The money that will have to be spent on changing seals, plates, and much more would be better spent on helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is one of the key arguments why the Verkhovna Rada should not vote to change the name of the city of Brovary to Brovari. This opinion was voiced by Maksym Tkachenko, an assistant at the Department of Management and Business Administration of the University of Artificial Intelligence and Digitalization, a member of the Brovary City Council, in a commentary to UNN.

According to him, the controversial initiative of MP Roman Lozynsky and some of his colleagues to rename Brovary now that the country is at war is completely out of time.
I am in favor of the old name of the city of Brovary, which we have now. Such initiatives are absolutely out of time. This is the first thing. Secondly, it is financially expensive - seals, plates, etc. This will entail funds that can be easily and better sent to help the Armed Forces,

Viktor Gaidukov, a member of the Brovary City Council and a business representative, shares the same position.
"All businesses will need to change their documentation. New signs will have to be made in the city. Every resident will have to change everything. No one has calculated, but it is very expensive. These funds can be directed to the Armed Forces and this is much more important today," said Gaidukov in a comment to UNN.
In his turn, MP Vitaliy Bezgin arguesthat due to gaps in the legislation, the renaming of a settlement will not automatically entail the renaming of a community. Therefore, there will be no additional costs, including changes in documentation.
Context
At an extraordinary session, members of the Brovary City Council almost unanimously decided to support the initiative to preserve the name of the city "Brovary" and appealed to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine with a request not to consider the issue of renaming the city at the session.
A resolution to rename Brovary to Brovary was previously registered by a group of MPs led by a representative of the Golos faction, Roman Lozynskyi.
According to the mayor of Brovary, Ihor Sapozhko, there are three conclusions of scientific institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine that the name "Brovary" is historical and should be preserved.
