allow the Russian Federation to steal the New Year holidays in Ukraine. An electronic petition appeared on the website of the Kyiv City Council with a call to install the main Christmas tree in the capital of the country, despite the current realities. Appeal to local authorities was a reaction to an earlier petition, which requires not to establish the main symbol of the New Year in Kiev.

The author of the first address Natalia Popovich believes that it is inappropriate to spend money on the purchase, installation, maintenance and dismantling of the Christmas tree. At the same time, the author of "Counterpression" Inna Bodnar is sure that the Christmas and New Year in war is not a whim. "It is a challenge of Russia that tries to steal our land, our identity, our holidays. We will not allow Russia to steal Christmas and New Year!" - appeals to the city authorities of Kiev.

According to her, the Christmas tree can be put for the money of patrons. She also believes that you can save without placing nothing but a holiday tree on Sofia Square. Bodnar emphasizes that during the New Year period you can do without mass events, but a Christmas tree as a symbol of Ukrainian resistance should stand. At the time of the news, 6 187 people voted for a petition that calls for not to install a Christmas tree. A petition with a request to put a festive tree in Kiev so far 587 votes.
