In Kyiv, an eight-meter steel sculpture of the "Phoenix" was installed in front of the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, authored by artist Oleksiy Say. It is made in the form of a bird similar to the Ukrainian trident and symbolizes resilience, transformation, and the ability of Ukrainians to pass through fire without losing themselves. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
