According to Volodymyr Bondarenko, Secretary of the Kyiv City Council, familiar place names from the Soviet Union always have a hostile ideological meaning that has been influencing our consciousness for decades.
Pravda Avenue was named after the central organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the Pravda newspaper. During the war, the Kyiv City Council decided to decolonize the avenue. The name was proposed in honor of the economic and political union that unites 27 member states located in Europe. The European Union is a long-standing and reliable geopolitical, economic, and, more recently, military partner of Ukraine
