🇺🇦 A giant Ukrainian flag lit up in the city center for Independence Day
24 In August the facade of the Ukraine Hotel on Maidan Nezalezhnosti was transformed into a giant light projection of the national flag of Ukraine — one of the largest light installations of this year’s Independence Day.
The main image of the project was the flag of Ukraine as an embodiment of the freedom of the Ukrainian people.
The choice of location was deliberate: the Ukraine Hotel has been one of Kyiv’s most recognizable symbols and a witness to key events in modern Ukrainian history for more than six decades.
The project was carried out by the charitable MK Foundation, turning the hotel facade into a large canvas for one of the nation’s primary symbols.
“This project is, above all, a tribute to the Heroes who gave their lives for Ukraine’s independence, and a sign of support for all who are defending the country today,” emphasized Maksym Krippa.
The blue-and-yellow light projection fully covered the hotel facade and was visible far beyond the city center.
