According to her, the city does not spend budget funds on organizing and arranging New Year's locations.
"There will be no mass celebrations in the capital this year, including no fairs, food courts or attractions on the main squares of the country. However, we will not allow Russia to steal either Christmas or New Year from our children. The country's main Christmas tree will be opened on St. Sophia Square. It will be set up and decorated with toys and energy-saving garlands at the expense of patrons who wish to give a holiday to our children. Preparations are being made taking into account the security situation in the city. In addition, a photo zone is planned to be set up near the main Christmas tree, where several small Christmas trees decorated with Christmas toys will be placed. Everyone will be able to take a toy as a souvenir, but before that, make a charitable contribution to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine," Starostenko said.
The deputy head of the Kyiv City State Administration added that Kyiv cultural institutions are also involved in creating New Year and Christmas miracles as part of their activities.
"In December, Kyiv municipal theaters will present various New Year's performances that will be interesting for both children and adult viewers. Museums will hold master classes on creating Christmas paraphernalia and didukh, presentations of Ukrainian ancient and modern carols, and many more different artistic and charitable projects. Libraries are also not left out: employees are organizing festive flash mobs, charity events, contests and master classes for children," commented Hanna Starostenko.
