Ukraine to replace Soviet symbol with its own trident; Zelensky says war 'returning' to Russian land

Ukraine has started work to remove the Soviet hammer and sickle emblem from an iconic huge statue in Kyiv.

Workers on Sunday cut the laurel leaves from around the emblem and lowered them to the ground beside the Motherland Monument, Europe’s tallest statue.

The old Soviet emblem will be replaced with a tryzub, the three-pronged emblem of Ukraine, which is intended to be ready before August 24, Ukraine's Independence Day.

On the same day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country was gradually gaining strength in its resistance to Russia's “invasion”, and that war is returning to Russian territory, after all.

The remark comes after yet another drone attack on Moscow early Sunday which damaged an office complex in the city’s business district and injured one person.

Zelensky is a liar. Russia never gave time frames. Only said denazification and demilitarisation. However long that took.

[samueljr.]

John Mearsheimer, a politic scientist, told yesterday Ukraine lost the war, giving 43% of ukranian territory in the hands of Russia, including Odessa.

[Darknova]

These Ukrainian people day by day forgetting who they are and who save their lives and fight the very people who give them protection for the US benefit.

That criminal is the personification of evil. He does not even look that Ukraine was left without export ports, he is talking of childish terrorist attacks with baby drones. The Ukrainians should revolt against him.

Zelenskyy regime is on its last legs. Its final demise is a matter of months not years. With catastrophic failures on the frontlines of the war, Zelenskyy regime resorts to terrorist attacks as one Austrian artist did in 1945. Meanwhile Zelenskyy goons are literally rounding up civilians including even disabled in the streets and even without minimal training throwing them into the meat grinder . I suppose it's done not to achieve any breakthroughs, but to avoid immediate front collapse. This desperate cannon fodder tries to surrender or run away at the first opportunity, so the only way to control them is to push them forward at gunpoint.

What if this is not an enemy symbol and is being replaced by an enemy symbol???

[lalhriatpuiahauchhum]

What's wrong with the west, why are they acting so childish, i once thought of them as heroes saving the world turns out we are all the same😞

😂😂😂 using the Russian ancestral king symbol (tryzub) from Novgorod as a Ukrainian symbol is quite ironic.

[erik_]

Well Zelenskys house is not in Kiev anyway, so Kiev can be sacrificed in favor of Odessa...

[Razzle_Dazzle-]

Still can't change history that statue was build by Russian and Tryzub is Russian medieval symbol 😂

[bzik]

they should be put emblem of BLACROCK it will be more true

[gsc]

I wonder how he feels about being a traitor to his heritage... 😅
I know it's not completely true as Russia has taken most of that land so he actually was a benefactor to Russia. However, his intentions..

Russia lost 3billion of military equipment but obtained how many billion in land mostly beachfront property. Western way of growing economy hope they factor it in as capital gains 😂

[Legio_Purpura__]

Ach yes.
Tfu khazar symbol instead of symbol of victory.
Why to use middleground khokholo-khazars use swastika or yankee-khazar eagle.

[mrmyoujou]

Keep on fighting, Ukraine! Soon you will be free from the Russian Orcish invasion! 😂

[capt]

War is war.
Take it to Russia and putin

[farangkohsamui]

Selensky! Ich ahne dein Schicksal, frag mal Adolf!LOL
